November 18, 200520 yr This from Dan Wetzel - who is doing a traveling diary for the college basketball preseason on Yahoo!. I thought this was pretty damn classic Bob Knight, and funny to boot. Bob Knight said we could come to dinner with him on Wednesday Night at Churrascaria Plataforma, one of those Brazilian steakhouses where they keep hauling out a panoply of savory meats. Anyway, he said he wouldn't pay for us because buying a meal for a sportswriter might affect his chances of getting into heaven. "I don't want to have to answer for that one with St. Peter," he said. Not interested in ensuring Knight's eternal damnation (a proposition some other sports writers certainly would have gone for) we offered to pick up the bill. "Well, I am bringing a couple guys," he said. We boldly said no problem. We'll pay for everyone. Then the team bus, with Tech's 30-strong traveling party, pulled up. "What do you think of my guys?" Knight laughed as an endless line filed into the place. Remember that this is $40 a plate. LMAO!
November 18, 200520 yr QUOTE(greasywheels121 @ Nov 18, 2005 -> 04:06 PM) Nice game last night. Yea, hopefully more to come for Texas Tech. They deserve to get their asses beat.
November 18, 200520 yr i was surprised at the way blobby acted last night. he behaved as if he was just sitting back and enjoying it.
November 18, 200520 yr Author I think he knows when to be an ass and when not to be. Last night was a learning experience. Period. And he knows it.
November 18, 200520 yr He has his upside's and downsides. He instills discipline and makes his players actually be student athletes. But he also is an ass. I have to say I like him though, but its probably because I have a temper also. I can understand why people still don't like him.
