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.

Some interesting tidbits from Prister's recent article by ribs

Linked below, and on the NDN home page. Among Prister's thoughts:

-Hubb and Cormac are the "alpha dogs", in that order.
-The team as a whole has benefitted from offseason conditioning. I know, I know. We read this every year.
-freshman Tony Sanders might be the best athlete on the team
-"This is a program on the rise once again. The Irish should be a strong NCAA tournament contender if they can stay healthy". Here's hoping this is true. Prister might be more optimistic than me at this point.
