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.

Brooke VanDyck's height is one of the best kept secrets by BabaGhanouj
on the internet, but I had tracked it down as 5'3" and posted as such in an earlier post. However, like FightingIrishRadio, I compared her to Sabrina in videos and thus my comment "(and that may be generous)". Here is the story where I found her height reported. Who's knows how accurate it is? All this is more or less in fun, since, like Dillon, I have no problem with her height to the point that it seems to help her soccer game. Like Sabrina, no one's has much of a chance to take the ball away one-on-one. She seems poised to make a big difference in ND soccer.
