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.

'06 UVA won by an average of 8.2 gpg. by tdiddy07
17-0, 269 goals for, 129 goals against. In the regular season, they had one 7-6 win over Princeton. Otherwise, their only regular game decided by 5 goals or fewer was a 20-15 win over Syracuse. Not sure if there were others in recent memory before that were more dominant, but they stand out as a benchmark. The scored 20+ 5 times that year.
ND, after squeaking into the last spot of the playoffs after a four-year playoff drought, held them to a 14-10 win before they won by 12, 7, and 8 to end the playoffs. I was covering ND's lacrosse team for the Observer at the time, so I was tracking UVA's dominance.
ND didn't really get rolling til later in the year before having a similar playoff run. Now, UVA's regular season schedule may not have been as tough as ND's.
