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.

ND women one of 6 ACC teams in-take on the Ivy League in 1st by Domerduck

the first two games-Cornell, then the winner gets #5 seed Princeton. If they survive that they get the winner out of the Louisville/James Madison vs #4 seed Penn State in order to make the final 4.

Well at least its not our usual Northwestern bracket who is stuck needing to get past #1 Seed Maryland. Those two along with PSU were the lone Big 10 entries. The other two brackets have #2 seed NC with Virginia and Penn (3rd Ivy team) in one and #6 Seed Syracuse taking on Boston College/Canisius winner then needing to go through #3 Florida vs USC/Jacksonville survivor.

It's a reasonable bracket for us but we have to still beat Princeton on their field which we didn't due earlier in the season when we lost 14-8. Overall ND was 11-7 with all our losses coming to tournament teams. We also beat 3 tourney entries (Cuse, Duke, & Louisville).

Good luck to the ND women. It would be awesome if both the men's and women's teams could make it to Gillette stadium for the Final 4.
