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 first heard about that on here a few years ago. by Moff

I asked him about it at an event two years ago and he gave credit to preparation and also to Coach George Allen's dedication to same.

Several years earlier, under Charlie, I saw him looking around the soon to be opened Gug. I asked him how he and his teammates ever won a National Championship without all this "stuff." He smiled and his answer was short and sweet: "We won two."

I have a framed picture with him and Ross Browner on the field before the 2006 Penn State game. I told Ross that he and his teammates were the reason I became an ND fan. He really appreciated it and called Luther over for a picture together. Two great guys and legendary players.
