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.

Ask me after the OSU game. by 105Marquette

OSU will probably win comfortably. I really need to see what improvements and mistakes Freeman makes. Are the good things substantive improvements, like good play calling and kickass OL blocking? Or are they flukey miracle plays that worked because of QB heroics combined with OSU's defense still shaking off the rust? Are the mistakes corrected or repeated throughout the game?

Like everyone else, I'm happy with Freeman's recruiting efforts and his zeal for the job. He's tireless and is clearly making recruits excited to come to ND. (Who was the player whose house Willingham stayed in for like 8 hours, practically uninvited? Yeesh. The contrast with Freeman is just nuclear bomb-striking.) I just really hope his recruiting matches his game day performance.
