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.

Arike, Ruth, Sky and Mcbride lead the way for me by dbcsmith

Arike has been incredibly clutch and fun to watch. Everyone knows her name now. What a great PR person for the university. Barring injury she will be the leading scorer all time at ND. Ruth won the first national championship for us and that is enough. Sky brought ND back into the national spotlight again and Mcbide helped keep it going. Jewell would be on this list if she had stayed 4 years but she did not and Beth might be on this list if I had seen her play. Turner might yet deserve to be on the list but she has not played enough.
