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.

Doesn’t mean they weren’t overhyped by captaineclectic
Do you remember following the 2005 season? They were supposedly the greatest team of all time. Bush and White were Doc Blanchard and Glenn Davis and Matt Leinart was the reigning Heisman winner headed for a repeat. When Bush was not taken first overall, it was derided as one of the biggest errors in drafting history (it was not a mistake at all and Bush was not even the best RB in his draft class).
In retrospect, they struggled against two inferior opponents during the regular season and while they ran up gaudy numbers against poor opponents, only their blowout of Oregon stands out as an impressive win.
Admittedly Miami 2002 got similar treatment, as did FSU 2000.
