I have some unfortunate news for Bob Knight fans. If you see any of them, please let them know.
SportsbyBrooks is reporting that Fran Fraschilla will replace Bob Knight on ESPN’s Big Monday college basketball telecasts. That means we can all enjoy Monday night college basketball games again.
I feel awful for whatever intern had to break the news to Knight.

Good, need to kick him off ESPN and Tv for good. Bob is the worst and most boring ever to speak into as mike!
October 11th, 2012 at 8:06 pm
Chyeah!
October 11th, 2012 at 8:06 pm
i haven’t seen either one of his fans in quite some time now.
October 11th, 2012 at 8:07 pm
ABUSER. I PUT HIM IN THE SAME CATEGORY AS SANDUSKY. ESPN IS FINALLY WISING UP.
October 11th, 2012 at 8:11 pm
Damn. I was hoping he would do the telecast so he would hear the loudest Boooo he’s ever heard. It might have caused the banners to wave.
October 11th, 2012 at 8:13 pm
eff Bobby!
October 11th, 2012 at 8:16 pm
dang…i was hopin Joe B would slap him on tv…
October 11th, 2012 at 8:20 pm
I Still hate ESPN! Dan Patrick Show and KSR. All the sports one needs.
October 11th, 2012 at 8:21 pm
Ihave it on pretty good authority the Knight is one of the few people that Joe Hall truly dislikes.. Coached the pants off him the regionalfinals in 75
October 11th, 2012 at 8:24 pm
look out, there goes another chair!
October 11th, 2012 at 8:25 pm
Yea, the cards are falling, “Friend”……
October 11th, 2012 at 8:26 pm
#4. don’t go there.
October 11th, 2012 at 8:27 pm
Knight needs a vacation…Puerto Rico is nice this time of year
October 11th, 2012 at 8:31 pm
@ 4 – I’m not so sure a Knight:Sandusky comparison is appropriate; however, Knight is a turd, and the nation will be better off without having to hear his sand-and-glue voice and ignorant comments any longer
October 11th, 2012 at 8:33 pm
The comments section under the James Young story on espn is exploding from trollers. They hate us. They really hate us.
October 11th, 2012 at 8:34 pm
When I have the displeasure of having to be around a HooHoo, I find
plenty of those idiots still think this guy’s wonderful. Somethin’
in the water up there in yankee country, man. Sickening.
October 11th, 2012 at 8:34 pm
Couldn’t happen to a nicer guy.
So what about Tuesday thru Sunday???
October 11th, 2012 at 8:35 pm
A permanent vacation. Seriously I love this guy “Baby” but he is now embarassing all of us with his antics. Come Bobby..get out of the limelight. Your makeing yourself look bad in your twighlight. We can only do so much to protect your legacy. You keep it up, all bets are off.
October 11th, 2012 at 8:37 pm
Couldn’t happen to a nicer guy. I’m glad that grumpy old bastard is out.
October 11th, 2012 at 8:41 pm
I think I’m the better Knight comparison. He just got away with it due to the lack of things like the Internet, phone cameras, and media that give the public instant information.
October 11th, 2012 at 8:41 pm
Don’t feel too bad for poor Booby – I hear he’s gonna be hositn a halfhour lead-in to “Big Monday” called “Big Dumbass.”
October 11th, 2012 at 8:43 pm
Yea, well, OK… I thought the guy was a tool. He was no where near as good as HE thought he was
October 11th, 2012 at 8:44 pm
You dont know how happy that makes me…
October 11th, 2012 at 8:45 pm
geez, thank goodness. now I can finally turn the volume back up.
when will espn come to their senses and get rid of bk altogether?
October 11th, 2012 at 8:48 pm
This day keeps gettin better!!!!
October 11th, 2012 at 8:51 pm
The was NO chance I was going to watch ‘Big Monday’ if Knight was on, he is such a waste of a human being.
October 11th, 2012 at 8:52 pm
yes!!!!! I’m so glad he is gone his voice gave me goosebumps
October 11th, 2012 at 8:57 pm
So… What your saying is we cannot torture our team…When was that going to be communicated?…. Crap, @#!& I’m screwed
October 11th, 2012 at 8:57 pm
wayyyyy to fare 26 waaayy to far
October 11th, 2012 at 8:58 pm
is that the real billy?
October 11th, 2012 at 9:01 pm
Dear ESPN: BBN says “Duh”.
October 11th, 2012 at 9:05 pm
But now when they talk about the best teams, they won’t be able to obviously not mention us!
October 11th, 2012 at 9:10 pm
The intern is dead…the General choked him!
October 11th, 2012 at 9:23 pm
if we paid noel to come here (which we didn’t) we know it’s OK to pay him 5,000 dollars because that’s what uconn did with boatright and Kansas did with shelby.

So what we are seeing is this team in Indiana that places success above academics. There is this coach called Creen that will do what ever he can to win. This includes recruiting suspect recruits to further the cause of championships at the university . Academics are second to the cause. Fundamentally I find this to be wrong as academics should be first. But; if I can manipulate the system and do the “EXACT” same thing as Kentucky, and provide an advantage for Indiana, I am all over it. Others will says there is cheating involved, but we will pull the BK / MK Card. We will succeed, we are strong, no one can tell us we’re wrong. Ok wait….. that’s a Pat Benatar song…Seriously do I even have a unique thought. sigh……
October 11th, 2012 at 9:57 pm
What #1 said. Espn needs to get rid of Bob Knight!
October 11th, 2012 at 10:11 pm
#19 said it appropriately – Knight is a “grumpy old bastard”.
October 11th, 2012 at 10:42 pm
Knight and Calhoun would be a bad dream to have living on either side of you in a retirement community. Grumpy, bitter old curmudgeons…
October 11th, 2012 at 11:12 pm
Does anyone really give a crap about this crusty old fart.
October 11th, 2012 at 11:38 pm
You guys are too hard on my ole coach. He’s really a sweetheart of a guy…very misunderstood. Why just a couple of weeks ago he invited your Coach Cal to go pheasant hunting with him. Where will you find a softer-hearted man?
October 11th, 2012 at 11:49 pm
Knuck Fight!
October 12th, 2012 at 12:45 am
Kentuckians are inbred hill-people.
October 12th, 2012 at 12:48 am
Reminder: heavy trash day is Monday….MERRRRRRY CHRISTMAS KENTUCKIANS!!

#44 if you are who you say you are you’d best mark a spot since you have shown that you are a complete asshole and a hypocrite!!
