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.

UVA loss last night may have secured ND an ACC playoff spot by grablifebythehorns

UVA is now 0-3 in the ACC. We are 1-2 with last ACC game vs UNC coming up. I assume our win over UVA will secure the tie breaker if we happen to finish tied for 4th. Not to be pessimistic but we haven't looked great lately. I hope we can reverse the trend and beat MQ. It will be nice to play someone outside of the ACC to right the ship and get some mojo back. For some reason this team seems different than previous ones. Not sure if it is coaching and/or players. I'd like a championship one of these years but don't think this will be our year.
