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.

We beat a team that was fielding a 2nd-or-3rd string QB, by G.K.Chesterton
with a coach who has gone 8-10 since the beginning of 2018 (now 3-3 in 2019) and is now playing under an interim AD. The game was still in doubt until the failed onside kick attempt.
This, against a team that came into the game ranked 38th by FEI whose leading rusher has had knee soreness all year and is now done for the year. This is not the USC of the 60's and 70's.
I think somebody mentioned it recently, but since 1994, we are 4-39 against teams that finished in the top 10 and we haven't won such a game since 2013. We haven't won a major bowl game since 1/1/1994.
It's hard to be excited beating a mediocre team by 3 points at home.
EDIT: Fixed misspelling.
