That used to help us recruit hockey players.Yeah, I've been watching it too. I stumbled across if the first night it came on and have been watching it since. It’s a pretty cool idea and I’ve enjoyed what I’ve watched from it so far.Red Wing Fan wrote:Has anyone been watching that reality show on ESPN at 10:00 p.m. on Sunday nights? Bobby Knight is picking a player to be a walk on for his basketball team at Texas Tech. He was down to six tonight and the ones he has left look pretty good. Maybe D.D. could offer scholarships to some that he lets go.
I keep wondering who is actually going to come here next year. I mean, if you were good enough to play D 1 basketball and you were aware of the continuing exodus we have had the past four years from this program --- would you seriously consider coming here if anyone else at all wanted you???
Do the girls still outnumber the guys 3 to 1 on campus?
It was funny to see those walk-ons just stick it to the Texas Tech kids. Those Red Raider players should be embarrassed. Here you’ve got an intramural squad of kids who haven’t played together before, come out and get drilled by Bobby Knight, then in some cases outplay the Texas Tech scholarship players on their own court! I love how the coaches were like, “Now we’re going to throw them up against our scholarship players and show them what it’s really like playing against Big-12 competition and show them what it’s like to play at this level……and the walk-ons made them look silly at times. If I were the Texas Tech coaches, I’d be telling the production crew to give me that film and burn it so it never got shown on TV.Tricky_Falcon wrote:Yeah it just shows that Texas Tech hoops is at a sorry state when six walk-ons can come in and show you up...
This proves my point once again, even with the sarcasm included. I personally know two players who played for Bobby Knight and the stories that I hear are far from what you've seen in a made-for-television production. Those of you who really think this is a "reality" show have been......well......snowed under.Flipper wrote:Knight is just browbeating and manipulating those kids right into the ground. It's terrible......

He also said that the practices were hell. Most of the practices they did not even go over plays especially after a loss. They were pure sprint sessions and he would run them into the ground.

Maybe that's why our team practices 3 hours hard at the end of the year - when other schools taper off on hard practices when they get into the season and are playing two and three games a week. Even Duke only goes an hour late in the season. If they have hard practices after a loss, our poor kids are probably still worn out from this season!!!!!!!!
