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.

Thoughts on Marchy Schwartz. by G.K.Chesterton
1. How come I've never heard of this guy? Interestingly enough, sports-reference.com doesn't list him at all.
2. Per the National Football Foundation, In 1962 a panel of sports writers and broadcasters picked an all-time Notre Dame team, and Schwartz was in the backfield along with George Gipp, Jim Crowley and Johnny Lujack.
2. The trading card shows him with 972 yards in 1930 but that must have been a typo and you're right that nobody had more until Al Hunter (Creighton Miller came close in 1943). Even so, 927 would have led ND five (5) times in the 1990's.
