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.

Joe Restic Sr. was rumored at one time to be the next by G.K.Chesterton

coach at Notre Dame, replacing Dan Devine. However, I wasn't aware of the story below until now.

BOSTON -- Harvard University football coach Joe Restic is leaving the Ivy League to become head coach at the University of Notre Dame, the Patriot Ledger of Quincy reported Thursday.

The newspaper said it was informed by a source that Restic, named Eastern Coach of the Year in 1974 and New England Coach of the Year in 1974 and 1975, came to terms with the Irish two weeks ago.

Restic, however, told the Ledger, 'I have no comment on anything about Notre Dame. The only thing I'm thinking about now is my game with Dartmouth this week. That's the only thing on my mind. That's all I have to say.'

Notre Dame officials declined comment on the report
