Bob Knight Options

[Mommy]

how does bob knight have a big head?

i second the bob knight freeway name

umm... he thinks he can have any type of attitude that he wants and get away with it because he is the almight great Bob Knight who hasnt done shit for our school. well, i take that back, when i tell someone where i go to school now they say "oh isnt that where Bobby Knight coaches?" instead of saying "uhh never heard of it". BIG FUCKING WHOOP. People here worship him like he is a god...and why I will never know because as stated before HE HASNT DONE SHIT FOR TEXAS TECH.

Before I start out, let me qualify my post by saying that I am not one who thinks that Bob Knight can do no wrong. People like those exist but I am not one of them. Hell, I guess you could call me a member of the media so, in all likelihood, Knight hates my guts. But, Jessica, for you to claim that Bob Knight "HASNT [sic] DONE SHIT FOR TEXAS TECH" is completely false and I think you know it.

Indeed, it seems as if Knight - and this isn't a contest nor something I think coaches are obligated to do - has done more for the general student population of Texas Tech than Mike Leach, Marsha Sharp, Larry Hays or anyone else. Sharp has donated a considerable amount of money over her career to the university but those funds were predominately earmarked and used for the academic support of student-athletes.

When Knight first arrived at Texas Tech in 2001, he set-up the Bob Knight Library Fund with a donation of $25,000. In the years since, donations to the fund from contributors across the United States have nearly reached $200,000. He hasn't stopped donating either. The Knights have continued to do donate money as well as books (700+) from their personal libraries. Last May, for example, they donated $45,000 to the Texas Tech Libraries.

You are naive if you think that the publicity Knight provides doesn't help the university. How many, do you think, of those who contributed to the fund would have done so if Knight's name wasn't attached to it?

Furthermore, Jessica, how many books have you donated to the library? How much have you donated to the university?

when i said that he hasnt done shit for Texas Tech... I meant as far as our basketball team is concerned. he is supposed to be some big bad ass coach and well... yeah, seems to me like he fucking blows.

as far as donating to Texas Tech... you are right. I havent donated shit, but I also feel that I didnt get my 30,000 dollars worth. The education sucked (and before you start talking shit about philosophy... i had 4 majors before that and i left the dept because of the poor excuse for an education). I dont feel that I need to give this shitty excuse for a school anymore of my fucking money, but dont think that I dont donate money to causes I believe in. I donate money to the Red Cross all the time.

might as well stop arguing with me because my opinion of that stupid ass Bobby Knight isnt going to change.
