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.

Thx for This Link. The Local Article Featuring Sam's Mom... by dillon77

..was interesting in that it showed me where a bunch of the genes came from, both athletically and from a leadership perspective (her mom coached for years). But the fact that her mom is now principal at William Monroe also caught my attention...academics are obviously key in this family.

My head feels good about this decision, but there may be some factors that we don't know about. If she decides to stay east coast, I could see Duke, UVA and even Wake Forest being factored, given their academic reputations; even though one coach's best post transferred, UVA has no coach and Wake is always pushing the rock up the hill.

Well, I'll get my (green) mint chocolate chip ice cream out, hit the link and touch base with the Bench later. Cross fingers, think good thoughts and Go Irish!
