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.

As an explanation of why two equally talented teams win by Bruno95
at different clips, this makes some sense, if it's all true. But "they make it easy for you" might also turn off some within this rarified air of elite personalities.
As a recruiting pitch, it should be easy to dismantle. All teams have 22 starters. If you're not playing, at OSU or ND, you're not advancing to the NFL. If you are playing and doing well, at OSU or ND, you will advance to the NFL.
With two baskets for eggs available at ND, why insist on a place that only provides one? I know no one believes he'll fail to make the NFL. But you're not betting against yourself by picking a place that offers the best of both worlds.
