Congratulations to Coach Bob Knight and the Texas Tech Red Raiders, on securing win number 880 for Coach Knight. The New Mexico Lobos, in spite of coming back from a 20-point defecit, came up short, and Tech prevailed, 70-68. This puts the greatest college coach ever to tread the hardwoods alone at the top of the heap, with the most coaching victories in Division I basketball.

To his credit, the Coach said in the post-game interview, I’ll paraphrase as best I can:

I’m glad this thing is over. This record belongs to any kid who’s ever worn a uniform at any school I’ve coached. It’s their record, not mine.

Amen, and Congratulations.

Now, back to the pigskin marathon. After I wipe away a few tears of joy.
