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.

With all the transfer activity for all teams, does that by Raoul
necessitate that CFB coaches adjust their O and D schemes to simplify them so that each year transfers and freshmen can be more quickly and easily integrated and play ASAP? (i.e. rely more on letting pure talent shine through over out-scheming the other guy)
When better athletes can't get on the field because they don't know "the playbook" or the defensive calls in complex systems, is that not a problem in this new world of transfers? The reality is great players only stay 3 years (so play them right away) and good players who see inferior athletes ahead of them will get frustrated if don't get on the field a lot in year 2. Add in the fact that at ND, many can basically graduate in 3 years now (so staying for that "ND Degree") is no impediment to transferring.
