Bob Knight

I can't stand him as a coach, but Bob Knight really is a fantastic analyst. A bit of an awkward talker and looks miserable on the screen, but he has plenty of intelligent things to add to the conversation.

Knight made a very astute comment about Harangody getting healthy and how he was still under the weather against OSU. Digger's obvious response was that he finished with 25 and 16 and mentioned McAlarney's poor shooting percentage. If Phelps had watched the game (and I love the guy for his connection to ND, but he clearly had a knowledge of Saturday's contest that was limited to the box score), he would have understood that Ohio State let Harangody bang around down low all night while shadowing Mac with full energy. Knight's response to Digger was "Notre Dame will be a completely different team with him healthy." I certainly agree, and it will be nice to see Gody playing to his full ability.

The Man With the Golden Gun

Never go quail hunting in Texas.

Less than two years after Dick Cheney showed his powers of friendship, Bobby Knight proved his inability to shoot anything other than basketballs.

Neither of the two people who claimed to be shot by Knight's (or his companion's) shotgun were injured by the pellets that struck them from 250 feet.

This comes eight years after Coach Knight shot his friend in the shoulder and back while hunting in Wisconsin.

I'm no hunting expert, but I'm pretty sure this kind of stuff isn't meant to happen.

Eastern Michigan Saturday. Enjoy the last day of November '07 tomorrow.
