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.

This is not a Rebuilding Year. by RagingBull

There is enough talent and senior leadership to be in serious contention for a Final Four appearance.

He replaced a 2-year starter in goal with a talented Frosh. Besides Entenmann, Kavanaugh, Westlin, and McCahon all deserve to see playing time. We're young because young talent deserves to be on the field and beat out solid upperclassmen.

Yes, FOGO is an issue but it's not the biggest one plaguing the team. We make far too many mistakes, our slides have been weak and late, Costabile is forcing it too often, and our Offense is stale and predictable. As a whole, this is a typical Corrigan team. They are talented but tightly-wound. The mental errors are caused by their nerves. They are not a loose bunch. You can see Entenmann looking over at the bench to see whether he's going to get yanked.

Costabile, Kielty, and Restic need to have a closed door meeting with the team and get them out of the funk. This is where leaders thrive.

They're 2-3 but they're not out. Beat Michigan and get on a roll. If they continue as they're playing they won't win a game in the ACC.
