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.

More clarification is needed by Molly Maguires

When I say there are no exceptions, that's exactly what I mean.

Let's say it's the end of the season, and Notre Dame's playoff hopes rest upon Penn State winning their final game (and they're 0-11) --- nothing else could help the Irish get in, no other combination of wins or losses, plane crashes, plague outbreaks, anything.

I still want Penn State to lose.

Fuck it.

There's always next year.

I don't care if Michigan, USC, and Ohio State form the unholy trinity of cfb and make a megateam.

I'm still want them to beat Penn State. Penn State is not to win a single game in any sport, at any level, ever.

I want their intramural teams to lose, I want the students playing online video games to lose all those games and then the server crashes, I want their computers to get viruses, I want them to get viruses, I want the children of their alums to love Penn State, apply, and be rejected because it got the death penalty
