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.

Bench Board Bingo - Boston by BabaGhanouj
Remember the game is on Wednesday, not Thursday. Bingo for Boston is a bit bizarre. I threw in some nonsense as usual but also some math—but it’s simple, simple math! No scowling or throwing up your hands in disgust. Come on, the women have to work their butts off for your enjoyment, both on and off the court and in the classroom. The least you could do is refresh a couple of math terms. I had to look them up (on the internet). You can too.
Here’s the card for the Boston College game:
A3 Seems self explanatory, but if I am muddy, as I often am, just ask. The answer will be rounded to the first decimal point. (5 and above is rounded up)
B2 It's FREE, but I would really be impressed if you knew something about the context.
B3 If an odd number of ND players score, there will be a median. If an even number of players score, name a player who scores closest to the median.
C1 OK, this could be tricky. Think about it. The question reads “for all ND players who play”. The answer could also be “none”. Either a name or “none”
C3 …or the last one you recall or is appropriate for a public site. You could also give the title of the last book you wrote.
