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.

Wrong board, but by fightingamish

my family tree has 6 Duquesne grads including my wife and one of our sons.

After years of being widely recognized as the worst coaching job in the A10, Keith Dambrot, the son of a DU basketball player from the 50s, took on the job that had resulted in the last 7 coaches being fired. He said he took the job because he was tired of his Dad complaining about how bad Duquesne had become.

Duquesne plays tough D with a deep bench. Their offense is a bit helter skelter, so they can be very streaky. Their roster has 8 seniors, grad students, or grad transfers, so this was probably the best shot they are going to have for a while.

With ND in the infancy of rebuild, it's been fun to have another team to follow.
