RW, > Do high school/grade school kids still look up to the jocks, or do many of them look up to the geeks?

Of course most kids still look up to the jocks. If they looked up to the geeks, we might actually be doing better in math and science.

Or put it this way. There's a show on ESPN2 called "Madden Nation." It's all about kids playing the EA Sports video game Madden NFL 20xx (fill in the 'xx' with whatever year it is at the moment). Some of the lucky bastards actually get to meet the sports stars that they play in the game.
