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.

Revisiting an old topic with new relevance by BabaGhanouj
I was roaming through some old Bench polls and quizzes, thinking of possible new ones, when I came across this:
This may have been one of my first interactive offerings to the Bench—in March of 2017. Not much has changed as 90.3% voted “Yes”. That was 84 out of 93 votes. (Hopefully what has changed is the community has grown in the last 3 years.)
While Benchers were attuned to Coach McGraw’s wishes—Dara says she received an offer—ND and Dara were not aligned at that time. A national championship, a couple of points away from another, a coaching change, and a transfer have brought Notre Dame and Dara together. (Posted just for the memory.)
