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.

Agree that the 20-21 Irish need a grad transfer or two by Irishdog80
and preferably a big man, space eater with the physicalness that will take some of the pressure off of both Durham and Laszewski plus the two incoming freshman big men. That said, Marfo and Anosike did play against each other...both are around the same size--6'6" to 6'8" and around 245 pounds. Marfo had a better game and overall did well in a slightly better conference than Anosike did. The box score from their game against each other is posted below.
Bottom line, it's easy to pile up stats in a MAAC or NEC versus the ACC. The question is are they meaningful and do they translate to tougher competition...fundamentals versus just being a better athlete than your competition.
