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 choose to marvel at having the lead to begin with by El Kabong
Certainly head-and-shoulders above any bowl performance I've seen since Lou left.
Mike Elston couldn't keep up with their tempo and get the right guys on the field, and Tommy Rees made a mistake in going away from the run with Williams out. Maybe Freeman should have reacted more strongly to both those things. Maybe he realized it was a non-playoff bowl and better to see what he had with those assistants. Maybe it was both. Maybe neither.
Regardless, it annoys me that we finally get what we want -- a coach who isn't a jagoff who is recruiting a fantastic class already -- and there's still bitching and moaning.
