The same "idiots" who hate on my favorite coach of all time, Michael Krzyzewski(Duke University).....these people are just born to hate! God Bless em! LOL Merle and Coach K don't give a rat's ass what they think, they just focus on the positive and keep on a keepin' on,,,that's why they both were so dang successful and legends! I read somewhere that Coach K was a Hag fan.....pretty surprising for a inner city Chicago boy who loves his MoTown! But, great music is appreciated by those who know what greatness is!
