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.

This is the official stance of those looking to justify the by irishnole4638
idea that Notre Dame will always be a failure under Brian Kelly. It ignores the fact that college football is a game of great emotion and we do not know what the outcome would have been had they been RIGHTLY given the ball on the 5 or wherever it was. Automatic assumptions that we would have settled for a Yoon field goal are ludicrous. We were not getting our asses kicked at that point. We had momentum. Had the call stood it would have been "wake up the echos moment".
Just as likely as your pouty sky is falling scenario is we scored a TD and then on the next possession sack goldilocks causing a turnover.....etc etc.....it could have been a different ball game,
