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.

Brown by Hanratty5ND
I remember watching a highlight clip of Brown in HS--I don't recall if it was shown during an ND game or his Heisman Trophy ceremony--but all I could think was how the hell did his HS team win only 1 game with his talent?
The clip shown was some 90+ yard kickoff or punt return TD. He had zero blocking and weaved and sped his way past all 11 defenders. It was unreal.
After seeing that clip it was obvious he was a 1 man team and rare talent.
Brown didn't make the Parade AA team but I remember a top 100 list came out and he was ranked #4 overall in the country. There was an interview with an anonymous Nebraska coach/scout who claimed Tim Brown was their #1 rated player in the entire country.
