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.

Recruiting question from a 100% know-nothing. by G.K.Chesterton

My wife and I saw the Marquette women play UConn in Milwaukee this afternoon. because of a TOPSoccer event they had for our special-needs son (big thanks to Marquette athletics for a great time for him).

Both teams have mediocre records, and UConn won 2-1, but here's the question. We noticed that Marquette's starting line-up was 1-2 inches taller on average, but we could see that UConn's players had better wheels, especially two of the forwards (#7 and #13).

Forgetting about foot speed, is there an ideal height for your backs vs. the forwards?
