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.

He was a beast...funny story(more) by Dangelotti

My roommate and I were riding the elevator in grace Hall with Mark. My roommate thought it funny to tell an Italian joke (look at my last name). After the punchline, Mark turned to my roommate and said in voice like Rambo “I don’t wanna hear no more Italian jokes ok?” My roomie just smiled and said “sure sure. Whatever you want Mark”.

I also remember him coming to my room the Monday after the 1982 Michigan game. He had put his hand they a window on a door in Grace. He was in the infirmary having gotten stitched up. He was looking for a plastic bag to wrap around his hand so he could take a shower. He still had blood on his shoes. I had to grab a gallon bag to get it over his big mitt.
