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 saw it in Pittsburgh at the (now torn down) Syria Mosque by ArasEra

via "closed circuit tv".

Syria Mosque was a concert hall. Closed circuit tv featured no advertisements - you could hear the play by play announcer and the color commentator talking during the breaks.

I also saw the 1974 Notre Dame vs Pitt game at the same venue, same closed circuit tv broadcast. That was the game where ND held Tony Dorsett to 61 yards while they rammed fullback Wayne Bullock down Pitt's throat, especially in the last 8 minutes of the 4th quarter when ND drove 55 yards for the winning TD. Carry after carry went to Bullock and Pitt couldn't stop Wayne The Train. He ran for 124 yards in that game. One of the beauties of this was that the Syria Mosque was located in the Oakland neighborhood of Pittsburgh which is the Pitt campus. Plenty of disappointed and whining Pitt fans there that day. It was quite enjoyable for me, though.
