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.

The field turf is starting to look like shit. by ocnd

Numerous seams visible, including one that ran the entire length of the endzone. You'd think with ND money, their field would look better than Penn High School, but I guess not.

The jumbotron should be limited to replays. The music is obnoxious. And lest anyone get all "OK, boomer" with me, B15 was with me and felt the same way. The hype buildup to kickoff is entirely too long. I became bored after 2 minutes of it. Just get on with the fucking game. The montages during commercials are overdone, too. Shut the fuck up and just let the band play. Broadcasting the pregame prayer is obnoxious and creepy. Stop that immediately.

The public address announcer is cheesy. Announce the plays and add relevant information. Stop with the goofy "first down" call. Mike Collins was miles better than this guy. I felt like I was at a South Bend Cubs game.
