(Ifoto ngoDavid Goehring / Flickr) Isenzo sokugqibela sesine siqala e-Indianapolis ngo-6 ntambama Ixesha laseMpuma ngoMgqibelo noMbuso waseMichigan ujongene noDuke. Kukungqubana kweenkqubo ezimbini ezinkulu, ezikhokelwa ngabaqeqeshi ababini abakhulu, kwaye ndiyathemba ngayo yonke ifayibha yobukho bam ukuba amaSpartans kaTom Izzo amtyumze uDuke kaMike Krzyzewski njengezinto ezininzi ezonakeleyo, iidiliya ezimhlophe emazantsi emgqomo. Ndiyathemba ngokupheleleyo nangokupheleleyo-indlela amaTaliyane amaDala aDala athemba ngayo ukuba abantwana babo abakhulileyo banonyana abazelwe kuqala. Kwaye andindedwa.
I-Duke ehluphekileyo, yintoni abayenzileyo ukuze bakufanele oku?
IYunivesithi yaseDuke yeyona incinci, ikrelekrele kwaye ikhetha ezona kholeji zintathu ziphambili kwingingqi yaseRaleigh-Durham eNorth Carolina (ezinye ezimbini yi-UNC kunye ne-NC State). Ubhaliso lwayo luphelele lungaphantsi kwe-7000, yamkela ngaphantsi kwe-15% yabantu abafaka izicelo, kwaye kulo nyaka kunjalo # 7 kwi-US News kunye neNgxelo yeHlabathi kwiZikhundla zeYunivesithi (I-UNC yi # 30, i-NC State ingu # 101).
Njengeziko lemfundo kunye nophando, iDuke yeyesibini kuye. Ihleli kwincopho yale ndawo Unxantathu woPhando , kunye nabaninzi abaphumeleleyo beza kwi-biotech, pharma kunye nezigebenga zekhompyuter ezize ukubiza ikhaya laseTriangle. I-faculty yesikolo, i-post-docs kunye ne-alum ngokungathandabuzekiyo yongeze amakhulu ezigidi zeedola kumgca welizwe kwaye ngokungathandabuzekiyo yenze umhlaba waba yindawo engcono.
Nangona kunjalo, njengaye wonke umntu olungileyo waseMelika othanda inkululeko nobulungisa, ndibukele i-NCAA Men's Basketball Tournament minyaka le ibhula ngokulinganayo ngeziganeko ezibini ezahlukileyo eziza kwenzeka: ukuba iqela lam liyenze ikwazi ukufikelela kude (xa bayenza kwaphela) kwaye ukuba uDuke alahlekelwe ngokukhawuleza. Ngelishwa kulo nyaka, kuye kwafuneka ndinyamezele iiDuke ezine ziphumelele kwindlela yazo eya kwesine sokugqibela. Ndikunye neqela lam (iiCal Bears) lingakhange lifumane nebhidi ye-NIT, kukhuselekile ukuthi oku khange kube yenye yeetumente ezonwabisayo ebomini bam. Itumente yonyaka ophelileyo, nangona kunjalo, yayiyenye into iyonke.
NgolwesiHlanu oqaqambileyo oshushu, kwakukuhle, kwaye kwakungekho nto ingenakuguqulwa xa ndibukele imithwalo ephezulu, eneembewu ezili-14 iMercer Bears ibetha imbewu encinci eyi-3 iDuke Blue Devils kumjikelo wokuvula. Njengokuba inxeba lewotshi phantsi kwentsimbi yoku-1: 30 kunye nomda uqala ukwanda, imihlali yeeMercer Bears ezinamandla-i-underdog enzima-iye yakhula ngakumbi kwaye izithuko ezijolise kuMqeqeshi K kunye neqela lakhe le-Blue Devils lakhula ngokungcola. Xa isandi sasikhala, amanqaku okugqibela yayinguMercer 78, uDuke 71 kwaye kwabakho uvuyo olukhulu elizweni.
UMercer wakhawuleza waqala ukuhamba kwi-Twitter. Emva koko uDuke, emva koko DownGoesDuke, kwaye ngokufutshane iDukeSucks. Ndayigxotha le tweet, ndajoyina i-cacophony yamazwi afanayo:
Nini #UDuke Ukuphulukana, iMelika iyaphumelela. #UMarchMadness

Nantsi into: andinakukhathalela iMercer. Andinalwazi lokuba iphi iYunivesithi iMercer, andinakukuxelela igama lomdlali omnye nangona bendibukele yonke imizuzu yomdlalo, kwaye bendinomdla ongazinzanga kwilungelo labo lokuya kumjikelo olandelayo wetonamenti (babethwa nguTennessee). Kodwa kule mizuzu engama-40 kunye ne-halo yozuko lwasemva koxinzelelo lukaDuke oluthiyileyo kunye nokugcoba kubakrelekrele, iMercer yayililitha elikhanyayo lethemba kunye nesikhumbuzo sokuba kusekho okuhle emhlabeni. Ubuncinci umzuzwana, bathathe iingqondo zethu xa belahleka iMalaysia i-Flight # 370, i-rootin 'tootin' isihlomelo sikaVladimir Putin saseCrimea nakwangoku Iindaba ezivela kwi-NASA ukuba impucuko iza kuwa kwiiveki ezintathu okanye into.
