Bob Knight and Texas Tech

Bob Knight was uncertain if he should take the Texas Tech job so he decided to consult with God. "God", the coach said, "Should I take the Texas Tech job?" 
God replied, "No". 
Bob then asked, "Well God if I don't take the Texas Tech job what am I going to do." 
God replied, "Bob, I knew this day would come before you were even born, so I created a world specifically for you." 
Bob,excitedly asks God, "Well, what world have you given me to me." 
"Why the planet Uranus or course!", replied God.

HS Basketball Recruit

A highly recruited high school basketball player was visiting Big Ten schools to try to find the best college for him. His first stop was at Bloomington. When he got there, head coach Bobby Knight immediately picked up a golden telephone. After talking several minutes, he said, "Thank you, God" and hung up. The young man was shocked by all this.He asked the coach what was so special about the golden phone. "Well, this phone is a direct line to God. And God tells us whether or not new recruits would be stars at our university." The athlete asked if he could use the phone to ask God what college he should pick. "Sure, you can! But it's going to cost you $250. Calling Heaven ain't cheap. The fellow didn't have that kind of money, so he moved along. 

His next stop was Ann Arbor. Once at Brian Ellerbe's office, Coach Ellerbe immediately picked up a golden telephone. After talking several minutes, he said, "Thank you, God" and hung up. The boy said, "Hey, I've seen those phones before. Can I use yours to call God and ask what college I should pick?" Ellerbe said, "Sure, but it's going to cost you $150. Calling Heaven isn't cheap." Again, not having that kind of money, the lad left. 

His last stop was West Lafayette. Upon arrival at Gene Keady's office, Coach Keady picked up a golden telephone, talked to God, and said, "Thanks," and hung up. The boy just had to use that phone, so he said,"Coach, I really need to use that golden telephone so I can call God and ask him which college I should choose. From IU it was going to cost 250. From Michigan they wanted $150. So how much will it cost me to call Heaven from here at Purdue?" Coach Keady smiled and said, "Nothing, son. It's a local call."

3 friends all wanted to go to the same college ...

One of them said," I.U."
The next guy said," Let's go to Notre Dame."
The last guy said," Let's go to Purdue."
To decide between themselves they all decided to give reasons.
The I.U. guy went first. He said," At I.U. they teach you good education skills."
The Notre Dame guy was next. He said," At Notre Dame they teach you great athletic skills."
Finally it was the Purdue guy's turn. He said," We really need to go to Purdue, because there they teach you to tell the truth."

A Farmer in Indiana

A farmer was working his cattle one day when he heard faint music coming from nearby. After hunting about for a time, he discovered the sound was loudest near one particular calf, and was even louder near the calf's tail. Putting his head close to the calf's hind end, he heard the Indiana University fight song.

Amazed, he put the calf in the truck and drove the animal to a veterinarian in Indianapolis. When the vet asked him what was going on, the farmer told him. The vet went around behind the calf and gave a listen too. He agreed he heard the Indiana fight song but didn't seem particularly excited.

"Man, how can you stand there and not be amazed?" the farmer asked.

The vet, a third generation Purdue University graduate, said, "Bud, I'm a Purdue fan, and I've been listening to assholes sing that song all of my life."

In Honor of IU Hate Week

An Boilermaker alum, a Hoosier alum and a Notre Dame alum were all in Saudi Arabia, sharing a smuggled crate of booze. All of a sudden Saudi police rushed in and arrested them. The mere possession of alcohol is a severe offense in Saudi Arabia, so for the terrible crime of actually being caught consuming the booze, they were sentenced to death! 

However, after many months and with the help of very good lawyers, they were able to successfully appeal their sentence down to life imprisonment. 

By a stroke of luck, it was a Saudi national holiday the day their trial finished, and the extremely benevolent Sheik decided they could be released after receiving just 20 lashes each of the whip. 

As they were preparing for their punishment, the Sheik suddenly said, "It's my first wife's birthday today, and she has asked me to allow each of you one wish before your whipping." 

The Hoosier alum was first in line (he had drunk the least), so he thought about this for a while and then said, "Please tie a pillow to my back." This was done, but the pillow only lasted 10 lashes before the whip went through. The Hoosier alum had to be carried away bleeding and crying with pain when the punishment was done. 

The Notre Dame alum was next up (he almost finished an entire fifth by himself), and after watching the scene, said "All Right! Please fix two pillows on my back." But even two pillows could only take 15 lashes before the whip went through again, sending the Notre Dame Alum out crying like a little girl. 

The Boilermaker Alum was the last one up (he had finished off the crate), but before he could say anything, the Sheik turned to him and said, "You support the greatest team in the world, your supporters are some of the best and most loyal football fans in the world. For this, you may have two wishes!" 

"Thanks, your most Royal Highness," the Boilermaker Alum replies. "In recognition of your kindness, my first wish is that you give me not 20, but 100 lashes." 

"Not only are you an honorable, handsome and powerful man, you are also very brave," the Sheik says with an admiring look on his face. "If 100 lashes is what you desire, then so be it. And your second wish? What is it to be?" the Sheik asks. 

"Tie the Notre Dame Alum to my back." 

HAIL Purdue!
