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.

Agree that ND Could Use Another Game or Two. Roadtrip! by dillon77

...and I have (yet) another suggestion for it:

- Follow the Muffet Mcgraw model of scheduling a game in a player's home area/region her senior (or last) year as a way of making it easy to bring the family/friends to a game.

In this case, I'm thinking it could also be a recruiting tool; namely, schedule a long weekend of two games in the NYC region (either two against Long Island schools such as Hofstra, St. John's or Stony Brook) or one each in Long Island or New Jersey (Rutgers or Princeton). Given how many players we have from Chaminade (Rockville Centre in Nassau), St. Anthony's (Suffolk County) and New Jersey (Seton Hall Prep), lots of interest there. Plus, huge recruiting and/or brand building for some of the public school programs.

If Jack wants to fill the plane, double up with Halfpenny's girls team which has numerous players from both areas, too.

Venue-wise, Hofstra and Rutgers area easy to get to and Stony Brook/Princeton are not that difficult, either.
