Remember when you were a kid and you had a hard-*** teacher whom your whole class feared? And then he retired and you got a new teacher who was young and fun and liked the same bands you did and called everyone "buddy"? And you were so relieved that you didn't have the old guy anymore? And then a few years later you got to a higher level of education and suddenly realized that the fun guy taught you jack all?
Sure, he could shoot the breeze and make you feel all warm and fuzzy, but he taught you nothing about differential equations at all. And the old guy might have been a mean SOB, but he actually did know his stuff, and he knew how to teach it to you?
Yeah, that's kinda how we'll all be feeling this season.
