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 think... by Hunt
The rest of the Big Ten played this weekend, so it seems like this was our regularly scheduled Big Ten bye in the second half of the season, due to there being seven teams. Michigan played a two-gamer vs. Michigan State.
There were two other full two-game series in the Big Ten January 4th-5th, plus the ND/UM outdoor game. So it seems like that "should" have been the two game home series vs. Michigan, but ND probably asked UM to move the game to make the outdoor game stand alone, plus you had the students gone and campus still in recovery mode from all things Winter Classic.
