While we are all still recovering from our Super Bowl hangovers, which is why the Super Bowl should be moved to Saturdays , it’s being reported this week that Bobby Knight is interested in the men’s basketball coaching vacancy at Georgia.
And it would be good for the game to have the winningest men’s college basketball coach in history with 902 victories back on the sidelines, especially for a major SEC school like Georgia.

ventaboutsports.blogspot.com 2/3/2009 — In the wake of Kobe Bryant's 61-point performance against the Knicks, which included him going 20-20 from the free throw line, it got me wondering what the record for the most consecutive free throws in one game were. I knew he couldn't be far off ...
