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.

That makes what, seven of us? Look at the viewership numbers on those streams on the exhibition games in November- the online-only ones where they tell you how many people are watching. I swear at one point I looked over and it was under 100. Now granted, it's a preseason game against the Sisters of the Poor, but if it were UNC, Kansas, etc. there would certainly be thousands watching.
Basketball is still far, far behind football in interest among ND fans. Hell, I'm in an email chain of 25 ND fans to discuss football recruiting, and two of us care about basketball enough to know our starting five. A few others will watch the big games. The rest will tune in at March Madness, maybe.
