How to Handle The Media

Speaking of guy love, how about that Bobby Knight. After his Texas Tech Red Raiders upset the #5 University of Kansas Jayhawks the fans stormed the court. Knight tried unsuccessfully to hold them back, clearly upset that they had collectively chosen such an undisciplined course of action:

As they did two years ago, the fans stormed the court and chanted "Bob-by! Bob-by!" after Knight left the court. "I couldn't believe all those fans coming on the floor until I realized we broke the record again," Knight deadpanned about getting win No. 883 against the Jayhawks.

After reading that, I about hit the floor as well. Then, when asked whether this win will carry over to his team's next game against Texas A&M:
"You never know that," Knight said. "You'd like to do that but you're not dealing with robots that you press buttons. You're dealing with kids."

And the always classic:
Texas Tech reserve forward Darryl Dora was averaging 5.2 points before erupting for 19 in Saturday’s win over the Jayhawks. Asked why Dora doesn’t perform like that more consistently, Texas Tech coach Bob Knight said: “Maybe the moon wasn’t right. How the hell would I know? If I knew that I wouldn’t be talking to you people.

Why isn't Bobby Knight the White House Press Secretary? I think we would all be a little better off.
