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.

Thanks- great stuff - that Jesuit/Holy Cross pipeline was by JohnCardinalOHara

really something. And Norbert Roy- a name from the past- I think he was Billy Cannon's teammate at Istrouma. His uncle, Alvin Roy, had a gym in Baton Rouge and was a pioneer in weight training and isometric exercises for athletes- guys like Bob Petit, Billy Cannon, and Norb Roy. You could do a story on that one day. Fascinating stuff. Olson, you are the master. The New Orleans/Baton Rouge to ND (Catholic school) connection is fascinating. IN the 50s and 60s, the Jesuit vs Holy Cross game at City Park (Tad Gormley) stadium would draw 30,000 people. It would be carried live on WWL (Loyola's own radio and TV station).
