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.

Ecuyer was co-captain of the '58 Irish/2 time AA, wrestler by olson
Ecuyer was in the 1955 ND Frosh class...the same class HS teammate Richie Petitbon should have been in
In his sophomore year (the only varsity season he wasn't named to an All American team) Ecuyer had a broken thumb, sprained ankle and pinched nerve in his neck...and still played the most minutes of any guard on the ND roster - 324 minutes & was 4th on the team in tackles
Ecuyer led the '57 Irish in tackles & made a number of All American teams
As a senior in '58, Ecuyer led the team in tackles again...no one else was even close-the #2 defensive player had 25 less tackles than Ecuyer...and he made All American again
also lettered at ND as a varsity wrestler
