anyone ever read the SI article "The Rabbit Hunter" about Knight? Great, great article that I read on my mission. Little tiny island in the middle of nowhere...some missionaries had left a few copies of SI from distant past.

I can't find it anywhere on the net (came out in the 80's). Lisa, do you know how I could get ahold of it?

I don't know but if you find it would you mind shooting it to me? I've always been an admirer of Bobby Knight despite that he's an asshole.

I love Bobby Knight. The guy is an asshole, but he's a leopard that doesn't try and hide his spots. And he's a hell of a coach. I enjoyed the ESPN series on the walk-on tryouts at Texas Tech.

His quote about wanting to be buried upside down so all of his critics can kiss his ass is classic.

I love library questions!

Currently a medical librarian but maybe I should go into sports librarianship.

That article is from 1981. Too old to be available digitally.

I sent you (Mike) the link for the book it's been published in.

I have pages 37 thru 48, through the "search inside this book" feature here:
http://www.amazon.com/gp/reader/1572...18#reader-link

And then clicking on surprise me. And clicking again. It starts on 29 and goes to about 50. But the system (surprise) has now cut me off from using the "surprise me" feature.

Someone who is at a university should find the issue in the magazine archives and scan it. That's the simplest method.

Like someone at BYU.

Yeah, that's your only hope. The full-text databases don't go back that far.

call number is:
GV 561 .S733

I would help but my medical library doesn't subscribe to SI.

If you're willing to spend a few bucks and wait a few days for delivery, you can probably find the book used on

I think you can get the book for about 4 bucks shipped. Used from amazon.
