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.

The Athletic's Top 25 WBB team in the NCAA era by okerland
ND had two teams mentioned:
#24 - 2010-11 season
#11 - 2000-01 season
"Four of us at The Athletic went through the archives, old box scores and record books to compile a ranking of the 25 most dominant teams since the NCAA added women’s basketball under its governance in 1981 and the NCAA Tournament commenced in 1982. The exercise was made difficult by the lack of women’s college basketball historical information available online (you can’t just pull up Basketball Reference in this case), but we prevailed. These teams not only excelled at the sport but also contributed to its growth and popularity, so we took cultural factors into account, as well."
