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.

All PAC12 NCAA Women's final-Stanford/UCLA-No ACC team in by Domerduck

the final for the 2nd straight year. This is the first time that back to back years that we haven't had an ACC team (including ND) in the Final. From 1982 to 2015, the only years when an ACC team/ND was not in the final was 2002 (Portland beating Santa Clara) and 2005 (Portland beating UCLA).

PAC12 will now have its fifth champion in the last 11 years which matches ACC/ND championships over the same period. Prior to that the ACC/ND had 20 out of the first 25 championships (mostly North Carolina). ND still will be second in total championships at 3 as either Stanford or UCLA will get their second.
