If this crew is not announcing on Thursday, I'm not watching.

Moot point, dammit! The ball didn't feel like it had been shot, so the whole sequence is rendered inert.

In this case we were concerned that he had lifted his inbounds leg, but the ref had had a hip replacement so the play was considered artificial. Matter cannot be created or destroyed, therefore it was their ball. No, wait. Our ball.

Undeniable. The key to the whole thing.
 


The ball hit the rim, but I don't know that he was shooting...
 

LOL

No wonder Knight got so many technicals and resorted to throwing chairs. He doesn't know the rules. That was frickin' exhausting!! Between the announcers and the refs you couldn't be mad at the Gophers for messing up...you had no choice but
feel bad for them. Yet, somehow they won. Lost in all of it: the Florida State coach is clueless. He's given the game in nine different ways and still can't win. One of 90 different ways he could have benefited...post up your monster big sitting on the bench the entire second half and who is going to defend him????

We won!!!!
 




I want to be there if Sid ever interviews Bobby Knight again. Good chance Sid would seem like the lucid one.
 

Frick-Frack and Fraschilla sounds more descriptive.

The Refs should have cautioned Mo of his rights against self-incrimination and then sworn him to testify as to his intent with the ball at that moment. It wouldn't have taken any longer.
 

I used to like Knight, but tonight was inane ramblings of a senile old man. It really was like his close personal friend Sid was on the game. And John Saunders should be ashamed to have been associated with that abortion.

And for being on the show, Bobby, here's a certificate for a silvery butter knife steak.

Sid, are you sure you can even call it a knife if it's made out of butter?

No, Bobby, it's the really big slab of meat. They just call it that because the knife is silver ... I think. We've been there before. It's in downtown Minneapolis. With George and Bud and the guy with the lisp.

Oh, ya, you let it drip all over your tie. Say, that reminds me. You know, if I had a 3 point lead with about 15 seconds left and the other player missed a free throw, I'd foul them right away.

That's why you're a coaching legend, Bobby.

Another thing I sort of remember doing, Sid, is having my player throw the ball up really high. It would take about seven or eight seconds to come down. Won a national championship that way. The player who threw it up that high was Keith Smart.

Wow, I'd like to see that. Let's go over to the University and you can show me how it's done in the new football practice facility. Pretty sure they've got it built by now. Really nice. Heard someone said it cost 90 million dollars.

I don't know, Sid. I'm not sure I could throw it that high anymore. Been a long time since I threw anything. I won a national title, you know. Always had 3 guys play along the baseline against a zone. Other coach told me I was the only one who did it.

You got screwed because you threw that chair, Bobby. I'll call Bud. He'd love to do it since he's also a close personal friend and he's in pretty good shape. His kid is a great coach at Edina, you know. Then we'll go to Murray's and have one of those silvery butter knife steaks. Don't know how I'm going to cut it though if the knife is made out of butter.

Speaking of knives, Sid, what in the hell is going on there with all of those stabbings I've been hearing about?
 

Did anyone notice that Knight couldn't even read the monitor.. his old man eyes kept mixing up the numbers 6 and 8. Sheesh.

I get it, you don't like ball screens..
 

my favorite part was the story about how Bob Knight was recruiting Mike Kzalphabet and Mike's parents spoke polish and Bob was the only guy in the world smart enough to see the genius in Mike that early and this whole story takes about 4 minutes of game time and unless you were really paying attention and keeping score at home, there was no way of knowing that Joey King and Mo Walker both had committed their 4th fouls and the momentum had completely shifted in the game. But then again, the last thing those three guys were worried about was the game itself.
Hopefully Bob's last game ever, so let him ramble on his way out I guess.

The announcing was so bad last night that the UN immediately banned the audio tape from use as a torture device.
Texas and Arizona immediately started using the audio tape to get confessions from all suspects in custody.

I was pulling my hair out during this "yarn". Even more after Knight commented that the Gophers couldn't get anything going inside when Walker and King were on the bench with 4 fouls (plus EE being out). Sheesh
 

Would I trade not having to sit through that torture and lose out on the brilliance of this thread? Never.

i thought John Saunders has enough train wreck moments of his own, so to put him with Bob was a bad idea. The guy I always thought was ok was Frischilla and he was rendered speechless a couple of times and that was the best option, so it worked out. Bob Knight " i think that is why you have timeouts............................................................................................................................................................................................................................................to use them" Frischilla " yup"
 

I don't know about you guys, but I love when the announcer tries to predict if a free throw is going in or not while it's in the air. Not annoying at all!

Yeah, it was like listening to "those guys behind you at a game". They have some knowledge of basketball, but they are not smooth or polished. You sit there trying to focus on the game, but your curiosity gets the best of you and you find yourself listening to everything they say - even though it's painfully annoying.
 



I really liked listening to Knight when he first joined ESPN. Bummer he sucks now. Luckily I had the sound off last night.

And what happened to John Saunders? Now he's doing NIT games

Good stuff. With my new seats I had one of those guys sitting behind me this year. As much as I tried, I could not tune the guy out. Can't count the number of times I wanted to turn around and tell him to shut the h*ll up. This is the same guy that couldn't name the two teams coming into the Big Ten next season. Couldn't help myself on that one, I turned around and corrected him.
