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.

reminds me of Kelly with special teams by grablifebythehorns

Agree wholeheartedly that ND needs to focus on this. Whether it does or not remains to be seen. If we don't win the majority of faceoffs it's pretty simple in that you'll have less possessions and less scoring chances (holding everything else even). Frustrating to say the least since I feel we have an elite offense. I am wondering if this would be the year for us to break and win the title through since Duke and Denver are eliminated on our side of bracket. As lifelong ND fan I fear the worst to come. More heartache (i.e football, hockey, men's and women's basketball falling short despite having some elite teams). Hope I am wrong. I will be in Columbus next weekend bleeding blue and gold. Go Irish!
