The People Have Spoken!

A real movement is a foot by the lake, and people are talking.  From today's Chicago Sun Times:

GENERAL NEEDS: Cats fans petition Knight move Desperate times apparently call for desperate measures.

Although the Northwestern basketball program probably evokes more exasperation than desperation.

Whatever the case, for those seeking a coaching change, there is an Internet site—Knighttocats.com—that has a petition to sign in an effort to replace Bill Carmody with a familiar face to Big Ten fans: Texas Tech's Bob Knight, the former Indiana coach.

It is clear that we are at the start of something big.  A journey that will only end with the arrival of Bobby Knight in Evanston. 

This mention in the paper has the people united, and signing the petition.

I am fed up with the lack of commitment from the athletic department. This is one bad era we are going through. The team is BAD in all aspect of the game and it is only going to get worse. It is time to stop using SAT scores as an excuse. Air Force has very high standards and the recruit must commit 4-5 years to the military, yet they find players and win 20+ games a year. I long for the days of Bill Foster. Please, please fire Bill Carmody! 

and Jerry says:

I'm tired of hoping to finish .500 in the Big Ten!    If Carmody is back next year I won't be!

Please go sign the petition and tell us how you feel.
