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.

Give me something to respect. by Steel_City_Irish

The players are great as always, a handful of the coaches demand excellence. The administration is gutless, chasing revenue and not results. I can respect what the stated goal and mission is of ND on the larger scale outside of football. However the people in charge of being stewards of the history of excellence in regards to the football program have failed spectacularly. So much so that even people who used to be die hard fans now are defending moral victories. I’ve never been so dejected about the state and future prospects of the program as I have been today, people are totally stoked about mediocrity.
