Funny line

This was in an article on the ESPN website. For those who don't follow College football, Steve Spurrier is the guy who brought the pro-style passing offence into college football. For years the "dogma" in college football was that you had to have a running game to win, and a passing offence was too complicated to institute when players only have 4 years of elligibility. Steve Spurrier turned that philosophy on its ear when he started the "Fun n' gun" offence at Florida and started winning. Here's a quote from the article:

When Spurrier returned to his alma mater in 1990 and began to dominate the SEC, it was as if Charles Darwin walked into the Southern Baptist Convention and proved the theory of evolution. The true believers had to stomach the fact that the running game, and stopping the run, was no longer enough.

mhess, your sarcasm is noted.

bdfoster, I did indeed find this amusing and, in its own way, insightful. I wonder what it would take . . .

Considering how firmly the SBC is controlled by fundamentalists at this time and considering some of the tactics they successfully used to increase their power over the national convention, I somehow suspect that it would take more than Darwin showing up at the convention.....even if he were somehow successful in proving his theory to them.......
