It would be perfect if they got some of the 'comb-over' blowing in the wind! I tried to find a pic of Keady with the windblown look but there's not anything out there. Some of you Krush members might have to photoshop some wayward locks onto Keady's head to get the full effect!

Photoshop heck - get some fake hair and attach it :-)

+10000000..the DIA needs to do something with the empty gray seats in A section. It looks terrible on TV and can't help our recruiting when recruits are watching the game and see the best seats in the house not taken

They could get the big head, then attach some fake hair and then get a fan to blow it during the Purdue FT attempts!

That would be EPIC!

Man, I've put way too much thought into that...time for bed

You know there's an engineer somewhere on campus who could make that happen between now and game time.

Hell, they could build the fan into the big head.

Hands down, one of the funniest locker room rants of all time.

Somebody PLEASE photoshop a picture of Gene Keady with Ernie McKracken's hair from Kingpin.

Hold that up behind the basket and the free throw shooter may very well airball the shot while laughing hysterically.

Just listened to it on Youtube, I hadn't heard of it until I saw it mentioned here. It's great! I've always loved Bob Knight's intensity and no BS approach. I always happened to stumble upon a page of IU basketball quotes that I thought were pretty funny, one of the best ones..."The reason a lot of people are Purdue fans? Because they can't afford Final Four tickets" hahah

classof2016 · Feb 12, 2013, 08:26 AM

We should definitely get a grumpy cat big head hahahahaa

classof2016 · Feb 12, 2013, 08:26 AM

Or Mike Ditka

troyk · Feb 12, 2013, 08:29 AM

One of the few times I've admired Bobby Knight was his Purdue halftime speech. Quality stuff.

But yes, his quote is very applicable here. "I'm sick and &#*@ing tired of losing to Purdue". That should be Groce's gameplan on Wednesday. Just keep saying that over and over again.

Leonardite · Feb 12, 2013, 08:56 AM

They should 'Paint the Hall Orange' for this game.

Awesome. My friends and I listened to this and were quoting it all weekend while in Minny. One of the funnier clips related to Knight out there....along with the golf outtakes.

RecLeagueHero · Feb 12, 2013, 09:27 AM

Saw some good cardboard heads at The Barn, including Mr. T, Dwight Schrute, and Hugh Hefner (in captains hat).

chiefcub69 · Feb 12, 2013, 11:17 AM

Clint Eastwood was a good one too

I just don't get it.. I know they are corporate or rich people who could care less since they typically are snoozing during the games but how can they be so arrogant to not know there should be people sitting in those seats. If they are not occupied by game time open them to whomever in C sections wants to sit there.. It is absolutely inexcusable to see those seats. They should be forced to turn the tickets back in if they are not going to be there.. plain and simple..

Anyone watch the Georgetown/Marquette game they had the same problem with empty grey seats stuck out like a sore thumb and they are a top 20 program..

So the halftime graphic for Tim Doyle says All Big10, 2007. I looked it up: honorable mention coaches & media. That's a huge stretch, right?

The Illini wrap up a stretch of three games in seven games, hosting Purdue on Wednesday night.

Proof reading is a lost art.

I say we win if we score 70, in the 60s a toss up, lose if in the 50s.

Like for instance, violating your own rules when investigating a school (Miami) for possibly violating your rules?

I just scored two A seats behind the Illini band...so someone IS turning them in...they also had B seats available tuesday afternoon. (at fightingillini.com)

It boggles my mind the DIA has not come up with a solution to this simple problem. Definition of embarrassing
