Bobby Knight As Ryder Cup Captain
Finally, a good suggestion for helping the US win the Ryder Cup - having Bobby Knight as the captain.
Bob Knight is only one outburst at Texas Tech away from being available also. Now wouldn't it be worth the price of admission to see him captain the U.S. team in the Ryder Cup? Can you imagine Chris Riley telling the General he's too tired to play in the afternoon alternate-shot competition - where you only have to hit every other shot, by the way? How about if one of the Americans asks for a free drop and the ruling goes against him? Wouldn't the sight of a chair skidding across the 14th fairway be inspiring? Or how about Coach Knight grabbing Phil Mickelson by the collar and screaming, "Put the ball in the freaking fairway, Phil?"
