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.

They win so they can go with whatever tradition works. by OITLinebacker
Staying and swaying for Alma Mater is nice and all. A good gesture for the students who came out to support. A better gesture would be to win more often. The women's team wins their games and are extremely appreciative of the fans that cram the JACC for them. Unfortunately it isn't a lot of their fellow students, despite the fact that over the last 25 years they've had more finals appearances, more final 4 finishes, and more National Championships than MBB, Hockey, and Football combined all of which see larger student turnouts than WBB. Frankly, I wouldn't mind the other sports doing a bit more of what works for WBB and less of the not winning things they're currently doing.
