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 fully expected some former players to be involved. by usaf_irish

The extent to which they are is a pleasant surprise.

I was really glad to see them talk about the player performance aspect of the facility. And the overall square footage falls in line with comparable NFL and college facilities that have either been built, are planned, or under construction.

The questions about player disengagement remain valid. I also wish we’d see someone point up the cash to modernize and expand the dining halls as well the athletic food facilities. But that’s another discussion for another time.

I’m headed into the stadium for the spring game. Have a great day everyone.
