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.

Follow-up notes from the Harvard game. by MPG

Dev Peters, Melissa Lechlitner, and Becca Bruszewski were seated together and introduced during a timeout. Becca is now the head coach at South Bend St. Joseph and is 2-0 so far. Speaking of SB hoops, Mila Reynolds scored 26 of Washington's 47 points in a win over Mishawaka. I saw no recruits at the game.

Stacy Fields from the early '90s teams was seated in the recruit section and was also introduced. She was a Parade All-American from Minnesota. Aren't we overdue for a recruit from Minnesota? Has ND had one since Kelly Siemon? I heard there is a good guard from there in the 2020 class...

The crowd was late arriving due to the starting time and heavy football weekend traffic surrounding campus. Overall it was a good turnout and there were football weekend visitors on hand.

Jess Shepard has a combination of power and skill that will be difficult to replace. Brianna Turner is back and ready to be a force on both ends.Jordan Nixon will be fun to watch as she gains experience. I'd like to see her take a few pull-up jumpers.

Abby Prohaska picked up another quick foul ten seconds after she entered the game, but then played with a lot of determination and avoided foul trouble. She was one of several players assigned to hound Harvard's leading scorer from last season, Benzan. They held her to 3 points on 1 of 14 shooting.

Arike is a scorer. Jackie played a solid game and quickly discarded the mask. Mikayla is making progress. She is still a first year player in her development, given all the time she missed since last November's injury. Nicole Benz was just added to the roster and was already in mid-season form!
