This is why I can’t stand Bob Knight. He’s the epitome of what’s wrong with universities placing too much emphasis, and giving too much power to collegiate athletics.
WARNING! This is NSFW [Not Safe For Work]. You kinda like learning a new acronym, don’t cha?
That said… the video is kinda funny.

What is this? ‘Create-a-quote Day?’ Adam’s trying to get me back into a collegiate battl of whits… and I’m about to fall right into it.
I love collegiate athletics… winning teams make winning universities. Your new President even agrees that. However, giving a certain coach or a certain program too much control means that you risk losing control alltogether. When a major collegiate football team starts to lose, prospective students lose interest. If you don’t believe me, talk to any Admissions Counselor who worked at State when Eli was at Ole Miss winning, and Sherrill was at State missing chip-shot fieldgoals with Sherrill. Or, go back in to when State went to the NCAA Final Four and ask any Ole Miss Admissions Counselor how prospective students “changed their minds” at the last minute, ending up at State.
Collegiate athletics have to be dealt with much like the plutonium in Back to the Future. Respect and admire it’s power – but make sure that it is placed into the hands on responsible, trusted individual.
Bob Knight is a prime example of what happens when people in collegiate athletics say, “F*** the plutonium… I’m in charge.”
….but again, this clip is pretty funny.

Landon: No one cusses in front of me more than you; therefore, you hold a most special place in my heart.
Travis: I had reached purgatory within 30 seconds of that clip.
