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.

Mistakes by ccndbound

This team is making far more mental mistakes than in teams in years past. Man down defense was terrible - not rotating quick enough and not getting to the shooter (Leclaire). OSU ran the same play multiple times and our rotating D got stuck on the pick more than once. Those are mental errors.

Our A leaving the box early on the late face off that we were about to get - mental mistake that cost ND possession.

Offsides, delay of games, etc. - mental mistakes.

If these don't get cleaned up, they are going to have a hard time beating anyone in the ACC. All other ACC teams are looking pretty strong.
