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 guess it depends by HTownND

On what you are comparing it to.

everyone else, yeah, it's fine.

What I grew up with and had grown accustomed to, it sucks.


This is my other beef with the ACC deal. I can't muster much "give a shit about Pitt and Cuse (who we've played many times, well before the ACC deal). Like I said, Ball State may be the lowest "give a shit" game since I started following ND games 34 some odd years ago. Pitt is pretty close. I just can't muster much give a shit about watching us play Pitt again. Michigan is great. FSU is great. Stanford and USC are Stanford and USC (who rotate). That's 3 home games worth a damn this year in Michigan, FSU and Stanford. The rest, I really don't give a shit about. I used to care about all of the home games. That's just not the case anymore.

But I do agree, we're just like everyone else (and not elite) when it comes to scheduling.
