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.

Wojcik Is Doing Something New for the Irish.... by dillon77

He is serving as the offensive coordinator for the Irish, which is what is listed in his bio and referenced by the commentators during the game.

To the best of my knowledge and memory -- and I invite anyone to please tell me I'm off here -- this is the first time Coach Corrigan has ceded game planning and control to one of his assistant coaches. He's acted as his de facto offensive coordinator, while Byrne was the defensive general.

To my view, I view this as a good move. Most of the Irish's top rivals have dedicated offensive coordinators so HC's can overee the whole program, make strategic moves during games and, of course, manage the clock. At this stage in his career, why not try a different approach, particularly with Gerry Bryne leaving. Shake it up a bit.

I saw a few sets during the game that I've never seen before Nothing off the wall, but both resulted in good shots.

Of course, it helps to have someone like Pat Cavanagh, who can run plays and/or create on his own.

Stay tuned.

Both Men's and Women's move up in the polls: men's a bit, women right up to #2.
