I think that the Univ of Minn used to have a chair throwing contest on the anniversary of this game.

So who did Woody punch, and where is he now?

Another one I have no idea of - Who was the last NFL player who came up under Woody? I'm thinking it was Tomzak (sp?), any ideas?

Wow...all those years ago we got that great old (I do mean old) joke. Bobby Knight is selling furniture, buy a couch and he'll throw in a chair.

..as a Kentucky "Wildcat" Basketball Fan, we're well acquainted with BOBBY KNIGHT...We (for the most part :) respected him. ...we had a good "love/hate" relationship w/ him.

I know he has won about everything to win except the NBA..but knight is a loony tune..I would no more let my son play for his team than I would let him play for bin laden..knight is never wrong..if the season is going wrong..it is some players fault..he has even sent players home with the cheerleaders..(which isn't bad..if u ask me..but insulting to the players psyche)..I remember in 1980 during the final four..Indiana, coached by looney tunes, had defeated LSU..an LSU fan walked past the insane one and said merely, "Congratulations coach on winning"..the disturbed one said.."I guess we weren't tiger bait" which the fan said that wasn't right..the oh so brave one grabbed the accountant around the neck and bravely thrashed him around..sadly..when the authorities were called..the accountant did not press charges against psycho man..looney tunes was proud of what he did..Wow..do you think fruit cake would have done that with another LSU alumni named Shaq???????

I'll never forget his antics in the Final Four against my beloved LSU Tigers. He slammed the phone on the scorers table with about 7 minutes left in the game. Indiana got EVERY CALL for the remainder of the game and the refs swallowed the whistle at our offensive end. It was the most INFURIATING thing I've ever seen.

Wally Pipp:
Lou Gehrig's consecutive game streak began when the Yankees' regular first baseman, Wally Pipp, sat out a game with a headache. (Probably an urban legend.)

Mookie Wilson:
Hit the ball that Bill Buckner booted in Game 6 of the 1986 World Series.

Al Downing:
Downing threw the pitch that Hank Aaron hit out of the park to record his 715th home run, breaking Babe Ruth's record.