Ukuvuka kwam ngentsasa elandelayo yangoMvulo, ngeempelaveki zokuqala zetonamenti kwisibuko esingasemva, ugcino lwelahleko yeDuke yayisele iphelile. Ndithathe inja yam uBuckley ngomgaqo-siseko wakhe wasekuseni kwaye, njengoko yena ithathe indawo yakhe ebukekayo phantsi kwesithandwa sakhe , Ingqondo yam ibhadule yabuyela kulahlekiso lukaDuke. Khange ndiyithande into yokuba belahlekile okanye batyebe ngentiyo yam ngabo, ndatshintshelwa ngumbuzo olula: Ngoba ? Kutheni ndibathiye kangaka? Kutheni ndibacaphukela kukonke ? Kutheni le nto uninzi lwethu lubathiya ngokuzithandela nangovuyo?
Impendulo ecacileyo nekhawulezileyo kule mibuzo iyafana: UKUKHULA NGOKUKHULU. Kodwa ngoba ? Kutheni uDuke encanca? Ngelishwa, ndicinga ukuba uDuke uyasondela kuba uDuke ulungile. Zintle kakhulu kuzo zonke iindlela ezingalunganga. Kwaye iqala phezulu.
Lo ngumqeqeshi wabo.
Jonga loo mehlo amancinci, loo mpumlo inkulu yomlomo, laa baluni ibhotolo incopho yobuso. Unenwele ezinje ngesenator yelizwe laseKansas ezama ukususa indaleko kwiincwadi zebhayoloji. Xa engabumbi abafana abancinci, uyangxola koosompempe.
Igama lakhe nguMike Krzyzewski; Umqeqeshi K, ngokufutshane. Ufana nentaka yasePoland enomsindo. Ukuba i-Scrabble ivumela amagama afanelekileyo, ungaphumelela umdlalo uphela ngegama lakhe lokugqibela. Wayeqeqesha iDuke kunye ne-USA Basketball ukusukela ngo-1979-80 kwaye uphumelele ngaphezulu kwekota ezintathu zemidlalo yakhe njengomqeqeshi oyintloko. Ewe, umxhaphaze!
Aba ngabadlali babo.
UChristian Laettner, uDanny Ferry, uShane Battier, uBobby Hurley, uShavlik Randolph, uShelden Williams, uGreg Paulus, uSteve Wojciechowski, u-Austin Rivers, uJason Jay Williams, uKyle Singler, uCherokee Parks, uJJ. URickick.
UmKristu uLaettner ('88 -'92) uyedwa wakrazula intliziyo ephuma kwilizwe laseKentucky ngo-1992 nge-buzzer-beater ongakwaziyo ukuyibona kangangezihlandlo ezihlanu qho ngoMatshi. Ukuba ngabahlobo nenani labantu baseKentucki kule minyaka idlulileyo, indlela abayichaza ngayo inkumbulo yelo xesha kufana nokufumana i-Eiffel Towered nguBrandon Walsh kunye noDylan McKay kwikhamera phambi kosapho lwakho lonke, kwaye rhoqo ngo-Matshi ufumana ukonwaba ngqo Okomzuzu bavuthwa bonke ebuntwaneni bakho.
UShane Battier ('97 -'01) ujongeka njengomnqamlezo phakathi kukaDavid Letterman noMichael Strahan. Kwikholeji, xa intloko yakhe yayichetyiwe ngokupheleleyo, yayinemibimbi emininzi kwakukhangeleka ngathi umntu ukrobe ukakayi kwaye wasongela ngengqondo yakhe kulusu lukaShar Pei.
UJason Williams ('99 -'02) wenza ukuba wonke umntu ambize ngoJay, emva koko waqhuba isithuthuthu sakhe esingenaphepha-mvume kwisitrato kwaye waphantse wamkrazula umlenze, egqibezela umsebenzi wakhe we-NBA.
UShelden Williams ('02 -'06) yayiliziko elikhulu, leKlingon.
UJJ. URickick ( '02 -'06) ubhala imibongo . Yena kukhethwe ngesandla ezi ukuze zipapashwe kwi Imidlalo eboniswe Ngethuba wayesesesikolweni. Esi siqendu sokuvula esivela kumbongo kaJulayi 2004 kufuneka simkhathaze ubomi bakhe bonke:
No bandage can cover my scars It's hard living a life behind invisible bars
Ndingaqhubeka.
