This is not a vent board or any other kind of therapy. Before you hit the POST button, ask yourself if your contribution will add to the level of discussion going on.
Important notes on articles:
- Please do not copy entire articles into your post; rather, provide links to them.. We are now links-only for ALL Internet publications. If only a small portion of the article pertains to your post, Fair Use allows you to copy those one or two paragraphs, provided you cite the author's name and the publication for which he writes. Otherwise, put a link in the HTTP Link box.
- Even if you're copying a reference to an article, provide a link to the page from which the article came. We're trying to cut down on duplicate topics, and the posting process will check the link to your article to see if it's already being discussed on this board. At the very least, you'll save yourself some grief on the boards.
- If your first reaction after reading the article you're going to share is the author is uninformed / stupid / a jerk / all of the above, it's not worth sharing with anyone. Not every article needs to be discussed. The more the hair-pulling articles are discussed (e.g. ESPN Page 2), the more the authors will write hair-pulling articles.

27-27....a quick look at a bad year by ndgotrobbedin97
Consider:
ND got 9 of their 11 ACC wins over bottom feeders BC (3), VT (3), Pitt (1), Wake (2).
Their only other ACC wins were over NC State, and UNC.
ND was 3-9 in series (more than 1 game against teams), including a 3-5 mark in ACC series. They were swept 3 times in ACC series (UL, FSU, Clemson...should thank their lucky stars Miami was snowed out).
ND needed a comeback to take 1 of 3 from Ohio University. They lost an ACC series to Pitt. Both of these were in South Bend.
ND didn't just manage to lose to the big time ACC/SEC teams this season. They also own losses to Santa Clara (2), Bradley, Bucknell, Ohio U (2), and the stellar Eastern Michigan program.
They did manage to go 3-3 vs. the MAC. So, it was not all gloom and doom this season.
