Magee: Dayman fighter of the Knight man




















"Excuse me photographer while I step on your face on my way to the top"


Champion of the most winning record in men's basketball history

Adolph Rupp , Dean Smith, Bobby Knight and now Herb Magee. Herb Magee ---which sounds more likely to be a name I might have given a woman dancing atop Bar Louisville during a drunken college stupor. Given that I talked to said woman, woman asked my name, and I was able to speak coherent sentences in drunken state - none of which were ever guaranteed--- is now the winningest men's basketball coach in history.
Knight became the winnings coach in men's basketball history, when the Red Raiders defeated the New Mexico Lobos, 70–68 on January 1, 2007. Tonight, just three years later he is dethroned after, the tough Philadelphia University Rams win over Goldey-Beacom College puts Magee in first. Who is this Goldey-Beacom other than the answer (or question if it's jeopardy style) to some off the wall trivia question at your neighborhood trivia night?

Goldey-Beacom College... you know:
Location: Delaware
Student Population: 1600
Mascot: Lightning
Features: Apartment-style residence halls on an extremely safe suburban campus. A must have if you ask any of those Tennessee Volunteers students.

So Congratulations coach Magee. Keep up the mediocre work for the mediocre school and setting your name in record books with those mediocre names - you know the ones people know from the schools people actually know. Although, I am glad the record no longer belongs to UNC or Texas Tech/IU coaches anymore.
