OT: Bob Knight's Funeral Arrangements

[Ripcord280]

I do not plan on attending the funeral (he reminded me too much of my junior high social studies teacher and the concommittant emotional scars), so U was wondering, does anybody know they will be complying with his last request? I can't recall it verbatim, but something about body position and an inscription on his headstone.

My curiousity is getting to me. Somebody who is in the know, please inform the rest of us. Inquiring minds want to know.

The tombstone will obviously be a bench (chair)

I had a great friend who died young of Huntingtons Disease. He had a saying that he’d break out at bars for lovely young ladies he met: “As long as I have a face, you’ve got a place to sit”. (I never saw him get slapped). His headstone is a bench.

Ol' Doodle has it on good authority that he will indeed be buried upside down....or right side up. With him, no one can really tell the difference.

I would have taken him over any coach we have had in the past fifty years, period.

When my time on Earth is gone
And my activities here are passed
I want they bury me upside down
And my critics can kiss my ass.

RIP Coach

Need to do one where you can turn a wheel above ground and spin him around.

Dude was a world class ass to the Press. And you think Kirk is bad in that regard.

Game face! Some of his best work.

Idiots in the media got it good from the general. Good on him

Is that his game face, or the face he would make if he was getting raped and decided to just relax and enjoy it?
