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 agree with this. If he doesn't, the schedule by KeoughCharles05

is not well crafted for us.

Two tomato can games early on will show us nothing. However, once we get to Georgia, it's unlikely we'll be able to move the ball if Book can't hit a deep ball or two. But, the next two games are tomato cans as well. The problem is the two games after that are real teams against whom we'll need Book to be able to hit the long ball.

If Book doesn't display that capability against UGA, we could enter the USC match at 4-1, and exit October at 4-3, with no chances for any meaningful redemption. The last five games could be a real slog toward a mediocre bowl matchup to get to that most important of milestones "double digit wins!" I have no interest in hearing the Pennsylvania contingent talk about how Jurkovec can shoot lightning bolts out of his ballsack for the last two months of the season, and watching yet another internecine QB controversy bubble up during a meaningless stretch of games. That's how a 10-3 season can suck ass.

If Book comes out against UGA and hits some long balls? Win or lose (close loss), I'll be interested in the rest of the season. If he sticks to the short stuff and can't hit anything deep? Even in a close loss, I'll be far less interested in the remainder.
