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.

We should pray that everyone, even scoundrels, finds peaceful repose.
Since I came to ND fandom rather late - I had no direct connections to ND before attending - I've always found the whole "Keith Jackson hates Notre Dame" whining on the part of the Notre Dame fanbase to be completely ridiculous. So much so that if there were an "irrational ridiculousness" scale, Notre Dame fans' assessment of Jackson would land right next to Texas A&M's "little brother syndrome" in their hatred of the Texas Longhorns.
Jackson was the voice of college football for a couple of generations, and he deserves a fond sendoff, even from Notre Dame. In fact, maybe especially from Notre Dame, since he was probably more informed about Notre Dame's history than most Notre Dame fans.
