Guest abovetherim Posted February 4, 2008 Report Share Posted February 4, 2008 Dang it! I was hopeful of Bobby Knight coaching next year as the Red Raiders visit the Montagne Center. Now, the game will not have near the interest. Well he was a great coach, future basketball HOF member but man did the guy have some issues.

Guest mffl Posted February 4, 2008 Report Share Posted February 4, 2008 He was quiet, boring, and reserved whenever we played at Tech, even though the game came down to the final seconds. Its still Texas Tech, a Big XII team coming to the Montagne. And we will still have Knight that everybody can watch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now, the game will not have near the interest. Well he was a great coach, future basketball HOF member but man did the guy have some issues. He resigned because he feared the trip to Beaumont next year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They fear the Cards. ;D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
