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.

well, then you need to call Tim Grunhard asap by irishrock
because he used to a high school HC and then an assistant coach in the KC metro area. He specifically told a kid that he'd be a poor fit for ND and listed out all the reasons. That kid ended up at Oklahoma (playing for Bob Stoops, who people on this board would love to coach at ND...me included despite missing some fire in the belly)
He said this on the radio.
Interestingly enough, that same high school has two kids playing for ND right now. Different kids and different schools are fits for each other...and they aren't. A hs coach SHOULD be watching out for the player and not allowing the kid to make a mistake.
