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 don't believe that ND should back down from the challenge by Fighting_Artichoke

that UConn represents. And to do it just to screw over the Huskies sounds like a horrible reason. What terrible karma!

UConn fans travel well and really care about their team and WBB in general. Why destroy their fanbase (as if we could anyway)? If Muffet chose that route and a few other top programs followed her lead, there would always other teams that would not ostracize Geno and he would always have a challenging OOC schedule. And then we would have lost a great challenge that the whole sport looks forward to for no reason other than personal spite. That would diminish our program in my eyes. I love that Muffet has never backed down from Geno. Her team has never feared the name on the jersey (like most top programs) because of Muffet's unflinching demeanor. To shrink away from a challenge now would be the wrong thing to do on so many levels.
