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 see two paths to ND-Navy this year by fortune_smith

Either we get a waiver from the ACC and go to Annapolis or they decide to come to ND on a modest-cost arrangement to ND. We now both seem to be open on Sept 12, so that’s a possible date.

Playing in Indy, as previously suggested, works within the ACC guidelines and appears compatible with historic Navy home game format, but makes no sense with a limited crowd, if any.

I don’t see ND giving up a future home game to get Navy to come to ND this season. Doesn’t make financial sense, and the financial considerations have become acute. But, hey, maybe we will.

The MACtion comparison doesn’t really carry here because we don’t play at their places.
