The Outkast Theory

Before you waste your life (and everyone else's time) doing something, do me a favor and take a lesson from earth's resident ATLiens: If you can't be the best at whatever it is you're doing or at least do it differently than anyone else, don't do it. If you can be the best AND "change the game" than you absolutely must fulfill your potential.
Although he won some championships before anyone realized what was happening and caught up with him, I'm not about to call Spurrier the best college football coach. But he did bring something new to the table. He brought speed to the SEC, and won some games while everyone else had to start recruiting players to defend a team that passed to set up the run. Spurrier needed to be a football coach. Although if his run at South Carolina ends with another team scheduling their bye-week so they can spend two full weeks preparing against us I'll deny I ever said that.
Bear Bryant, on the other hand, ran when other coaches ran and passed when other coaches passed. He just did it better than anyone else ever did.
But if you're like Outkast, and you can be the best and the most unique hip-hop duo ever, you have a moral obligation to keep it up.
