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.

I cannot disagree with that, but our once higher bar by Pat85
has been significantly lowered in our scheduling the last 10 years. If our mission is to compete for and win National Championships as an independent, we need to play 11 power 5 games every season (the same number the conference champs from the BIG and SEC will play every year). With Navy as you point out, that would mean zero other MAC or group of 5 games. If we want to make the playoffs occasionally as an undefeated team playing a weak schedule, only to get our asses kicked, status quo is spot on.
