Okay, I'm sitting in Organic Evolution right now with my professor giving a presentation on Bigfoot, and it just so happens that he is the most credible "expert" in the world on the subject. (Dr. Jeff Meldrum) We're watching the Patterson-Gimlin film and he's going over it, it's very interesting, and he's not trying to persuade anyone that he's correct in his beliefs, he's tying it in to Evolution and whatnot. I have to say, he is probably the most intelligent Biology teacher I've had in all my schooling, and this will be the first day I actually kind of listen to what he's saying, as he is now speaking down to my level.
Anyway, coming back to my Duke post... I realize that I am wrong to despise Duke more than other programs of the same nature. If you're a coach in college basketball, you're goal is to win the national championship, and that's what Coach K did. He changed his program to fit what would be the best way to win the championship, so he evolved with what college basketball has turned into. He still has class off the court, I have nothing against Coach K except his incessant whining at officials. So congrats to Duke and Coach K, you have done what it takes to be successful in your genre.
My gripe is with the college game in general. It has turned into the AAU league of colleges, where the individual is greater than the game and the team. But I'm not surprised, as the goal for college basketball players is to play at the next level, whether it be the NBA or some professional league.
I'm done for now, I will go back to listening to Dr. Meldrum, as it's a more in-depth version of the special I saw on the Nat-Geo Channel that I watched in the days when I had cable television. I must be de-evolving, soon I'll give up electricity in general and use a steam powered cell-phone.
