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 don't know how you conclude that by HTownND

There is an obvious monkey on our back when it comes to the NCAA tournament.

But we just need to keep getting opportunities, we'll break through.

Maybe I have more patience because LAX didn't have scholarships when I was in school and I knew guys on the team (LAX equipment bags were the best for getting beer and booze to the dorm from D6), but we've come a long long long long way since that time.

The last time we missed the NCAA tournament was 2005.

Corrigan will break through at some point against Duke and or Denver. We just have to keep qualifying and getting after it.
