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.

I knew there was some controversy over the Twombly by Camarillo Brillo

book but I couldn't remember exactly what it was. As I posted before, I started it but never finished it. Thanks Olson for reminding me about that bio.

I had NO idea that Twombly accused the '74 Irish team of tanking the SC game. That is outrageous and I am rather surprised neither Ara or the University of Notre Dame didn't sue that hack. Can you imagine if such a charge was levied against ND in this day and age of social media and viral tweets?

Of course the media roundly accused ND of racism over Ty Willingham so there ya go.

But Olson....you buried the lede in your post....

The real story from the Observer was the Helen Reddy/Peter Allen concert at Notre Dame! Heh!
