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.

And they will almost always play a 10th game by Pat85
in the conference championship game against a top 5 opponent.
If ND settles for 9, they better damn well make the other 2 games top 20 power 5 level.
If our goal is to become the new version of Penn State circa 1975, then by all means keep watering down the schedule to make our regular season record look impressive. Not sure that will prepare us for playoff success (or position us to make the playoffs), but that is one choice. I would prefer we pursue an aggressive schedule model that consistently puts us in the top 15 of strength of schedule.
