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.

Women aren't up to their usual expectations, but cruising. by SavageDragon
We were up 9 after the men's results, and the women are currently +3, +2, and -3 relative to PSU on the three weapons, so barring a collapse on the final day, ND is in great shape:
Saber - Linder (the distaff version) will almost certainly make the medal round, whereas both PSU sabreuses are on the outside looking in from quite a ways back (as is ND's second)
Foil - Likely that both ND's Berthier and PSU's Catantan will make top-4, and both ND and PSU have a fighting shot at a second berth among a gaggle of folks tightly packed 3-9.
Épée - ND's Hsieu and PSU's Gavrilko both sit in top-4 position going into the last day, but ND's Grady is lurking in 5th, while PSU's 2nd is 2 bouts and innumerable touches back in 8th.
