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.

He was a really nice guy. by campuszoo
When I was at ND (75-79) the Chicago Bulls and the Milwaukee Bucks played a preseason game at the ACC. A buddy of mine and I walked over to see the game. We noticed Jerry Sloan sitting in the stands, so we decided to go over and ruin his evening with questions. He was actually there on business as a scout. Sloan was remarkably tolerant conversing with a couple of jamokes while still watching the game and writing notes on his clipboard.
Sloan played the game with everything he had to give and got every last drop out of the ability God granted him. If there was a floor burn hall of fame, Jerry Sloan would have a plaque hanging.
