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.

That was mid-week game sandwiched between UVA and OSU. Both programs are certainly more on the map in the lax world. ND didn't respect them and they are building a program. They just beat PSU on the road for their 1st B1G win ever and they have had some close losses at home. They were only down 7-5 to MD late in the 3rd before MD turned it up to win 13-5. They lost to Hopkins 10-9 with Hopkins scoring the game winning goal with less than 30 second.
It looked like a bad loss earlier this year but it looks better given an entire season's perspective.
Unfortunately, they will be a team to watch in the coming years. Have a number of young players and pouring money into their program with a new facility (though they only have 2 fulltime coaches and a volunteer).
