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.

Great post. THere are other internet sites where you can actually have rational discussions about various ND sports. Nott here. Basketball is an exception here. But even with great posters there, mike was roundly berated because of his tourney record a few years ago even though he had a very tough recruiting road and little university support and still won a lot. Thank god he's turned that around. Corrigan has built his program from the ground up and has won a lot at a school with no history in his sport. Why even think about pulling the plug? Because that's the usual course here when lofty exspectations aren't met. Yes, every school has it's nuts, I guess I used to think in my younger day nd was different, I guess I was wrong, st least here.
