Texas Tech Red Raiders to give Bobby Knight 901st?

seth-edward-oneal.jpgBecause that's probably the only thing they can play for at this point.

In case you don't know it yet, the 2007-08 NCAA college basketball season is finally underway and the Texas Tech Red Raiders are sitting at the bottom five of the Big 12 conference.

Sure, it's still early into the season and these Red Raiders still have a decent shot of mixing it up with the best of them in this year's March Madness bracket tournament but before they start looking into that, they better start winning now.

The last time the Texas Tech Red Raiders were on the hardwood, they did just that. They beat the Texas A&M Aggies, 68-53, to give Texas Tech head coach Bobby Knight his 900th win of his career.

Sure, the Texas A&M Aggies never really had a chance on this one, getting their asses outscored 32-17 in the first half before the Red Raiders simply finished them off at the United Spirit Arena in Texas. But hey, it's still the 900th win for Bobby Knight and I reckon, he'll be going for 901 on Saturday against the Oklahoma Sooners.

The Oklahoma Sooners, despite their greatness, if you will, in football, just can't play hoops. They are the worst team in the Big 12 and it definitely looks like they will just roll over for Texas Tech.

Bobby Knight probably could care less about 900, 901 or 902 wins but deep down inside, he knows he won't have a hard time scoring 901st on Saturday against this pathetic Sooners basketball team.

''This thing never entered my mind,'' Bobby Knight said of his 900th win. ''I could care less about this. I'm just happy to get it over with.''

''I'm happy that I've been able to coach this long 'cause I've basically enjoyed coaching probably 70-30, anyhow,'' he said. ''That's a mark of longevity as much as anything so I'm just glad I've lived this long.''
