Do you think the contestants on Bobby Knight's "Knight School" are wasting their time just to be a 12th man?

As long as it makes them happy, its ok.  If they continue to push themselves and improve there is also the chance that they can be more than the 7th benchwarmer down.\n\nAt St. Johns University in Minnesota, the football coach wont cut anyone so their team is frequently over 100 people. (They are also one of the best DIII schools in football)  If you are the 100th on the depth chart, why bother?  It is frequently an effort to be a part of a team, and maybe oneday they will have their "Rudy" moment.

I don't think so.  Having fun is way more important than winning.  Kids will have their whole adult lives to be focused and serious.  Why hurry that along?

It really depends on the reason why. If they were doing something else like school no. However, if they were sponging off of some one else it is pretty lazy. \n\nGood LUCK!

No. Parents enter their kids in these things for themselves. When you throw your child into a competition based on looks, what are you teaching them?\nI was at a kids acting audition recently, and some of the parents were downright embarrassing. You could tell a lot of the kids didn't want to be there and the parents were living through them....expecting the glory. It's sad and too much pressure for a child. How about we focus on them being competative with their grades at school instead of trying to be prettier than the next girl?\nOn the other hand, there are some pageants that don't exploit the kids and actually encourage good scholarship, so I can't speak for all.

Hell yeah.\n\nMasters of architecture.  Trying to change carreers and i'm either over educated or don't have enough experience.  All the companies are looking for 20-somethings to exploit.  I have no idea what i'm going to do.  Might have to move into mom's basement.\n\nI wish I could go back in time and tell myself not to waste my time and money with that damn master's degree.

None of them. The only talented people that have ever been on that show were Constantine Maroulis and Bo Bice and neither of them won... Which is probably a good thing since the winner has to shut up, do as they are told and get no say in their own career.

yes... 1 in 12 guys sign is cancer...  more importantly - who in the world is dumb enough to believe in astrology???  if it was true, then every 12th person would be living the same life as every other 12th person... also they would have the same personality.  GEEZE!  save your money and go buy some sweets... don't waste it calling people who are gonna scam you out of your money with fake promises and cold reading.

I DO! I DO!  I think it is the dumbest show ever.  And he is soooooo NOT hot.  The only reason girls think he's hot is because he's got that bad boy persona.  Grow up already.\n\nMy husband does cagefighting, maybe he'll kick his a##!

Yes of course you do.  But it's more about attitude than aptitude.\n\nListen to Sid Vicious and decide for yourself.

I think Bob Knight's past is definately an issue in determining penalties by the NCAA.  Simply because he switched teams does not make his slate become "clean".  He made those choices to throw tantrums and his past has followed him.  I, too, am from Indiana, and this subject seems to come up every year about now.  Hopefully Bob "what's up" Knight (IU fans will get that reference) has changed his ways.  I'm going to quit talking about him before I feel his wrath reach through the computer and kick the chair out from under me.

Don't think so.  I need a good laugh from time to time and there are many that are interested in learning so keep them there.  We can skip over some of the questions.  Rather strange though they seem to get the most answers.  Looks to me like abut half of the wankers are not teens.  older guys trying to act like teens.

I THINK THEY ARE IDIOTIC POO POO BRAINS!! sorry but you should see the freakin retards at my schools cheer team, believe me they aren't that bright, they think that if they can do a bunch of routines that'll get themselves noticed then get guys and all that or maybe they do it cause they like being thrown in the air or flashing panties.

Unfortunately, No.  Too many of our colleges are football factories.  They turn out pro players with nothing to fall back on.  Maurice Clarett is a real good example.  He came out early, was no were near a degree and now he sits in prison on gun and drug charges.  Every year you see players drafted, they don't make the team and end up working at Subway.  Very sad, but true.

i think if a girl thinks she could do it and really wants to than, she should. Look at what Anika Sorinstam did for womens golf. I think if they are able, i don't see why not. As far as the guys are better than girls at every sport, thats a bunch of bull. I know i have got my butt whipped by girls in a couple of co-ed sports.
