Okay, thanks. Yes, my reference was about Tom on the other thread getting all worked up about it..
And Knight does know his stuff and I also find his commentary enlightening/educational as well.

McL & W, couldn’t agree more. Anyone who takes this stuff about colors seriously has the same stupid/lame thinking gangsters do about their colors – although without the dire consequences.

BK is an ass clown but an entertaining one. He knows his hoops. I find his commentary pretty good and, at times, enlightening/educational.

McLovin, the red shirt he was wearing wasn’t intentional, but Cal fans gave him grief for it during gameday. He was wearing a different colored sweater over the red shirt in the morning. For the actual game, I’m pretty sure he purposely changed sweaters and wore the red one on top of the red shirt he wore in the morning just to mess with the fans.

That said, Tom (in the other thread), I think you’re taking it too seriously. I loved the fact that he did that…it was a lot of fun yelling at him and having him play to the crowd. That’s his personality. There are a number of reasons to hate Bobby Knight (chair throwing, student choking, etc.), but this isn’t one of them. I feel like we shouldn’t take everything to seriously, but rather, have some fun with it.

Please tell me that you aren’t suggesting that Knight intentionally wore Stanford colors to Haas with the sole intention of trying to show up Cal. That is really reaching and kinda pathetic. I don’t think I have EVER seen him NOT wear that lame red sweater.

Just wondering, what is the big deal with Knight wearing a red sweater? Isn’t that his trademark outfit from his days at Indiana?

I hope this makes ESPN think a little bit harder about another trip out to Berkeley for the Cal USC game. That would be amazing if they did that game. I would be there no doubt. Walk if I had to.

[...] College Gameday is at Haas Pavilion for tonights game between Cal and UCLA. Jay Bilas is impressed by Cal; ” I didn’t know they’d be quite that good.” Joe Lunardi, ESPN, has updated his NCAA tournament projections today and has Cal#6 in the South Region. [...]

The Cal students and fans showed up in force and it was impressive. Great work on the signs.
Way to go Bear fans. Outstanding work, looked like a lot of fun.
Beat the bruins tonight.
Go Bears!

I am glad to read that you can’t stand Knight either. I’m totally against Knight taking another coaching job just so he can inflate his # of wins (at the expense of the poor kids who have to endure his abuse). But, actually, it WOULD get him off the air. So maybe some stupid AD will save us (in spite of himself).

Rece Davis calls the Cal crowd “one of the best we’ve ever had for Gameday.”

Excellent.

I hope it’s just as loud for tonight’s game.

Go Bears!
