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.

There were two brothers who were great bookstore by 1978Irish

players. One was Mike Meyer who was Mr Bookstore in 1976, I think. They were big guys 6'4" and 250 pounds. One was a shot putter or discus thrower.

They were great at the Bookstore permitted goal tending. They would swat the balls off the rim.

Clemens was an amazing Bookstore player. One game he would dribble down the court, and make a turn around jump shot from the top of the key. I think he had 12 or 13 baskets in that game.

I went to grade school and high school with Jeff Carpenter. He was amazing in Bookstore 1978. A year or 2 before he got run into a pole on one of the old Bookstore courts and broke his collar bone. He kept playing, although he couldn't use one arm.

Carp was quick and a great ball handler, but he had side spin on his jump shot and was not a good outside shooter. Everyone but UCLA and Indiana zoned ND back then and so he struggled at ND. ND guards needed to be very good outside shooters.

Strangely enough, Jeff's best games were against Indiana and UCLA who each won national titles in his 4 years at ND, because they played man to man defense against ND and he could beat their very good players off the dribble.

Dubenetsky played football really hard, but he was a half step slow to play safety. He was flagged for a bunch of late hits which I was convinced was just bad timing and that he wasn't a dirty player. I used to joke that he had the record for most personal fouls in a career.
