Let’s hope the Colts last longer after winning the Super Bowl than Barbaro did after winning the Kentucky Derby. I would hate to see this team implode after a few agents decide a Super Bowl Ring suddenly entitles their clients to new contracts. (See the ’90’s Dallas Cowboys for more info)

Dick Vitale continues to lobby for Indiana University to name the basketball arena after former coach Bob Knight. It’s bad enough when he’s calling an IU game, but I’m sick of hearing it during ACC, SEC, Big 12 and other games Dick calls. Dick, a university is NOT going to honor a guy that just sued it. I don’t care how many games or championships he has won. Get over it.

I’m sure when Knight retires there will eventually be some sort of recognition of his accomplishments. Until then, let it go, Vitale.

Trivia Question: I don’t know the answer to this, I just want to know if someone else does… Indiana has 3 former head coaches in the Basketball Hall of Fame: Everett Dean, Branch McCracken, and Bob Knight. Does any other school have 3 or more coaches?

Carry on, Citizens!
