"The General" Makes me Laugh

I was watching some Top 10 Countdown Show on Fox Sports Net the other night. They did a montage of great Bob Knight sound bites from over the years. I had forgotten about this "poem" he read to a packed arena on Senior Night at IU several years ago:

When my time on earth is gone
and my activities here are passed,
I would that they bury me upside down
so my critics can kiss my ass.

You have to read that slowly, seriously, and in Bob Knight sarcastic speak in order to get the real effect.

Have to admit, it made me laugh. Something about this guy I have always liked despite the troubling side of him.
