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.
Post being replied to
i think this is funny because he is trying to make a valid by Bagimus Maximus
point, but is hampered by the fact that he chose Michigan as the school to get an education. He is majoring in Evolutionary Anthropology, which may be a Michigan farce like their football Kinesiology major so he is not the best when it comes to expressing his thoughts into words.
I believe that he was trying to say that the game against Ohio State was an "aberration" but used the word "mirage" instead. The sentence meaning changes dramatically with the word choice.
Just my opinion
