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 agree with a lot of this. by Porpoiseboy
I think Tierney is one and would have won a national championship at ND if his same term at Denver had been here.
However, I like to remind myself that is nothing more than my opinion.
In theory we might have the Tierney of hockey as our HC. He won multiple championships prior to arriving at ND. Yet he still hasn't won ND one of those cheap-looking NCAA plaques for winning all the gravy.
Like Kevin, Jeff has taken ND to the finals twice. Either one could have fallen ND's way, just like Kevin's two.
Our program has been better than traditional powers Cuse and Hopkins for a decade. That is not easy to accomplish. All the thoughts in this post help me keep my keel even. Tierney didn't even make the tournament this year.
