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.

One other 'thing' about schedules -- by irishdemon
When comparing prior schedules to what Kelly faces or faced - people have a tendency to use the rankings of the teams at the time of the games for the old schedules but don't afford Kelly that same courtesy.
I'm not here to argue the 2001 schedule and the overall point that Kelly has faced 'easier' schedules than his predecessors - which he has but there should be some consistency in the comparisons when it comes to the AP rankings of their opponents.
For example, Kelly would never get the credit here for beating the absolute dog shit out of the #7 and #12 teams in the nation in 2018 - which he did.
This is not a defense of Kelly either - so save the pelting with empties.
