Thursday night Hoosiers everywhere mourned Bob Knight’s finale as a broadcaster for ESPN. The Big Blue Nation had to suffer through a terrible lost, only to accumulate further with Bruce Pearl denouncing the Cats every chance he could. Coach Knight was actually quite respectful of the Cats, even giving Frank Ramsey a shout-out during the game. While most of #BBN is glad he is gone, I am highly distraught. Adding senility to a crazy white-haired Hoosier is great for television. The only thing I can imagine better than Knight calling basketball games, is giving him his own golf show. I may have spoke to soon; Knight actually had a golf show in the late-80s. Now I don’t know if the show was worth watching, but these outtakes are GOLD. Watching him slam his wedge into sand repeatedly gives me pure joy.
[WARNING: Bob Knight literally invented cursing, he's like a hundred years old. F-Bombs fly almost immediately, so keep the young'uns FAR AWAY when watching this video.]

Hoosiers win on the road AGAIN and win outright B1G title. What have you done this year Little Brother? PayPal Cal still scared of Tom Crean?
March 10th, 2013 at 7:35 pm
Congrats on ALL your cahmpionships over the last QUARTER CENTURY ( 0 ) !!!!!
March 10th, 2013 at 7:36 pm
Old washed up coach who looks like a mad at the world old drunk. My has times changed. He is a poster child for what coaches don’t want to look like and act like later in life.
March 10th, 2013 at 7:37 pm
Come to think of it…only time has changed. He really hasn’t.
March 10th, 2013 at 7:38 pm
@1 Cal agreed to play the “we haven’t won a Championship in 26 years” Hoosiers on a neutral court and Crean turned it down.
March 10th, 2013 at 7:39 pm
BTW, additional congrats to Knight on his (forced) retirement. RIP you f^(&#!@%

This writer needs to take some English classes, or at least find a good editor. My 6 year old makes less mistakes and has better syntax. Embarrassed for KSR to see this…
March 10th, 2013 at 7:41 pm
#1, right… The defending National Champs fear the red pinstripes. Haha. Good one.
March 10th, 2013 at 7:42 pm
My IQ was cut in half reading this piece of shit.
March 10th, 2013 at 7:44 pm
I was really surprised at how respectful Knight was when he called our two games this season. We played like crap both games and lost badly and he could have easily piled on and pointed out how crappy we were. But he didn’t. I found his analysis very interesting and it showed his obvious understanding of the game. I can honestly say I don’t hate him anymore and I’m sad to see him go.
March 10th, 2013 at 7:45 pm
Seems like, after all of the success, KSR would be able to find writers with basic knowledge of the English language. I’m not normally one to comment about these type of things, but this post was very hard to read.
March 10th, 2013 at 7:49 pm
The whole state of indiana will close down for the LOOSIERS and the sorry ass little ten title! #1 suck it! GO CATS!!
March 10th, 2013 at 7:53 pm
Ol’ Bob may be 100 years old, but two quick points for the “writer”:
1. You’ll get old one day, too & hopefully people will treat you with a little more respect than you’re capable of.
2. I’ll bet Bob knows how to spell LOSS, you sleaze.

