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.

They have a good coach and will have a talent advantage by smithwick
over all but two opponents on their schedule (OSU and ND) both of who they get at home. OSU is breaking in a brand new QB with absolutely no depth behind him and ND is certainly capable of losing in Ann Arbor as we've seen in 2013, 2011, 2009, and 2007.
They're not really a threat to beat a Clemson or Bama, but they could certainly get some luck and wind up in the playoffs similar to ND last year. I will say that I don't think they have a playoff caliber DLine, but they still have some talent there.
