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.

correct. PSU is 2nd now, but it is very unlikely they will by thedeadguy
be in the top 3 at the end.
OSU men are ranked #1 and have 12 fencers. They are very good. A 19 point lead is huge. Columbia men are ranked 3rd and also have 12 fencers. A nine point lead is important.
Our men are ranked 4th. However, our men were ranked #1 earlier in the season and we have a lot of talent and experience.
The lead is helpful. It would be nice to grow it, but hopefully it provides enough of a cushion to win the NC even if the men do not beat OSU and Columbia outright .
