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.

Brian Dowler- ND transfer to FSU then Marshall by olson

Brian Dowler Tampa Fl Plant HS was a member of Notre Dame's 1987 recruiting class.

Brian is the son of Green Bay Packers great WR Boyd Dowler

Brian transferred initially to Florida St and then to Marshall.

Per the link below, Brian Dowler's 13 td catches in '91 is the 6th best in Marshall history & 1,197 receiving yrs that same season is the 8th best ever.

Like his father, Brian Dowler was also a punter.

I seem to remember reading that Brian Dowler had something to do with Randy Moss ending up at Marshall...having followed the exact same path from ND to Florida St to Marshall....albeit Moss never actually arrived at ND...


The only other ND transfer to Marshall that I can think of was Joe Wizba HB Shadyside Oh (a member of the ND 1970 recruiting class) who transferred to Marshall and played DE
