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 love how much that game bothers them by Orangutan
When Mississippi State beat them, remember that Geno smiled. Here Samuelson basically says that they knew they played poorly.
Against Notre Dame, they played as hard as they could and didn't play particularly badly and got beat. That's inconceivable for them.
The previous season they knew they were somewhat inexperienced and didn't necessarily expect to win the championship. Last year, they expected to win it all, they did their best, and they came up short.
Because I am a petty person my favorite thing about last season is that Oregon, UConn, and Mississippi State were all left thinking "We should have beat them". But they didn't.
