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.

Gaither Tops "Ring of Honor" Poll by dillon77

Hey Benchers and/or Voters in the "Who Should Be The Next Honoree?" in the Notre Dame Basketball Ring of Honor?

The poll has been at 112 votes for quite some time so Baba and I are (un)officially calling this fun exercise fait accompli (at least for Bench purposes).

Results as of Sunday, May 13th (see below for link):

- Katryna Gaither: 44%
- Alicia Ratay: 16%
- Muffet McGraw: 12%
- Jacqueline Batteast: 6%
- Natalie Achonwa & Megan Duffy: Each received 5%
- Jewell Loyd: 4%

Addendum:
1 (more) vote for Gaither, 1 vote for Kat Westbeld, 2 votes for Muffet McGraw, 1 vote for Arike Oghunbowale, 1 (more) vote for Megan Duffy.

So, think it's fair to say that many people believe Coach Beth Morgan Cunningham's collegiate running-mate should be the next to have her number recognized above the court.


Thanks to those who reached out with suggestions/research on players to be considered; those who voted; and, Baba -- of course -- for working with me setting up everything and promoting it (great job!!!). Tip of the hat to ND Hoops Recruit for promoting, as well.

Happy Mothers Day.
