We Own the College Web Scene

Nina Mandell did a fantastic job in her follow-up story on knighttocats.com for Sports Illustrated On Campus.  She has been one of our biggest fans and we're grateful for it! 

Just to clarify a few things.  Seth has been on Facebook since about the 7th grade.  I was the one who entered 2004 by joining.  So far I have done a miserable job of getting friends.  Also, we in no way meant to insult the great Kelly Amonte Hiller.  Trust us, we never would want to anger the greatest coach in NU history.

Our Time is Now

 Needless to say "Our Time is Now."  Almost a year after we started the grassroots phenomenon knighttocats.com, we are closer than ever to getting the hallowed Coach Knight to wearing purple.  

We firmly believe that Coach Knight's decision to step down from the head coaching position at Texas Tech is not the end of his career.  We have always believed he'd return to his Big Ten roots.  We have always stressed Coach Knight's commitment to graduating well-schooled young men.  

The time could never be better.  With our beloved Cats facing down a winless (and expanded, no less) Big Ten schedule, with recruiting at an all-time low for Carmody, with attendance at Welsh-Ryan consisting of a smattering of adolescent boys and senior citizens, there has never been a more urgent time for something drastic.  

We have endured a lot over the past year.  People have persecuted us for our outrageous belief that NU basketball could be something, anything.  "Strive for mediocrity!" we cried.  "Never, never, never!" shouted the doubters.  We received mail from across this fair land.  Those in Lubbock threatened our safety if we ever traversed to the Lonestar State.  Some in Evanston called us idiots, morons, fools, and idol worshippers.  But we marched on. 

Now, some Baloney Pony at the Indianapolis News and Tribune has stolen our idea.  Mike Hutsell claims "Bobby Knight's next stop already makes sense."  Gee, I wonder where he got this brilliant idea. 

When Bobby comes to our grand University and leads us to the promised land, all we ask in return for starting the movement is a high-paying assistant coaching position.

The National Media steals our ideas!

As we here at KTC have been gearing up our pitch following a shocking Knight resignation, word comes from our sources that our idea has been poached by a national media figure.  This is nothing less than a travesty. 

While we are happy that the message is getting out there to the people, how about a little credit Mike? 

We can forgive, as you are clearly just a big fan, but our feelings are hurt nonetheless.  Hopefully we can meet up to discuss this, just not in Indiana, we don't go there.

Coach we still want you

Coach, we saw your game last night, and we know its tough to lose like that.  I don't know about you, but I am pretty sure that Boston College cheated. 

We just wanted you to know that we still want you here in Evanston.  While at Texas Tech a first round loss my be dissapointing, at Northwestern it would be the best showing we ever had.

So come to Northwestern, the home of diminished expectations (except Women's Lacrosse we rule at that).
