Irish, I have to disagree on the teaching issue. My husband is a top research professor who was lured to ND to help jump-start a sagging department. He has always taught both graduate and undergraduate students, but the grad students at his previous university were several orders of magnitude better than the undergrads. The situation is reversed here, and he loves working with the undergraduates. He won several teaching awards at his previous university, and has never NOT taught at least one course per semester. He even taught a few undergrads last year in an unofficial course because they were so interested in a particular topic.
There are faculty who are great at research AND teaching. It's not impossible.
