The biggest lesson Bob Knight taught me
I learned a lot of lessons from coach Bob Knight over the years. There’s one that is more important than all of the other lessons combined.

Stevie Shoot a 3Pointer
Butler may be in the Final Four again (Go Dawgs, by the way), but they don’t have the best March Madness song. Ever! You must go to this site and listen to the song. “Get me a ticket for an aeroplane…” come on now, you know you want to sing along…

Bob Knight & Assembly Hall
I don’t know if he’s still doing it, but for a very long time, Dick Vitale was relentlessly calling for IU to rename Assembly Hall to Robert Montgomery Knight Assembly Hall. Nevermind the fact that the school usually doesn’t name facilities after someone until after that person has died. And although Knight has retired from…

Thanks, Coach
I could share all of the memorable quotes from this very colorful figure, and maybe I’ll do that someday. But for now, in recognition of Coach Knight’s retirement (which is effective immediately), I figured it’s appropriate to post this video. Be sure to watch that beautiful shot at the end of the video.

Greatest game ever?

Indians Game Pictures – FINALLY!

Thank you, Mr. Eifler!
Tonight is Larry Eifler’s final performance as a teacher in the EVSC. It will be a very special This is Our Story. Mr. Eifler taught me how to play trumpet. I know I wasn’t very good, but he had the patience necessary to teach me the fundamentals. I remember there were three of us in…

Downhill from here?
Looking at the mindset of this year’s incoming freshman class, I have realized two things that make me feel very old… This year’s freshmen never saw the Challenger fly (#54). All of the mainstream press is making a big deal about this class having grown up with Starbucks. That’s not the big shocker to me….

Staying Put…(You heard it here 3rd)
This just in… IU is keeping Mike Davis is keeping his job as coach of the Hoosiers. Now Steve Alford, Tulane, Tennessee, Bruce Pearl, and anyone else mentioned in the perpetual rumor mill that is IU fandom this season can get back to their lives as usual. The Indianapolis Star reports the Athletic Department intends…
