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 was at that game by Denver Jim

sitting high up in the north end zone. When that kick went through it was the loudest single roar I have ever heard in the stadium. People were hugging strangers, crying. It was unbelievable. And I was at the Miami game, which was the best, most intense game I ever attended. The Terrell knock down was a close second.

But in '80 there was a jerk Ohio State fan sitting a couple of rows in front of us in a red jacket. He pretended to want ND to win saying he hated Michigan etc. He talked the whole damn game, a typical 'the" asswipe. Then when Michigan went ahead with something like 46 seconds left he turned around yelling and doing a mocking sign of the cross over and over again and yelling at 'You papists" or something like that.

When the kick went through, after I finished hugging some guys wife or girlfriend, we look down and that guy was running down the steps at full speed. People were yelling at him but you couldn't hear it was so loud. Great memory.
