Bobby Knight Would Like You to Consider Buying a German Automobile

Anyone got a temperature reading from hell? It was totally unthinkable just a few months ago but it seems that Bobby Knight has made a full 180-degree shift from ornery basketball coach to cuddly television analyst and pitchman. Well, he's not actually cuddly but he's doing his best to challenge Dick Vitale, Chris Berman and the rest of his ESPN colleagues when it comes to spreading his seed to corporate America.

I'm not really feeling it. Doesn't Knight strike you as the type who would only ever buy an American car?

Knight's no stranger to endorsements, of course, as his increasingly NASCARish sweaters at Texas Tech made quite clear. Nor is he actually a stranger to the world of television commercials. After the jump, check out a vintage ad from the General.


Now that's a fun ad. Makes me want to grab some Minute Maid and have a laugh with Bobby Knight, which aren't two things I'm normally feeling.
