And I almost definitely would have made that choice when I was in college. I was thinking that the two most crowded places on campus are Cameron during a men's basketball game, and Duke Hospital. Most of the people who wind up in the hospital start to lose interest in what's happening in Cameron. They know sports is passing and they tend to think more of what's eternal. There is a time for both.
Sports is a great distraction, a way to release energy and have fun.
I really enjoyed the Duke-Carolina game this week. But then life goes on. Even for the star athletes, life moves on. They eventually lose their edge and retire to a less sparkling life. For some reason I don't claim to understand, athletes are getting into more trouble with the law lately.