With all the work Matt, Drew, TT, and Beisner put into this site for you to post something like this containing this many errors in grammar and spelling is pathetic. If you can’t do better than this then type your blog in Word first and spell/grammar check it before you send it on. I thought the prerequisite for writing on this site was that you had to be in college? I hope you put better effort into this on your midterms or you’re going to spend a lot more time there.
March 10th, 2013 at 8:08 pm
Look, guys, let me clarify what I mean by “little brother.” I’m actually complimenting you. I’m saying you’re the good looking, athletic, hip, younger brother that gets all of the chicks, makes a lot of money, etc. We’re like the decrepit older brother who celebrates every day that he wakes up without a pantsload of sh!t and watches re-runs of Designing Women all day, whose only accomplishment in life is saying, “This one time I beat my little brother at pick-up basketball… Nevermind that he was only four years old.” But every now and then, when I OD on Viagra, you’d better watch the F out.
March 10th, 2013 at 8:11 pm
@1: WOOHOO! Road win? yay Big 10 regular season title? That’s dynamite.
Come back again when you’ve accomplished something worthwhile.
March 10th, 2013 at 8:12 pm
Absolutely hilarious !!!
March 10th, 2013 at 8:14 pm
And what is the first thing you do to celebrate your team’s victory, #1? That’s right-you come over to the UK board. Why do you think that is? Think about it. And many of us are scared of Tom Crean, but not for the reason you think.
March 10th, 2013 at 8:16 pm
Personally, I’m glad this old Muther F&$@er is retiring. I can’t stand this c@ck sucking Muther f$&@er!!!!!
March 10th, 2013 at 8:21 pm
Terribly BAD!! FOUL LANGUAGE!! Ought to be deleted immediately!!!
March 10th, 2013 at 8:24 pm
Where is the UK GLBT’s team championship game post?
March 10th, 2013 at 8:26 pm
What exactly are Thursday night Hoosiers?
March 10th, 2013 at 8:30 pm
Holy crap those Bobby Knight outakes are hilarious!! Man he was funny before he went senile!
March 10th, 2013 at 8:41 pm
I could never be sad about Bobby Knight leaving anywhere.
March 10th, 2013 at 8:49 pm
Seriously? Did you hear him calling the Uk game the other night? The most biased piece of %#^* I have ever listened to broadcast a game. He was obviously rooting for Georgia the whole time. Don’t understand how you can seriously write this crap…you should be fired
March 10th, 2013 at 8:50 pm
ok this could be the greatest videos in the history of videos he needs his own happy gilmore type movie
March 10th, 2013 at 8:54 pm
READ YOUR WORK BEFORE YOU POST IT! I will bet you any amount of money it would have made as little sense to you as it did for us the readers. Very poor work. Spell check only works if there are no other words that match. In your case….instead of loss you went with lost. Just proof read your work! Only to accumulate further….were you predicting snow or what.
March 10th, 2013 at 9:15 pm
I couldn’t agree more with some of the previous posts. This site has gone from informative and original to absolute garbage. I’ve got no problem with Matt, Drew, and others with actual journalistic talent using this platform to lead to bigger things, but don’t just hand the keys over to a bunch of hacks who can’t even spell, let alone use grammar properly. Shut it down boys. Take this thing out back and put it out of it’s misery.
March 10th, 2013 at 9:21 pm
28…..easy does it. It’s misery isn’t correct. Unless you meantime it is misery, but I think you intended to use the word its. Then again, we aren’t getting paid so wtf.
March 10th, 2013 at 9:23 pm
#28 this is a free site that i visit daily, if you dont like it then leave. No one forces you to come and read this stuff. Who really gives two sh1ts about grammar and what they post as long as you can identify the main point of the article. This site always has up to date info on UK athletics and is very helpful. I for one am grateful so keep up the good work guys and gals.
March 10th, 2013 at 9:29 pm
By people like 30. Just because something is free doesn’t mean it should be full of errors. But since you don’t seem to mind, keep reading away your Dick and Jane books. Others prefer a higher caliber of reading….even if it is free.
March 10th, 2013 at 9:32 pm
Amen #30, people that have nothing better to do then criticize others are sad individuals
March 10th, 2013 at 9:36 pm
I’m sure you write flawless articles #31, contact someone and I’m sure they’ll post them….. And if you dislike the site so much, why are you reading the articles?
March 10th, 2013 at 9:40 pm
Instead of owning a mistake, attack the reader. Nice approach Nick. The comments have nothing to do with hating the site, but I just called you out for not reviewing your work before you post it. Simple enough. Own the results.
March 10th, 2013 at 9:49 pm
Just because it’s free for us doesn’t mean it is free for everyone. Why do you think these sponsors pay to be on the banners? You think they would appreciate people putting up shoddy work when they’re using their businesses money to pay for it? If it’s so OK, then why don’t you donate your money to them and see how quickly you care about the quality of work. 98% of the things on this site are fantastic, I love them. KSR is the best place to go to get UK news and stats and bachelor diaries. Don’t you think they want to fix the other 2%? It takes the people to show them how to make their product better.
March 10th, 2013 at 9:50 pm
#34 so it is alright for you to criticize Nicks work but it is not alright for him to criticize you? hypocracy at its finest. I swear if someone gave a person a million dollars they would complain about it. People need to get over themselves and realize that people make mistakes, it’s human nature. lol I don’t get it, I guess some people have nothing else to do except proofread every single word of a scentence.
March 10th, 2013 at 9:54 pm
#1 Your first conference title in 20 years and you’re trying to trash talk the team that just came off yet another national championship? Go storm some more courts.
March 10th, 2013 at 10:02 pm
makers mark has a loosiers commemorative bottle coming out. it’s called “’93″. designating the last time the candy stripers won the big 10, or whatever the hell it’s called now..
March 10th, 2013 at 10:44 pm
4:35 kills me every time!
March 10th, 2013 at 10:49 pm
#35 I would say that the sponsors care more about the number of people that visit this site than they do the grammar on it.
March 10th, 2013 at 11:19 pm
I am a huge UK Fan and college basketball fan. It has always been great to hate Bobby Knight at Indiana but i respect the old school coaching in him. I wish him the best and these clips are funny.
March 10th, 2013 at 11:25 pm
im a cats fan and i love bobby knight.
March 10th, 2013 at 11:56 pm
#1 – congrats, first title since 1993!!!!!!!!!
March 11th, 2013 at 12:07 am
Why would any parent let their kid be mentored by such a man? How did this guy ever get enough talent to win any games at all? Will not be missed!
March 11th, 2013 at 1:22 am
* Adds Nick Roush to list of KSR staff writers who need to pick a different career path.
March 11th, 2013 at 1:37 am
Indiana is known for 2 things…..the KKK and that sorry fuk name Bobby Knight
March 11th, 2013 at 3:31 am
Maybe Knight could land a spot on the new DIRECT TV commercials…you know, ‘the only thing worse than cable is …listening to replays of Bobby Knight on ESPN game ! ‘
March 11th, 2013 at 3:34 am
I think #19 says it best….in “morse code” ! LOL
March 11th, 2013 at 11:07 am
#7 It’s “fewer mistakes,” not “less mistakes.” Count nouns take “greater” or “fewer”; non-count nouns take “more” or “less.”