Uluhlu lwabadlali abacaphukisayo (abaphumeleleyo) abadlali beDuke lide kakhulu, iGrantland.com kuye kwafuneka inike uDuke isibiyeli sayo kwiKholeji yabo yeBhola ekhatywayo yeBhola ekhatywayo yabadlali beMinyaka engama-30 edlulileyo ngetumente ka-2013. Zintsonkothile iphephancwadi alizange lenze nje kuphela i Abadlali abaphezulu abangama-20 abadumileyo beDuke ngalo lonke ixesha kunyaka ophelileyo, benze a Ezona zili-10 ziPhezulu kakhulu mhlophe Abadlali beDuke kwiminyaka emithathu ngaphambili.
Aba ngabalandeli babo.
Babizwa ngokuba ziiCameron Crazies. UCameron wegama lenkundla apho iqela lebhola yomnyazi lidlala-eCameron Indoor Stadium. I-Crazies yenyani yokuba balala ngaphandle ukuze bangene kule ndawo. Ngenxa yokuba ibala lincinci kwaye kukho indawo enkulu kakhulu yabafundi (akukho tikiti zabafundi), umgca wokungena kwiiyure zokuqala kwaye ngamanye amaxesha kwiintsuku ngaphambi kwemidlalo. Kukho nokuba igama lendawo apho bafola khona kunye nokugxumeka iintente: eKrzyzewskiville.
Uphawu lomlandeli weDuke bubuso obugqithisileyo kunye nepeyinti yomzimba. Oku kusebenza ngeenjongo ezimbini: 1) ukubonisa umoya weqela labo kunye no-2) ukubufihla ukufihla kwabo.
Ukuxhawulana kwabalandeli bakaDuke ngokungafihlisiyo kukolula iingalo zabo ezipeyintiweyo kwicala labadlali belinye iqela ngexesha lokuphoswa simahla kunye nokudlalwa ngaphandle kwemida. Benza oku ukugxila kwi-voodoo mojo yabo kwaye mhlawumbi, ukuba banethamsanqa, bachukumise umntu owabelana ngesondo nentombazana ephilayo.
ICameron Crazies ayithengisi ngemali yokuzimela. Baye baziwa ngokuxinanisa intetho yabo yenkunkuma ngaphambi komdlalo kumagumbi okuncokola, ukudibana kunye neelebhu zekhompyuter, emva koko balungelelanise ukugculelwa nokugculelwa ngamaxesha aphambili. Babephakathi kwabokuqala ukuzisa ezo ntloko ziphambili emva kwebhasikithi ngexesha lokuphosa simahla, kwaye uphawu lwabo olukrelekrele lujolise kwimathematika nakwiziqhulo zegrama. Kwaye xa yonke enye into isilele, bayame kweyona ndlela ilula, inomsindo wentetho yenkunkuma: amanqaku. Akukho nto ikhuthaza ubundlobongela bomzimba ngokukhawuleza kunokuba umlandeli weDuke ajike kwicala lakho kwaye athi ibhodi yamanqaku.
Rhoqo ngo-Matshi, ezi zinto zintathu-umqeqeshi, abadlali kunye nabalandeli-bayahlangana njengevolonti yokuzibona ulilungisa. Benza ubathathu emnye ongekho ngcwele kwisibingelelo sabo abanye bethu abathandazeli usindiso okanye ubabalo nenceba yabo, kodwa ukusilela kwabo okulihlazo. Okukhona ndicinga malunga nokulungiswa kwe-macabre njengoko ndandihamba ngenqwelomoya yam encinci ebetha umoya wentsasa onqabileyo, kokukhona ndaye ndabona ukuba ingxaki yethu noDuke yeyona ngxaki yethu kuthi. Kungenxa yokuba into engalunganga eyenziwa nguDuke kukuba benza yonke into kunene.
Njengeqela lebhola yomnyazi, badlala ngobuchule nangokuqeqesha. Babelana ngebhola, bathatha ibhola entle kwaye bayamamela umqeqeshi wabo. Badlala njengeqela elinokuziphatha okuncinci kakhulu. Bayangqubana ngaphambi kokuba baphose simahla — babo okanye abachasi’ — kwaye eneneni bakhangeleka ngathi bayaxhasana. Ukubabukela bedlala iqela elincinci ngexesha leshedyuli yangaphambi kwenkomfa kufana nokubukela iqela lesikolo esiphakamileyo ePleasantville. Yonke into edutyuliweyo iyangena. Kuyacaphukisa!
