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 remember Ecuyer from the college fb magazines by Dennis
of the later 50's. That was when I first started seeing them on news stands and reading them. I was about 9 years old and I specifically remember seeing pictures of him in Street and Smith, as I recall, and perhaps others. I was a Notre Dame fan after having read a book on Rockne and I didn't even know the school colors. When I looked in the back of the magazine where they carried the team schedules, name of the head coach, mascot and team colors I was a bit anxious because I hated the color red and hoped for something in blue or green. Bingo! The magazine said "Gold and Blue" and I was thrilled. Later I saw pictures from earlier seasons and was perplexed to see Green as well but, hey, that was my favorite color. I lucked out in ND using my favorite colors in the world. Ah, to be a kid again.
