Brian Zoubeck's One Last Chance @ Fulfillment
11/19/2009
Greetings Everyone !!!
As you can tell from my birthday, I'm a bit of an old timer but I've been a basketball fan ever since I can remember and have been a Duke fan going back to Johnny Dawkins ... and as all college basketball aficionados I've experienced the highs and lows of each and every season since !!! I am not a HOMER and on those occasions where Duke has been eliminated, I have ardently rooted for the other ACC teams left ... even if it is UNC, because I earnestly believe that rivals do not have to be enemies !!!
I rail against anyone who uses the word "HATE" to describe their feelings for another team, player, or conference because sports are supposed to enhance our lives, not become a way of life !!!
I also am not fond of HOMERS who are myopic in their view of the program they support because that is not realistic, nor faire to anyone else competing in the same arena !!!
I believe that Coach K has already distinguished himself among the greats of the college game and that includes the likes of Dean Smith, "The General" , Louie Carnesecca, Roy Williams, & Tom Izzo !!! I also am a fan of PJ Carlesimo & Rick Majerus ... two (2) men, I believe, set themselves apart by their dedication to innovation and professionalism !!!
I am also a fervent fan of Dickie V, and believe he has done more to promote college basketball from what I knew as a kid !!! The fact that he is a Duke fan and sent his daughters there is just icing in the cake !!!
Each year for the last 25+ years I have run a "Bragging Rights" pool unlike any pool you have every experienced ... it is extremely difficult to win and to prove it, no one has ever won it back-to-back ... and I've only won my own pool three (3) of those years !!! Each year the winner has won "bragging rights" and something from Dickie V's collection because of his tireless support for the Jimmy V Foundation !!!
Please enjoy my contributions ... they are made in earnest support of my favourite sporting event of the year ... March Madness !!!