Akunokwahluka ngabafundi bakaDuke. Iqela labantwana abakrelekrele abane-4 + GPAs kunye namanqaku eSAT asondeleyo, azifundayo iincwadi Ukuzonwabisa kwaye uye kwiiyure zomsebenzi zezinye izinto ngaphandle kokuzama ukongezwa kwiphepha lekota ngenxa yokuba ubunxila kakhulu kubusuku bangaphambi nangabo bonke ubusuku ngaphambi koko okoko wafika ekhampasini kwiminyaka emibini edlulileyo. Zizo ukwenza izinto ekholejini, hayi nje ukuhambisa ixesha.
Sifuna ukuba babe ziintshatsheli zemidlalo ezingaphaya kwamandla omntu okanye iingqondi zika-Asperger-y ezineenkumbulo zokufota. Thina imfuno ukuba zizinto ezo kuba zonke zizinto ezimiyo phakathi kokuphumelela kwethu kunye nophahla lwesakhiwo eside. Ungakhuphisana njani nabantu abachukunyiswe nguThixo ngamandla agqithisileyo? Awunakho, ke awunjalo. Kwaye uyeke kwangoko ukuzama. Ngokuhamba kwexesha wenza uxolo ngokungabi sesinye seziphiwo, abakhethiweyo, kwaye uqala ukujonga aba bantu bakhethekileyo njengomboniso, abanye. Abafani nawe kunye nam, aba sprinters, abadlali bebhasikithi, ubuchwepheshe beebhiliyoni ezigidi. Ukupeyinta njenge abanye yenza kube lula kuthi ukuba sizamkele thina kunye nekamva lethu.
Ukusasazwa kweTV kuhlala kuzama ukuvala umsantsa ophakathi kwethu nabo ngamabali anomdla ebantwini. Sukuyenza impazamo, injongo apha kukwenza kubo ibonakala ngathi ngathi, hayi enye indlela. I-NBC yeOlimpiki yokugubungela ichazwa sesi sicwangciso. I-ESPN ibinayo Vala ngokusondela kunye neRoy Firestone ngasekupheleni kweminyaka yama-80s nasekuqaleni kweminyaka yama-90, ngoku basebenzisa uTom Rinaldi. Imizuzu engama-60 igubungela lo mhlaba mnye kwicala elingaphandle kwezemidlalo. Ayisiyongozi ukuba amabali abawenzayo enzelwe ukuba babe ngabantu iinkwenkwezi abazibonisayo. Okwangoku, into egqibela ukwenzeka ayisiyokomntu, kodwa yintsomi. Unokwenza ngokulula imephu yebali leSuperman ngokuthe ngqo ngaphezulu kweepesenti ezingama-75 zamabali anomdla wabantu angaqali kwisixeko esingaphakathi, umzekelo. Kwaye oku kusebenza kuphela ukwandisa umsantsa.
Yintoni ebeka uDuke ngokungagungqiyo kwiziphambuka zethu kukuba ngokucacileyo azikho kwelinye icala lale msantsa. Abanazibonelelo ezifana neHarvard okanye iStanford. Abanazinto zendalo kwiqela labo njengeKentucky okanye iKansas. Sijonge ibhentshi labo okanye icandelo labo labafundi kwaye asiboni u-Anthony Davis noJohn Wall okanye uSergey Brin olandelayo kunye noLarry Page. Sibona iinguqulelo zethu, zabantwana bethu. Kwaye thina intiyo bayenzele yona kuba ukuba abahlali kwelinye icala lomsantsa, bakwicala lethu. Kwaye oko kuthetha ukuba baphumelele ngokwenza izinto ngokufanelekileyo, ngokwenza izinto thina khange yenza: ukuziqhelanisa nezinto ezisisiseko, ukusebenza nzima, ukufunda, ukuzincama, ukunyamezela, ukulibazisa ukoneliseka. Kungenxa yeso sizathu sokuba abantu bangakwazi ukuma kwiiMormon okanye bahlekise ngokuthobeka kwentliziyo. Ziyinto enhle kakhulu ukuba yinyani.
Le asiyongxaki kaDuke, yingxaki yethu le. Kwaye rhoqo ngo-Matshi, xa uDuke engena kwi-NCAA Tournament njengembewu ephezulu ye-3 (njengoko behlala besenza njalo), siyasokola ukuyamkela. Ukugculela kwethu ngabo kugqitywa kukumangalelwa — bayanyinyitheka, bakhalaza kakhulu kwiirhafu, bafumana iminxeba emininzi kakhulu, badlala ngokungcolileyo phantsi, ziintsana ezonakeleyo, bayakopela, njlnjl. , kufuneka babe nelungelo elikhulu, eso sisizathu. Ngaphakathi ezantsi siyazi ukuba abafani nathi, kwaye silungile. Ngenye indlela ejikeleze. Sifana nje nabo, ngaphandle kokuba siyilahlile ibhola kwaye bayichola babaleka nayo.
