'His best was as good as it gets'

"The truly great ones, the ones who put every drop of energy they have into what they do, often reach a point where, very suddenly, it occurs to them that they aren't what they once were. Their energy level isn't the same; their enjoyment of what they do isn't the same; their desire isn't the same. And, in most cases, they aren't winning as much, and every one of them craves winning."
-- John Feinstein in an excellent column on the retirement of Coach Bob Knight

Long live Coach Knight! IU will never forget him. Sure, he was a jerk. But he was our jerk.

You can have the jerk.

I'm just glad to have him out of the Big XII.

Hate! Hate! Hate!

Just kidding.

I don't hate the man, just his jerkitude.
