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.

I completely agree with everything you've said here by El Kabong
My issue is the number of people who blow this place off after a win but will show up to repeat the same complaints over and over after a loss is significantly higher than posters who will come here to celebrate after a win but not post all that much after a loss.
At a basic level, the people participating here are supposed to be fans of the program. While it's certainly possible for fans to criticize things that go on with the program -- God knows I've done enough of that on the football side -- I have a hard time understanding why people in the first group would be fans of this program in the first place.
