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.

Never saw Les play, but took a bus trip to Chi . . . by Notra_Dahm
to see a double header at the stadium in the early 70's, when I was just beginning to get into basketball. Loyola played Walton's UCLA team, and ND played the Illinois team with Nick Witherspoon on it. UCLA was so much better than Loyola that Walton (I assume) was told not to go down on the offensive side for much of the game. A Loyola player from Michigan City hit all five two pointers he took from distance (this is before the three point line), but not much else of note from that team.
Most of the ND team that would beat UCLA a year later was on the court, with Shumate back from his illness, and Clay and Brokaw also leading the team in scoring along with Gary Novak. But they lost a close, tough battle to the Illini.
