RIP Bobby Knight

Well, shit. Great minds, etc.

 

Look up the definition of genius, genius.

very great and rare natural ability or skill, especially in a particular area

Special emphasis on “in a particular area.”

 

I remember reading about this years ago. The time Knight tried to bully the IU wrestling coach.

 

The lower the weight class, the crazier the wrestler. Jim Jordan was a 134-pounder, for reference.

My dad, who is mildly schizophrenic, wrestled 98 pounds.

“Will bite off your ankles” comes to mind.

 

There’s a great double feature to watch with the Winnebago Man video.

 

You're a passive-aggressive little twat on these forums, aren't you. Take your grief out on someone else.

 

Good idea. We’ve suffered enough reading each other. At least I know I have.Have a good one.

I’ve almost gotten all the assholes off my feed. I just need to stop hitting the button that lets me see them.

 

I loved Doug Blubaugh. I used to go to his Top of the World Wrestling Camp in the summers when I was in middle school and high school. It was basically a barn on top of a hill (hence the name) with a wrestling room. He kept his gold medal in there and I was mesmerized by it. He was an incredibly kind and funny man, and so that story of him putting Knight in his place has always made me smile.

 

Oh, no, not the ignore button. I am mortally wounded. You were barely coherent to begin with.

 

Five minutes ago:

“Why did you make a face like that?”

“I’m arguing with a person named Three Octave Fart on the internet about Bobby Knight.”

“Well, maybe you could go stop your son from writing all over his face with a marker.”
