I had the honor and privilege to accompany the Novice and JV debaters of JMU to Novice/JV nats this past weekend.
I forgot how awesome and utterly tiring debate is. Imagine it: hundreds of really intelligent kids carrying 50 lb tubs of evidence all across a college campus to see who can out-talk each other until there is only two people standing - it is a blast.
Congrats to the teams, they did an amazing job. I was really proud to say that I was JMU faculty this weekend.
Thanks to Paul and Mike as well for letting me come along - I will miss my opportunities to do this in the future.
In the words of one of our lovely debaters (Nikki), "Debate is Life, everything else is just Prep Time."
Well said....
