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.

If you had to assign points to gold, silver, and bronze, by G.K.Chesterton
which system would you come up with? I realize that for many, it's only about the golds, but silver and bronze should mean something as well. I just wondered if anyone had ever come up with an agreed-upon point system. What about one of these formulas?
Gold - 10
Silver - 5
Bronze - 2
OR
Gold - 10
Silver - 4
Bronze - 1
Back to your point. It's a great look for ND and the Paris Olympics are only three years away, so maybe many of these same ND athletes will be back (I doubt it for the med school fencers). I am hoping maybe Nuguse can try again and that other ND athletes will be ready to in three years for the Olympic trials.
