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.

Worst and Best Experiences in the 1970's by tsl4264
My worst ND/SC experience is a tie between the 2 games I watched on tv in the dorm - 1972 (my freshman year, AD 6 touchdown game) and 1974 (losing big after a 24-6 halftime lead). My best experience was 1973, standing in the student section watching Eric Penick run for 85 yards to score the TD that gave ND an insurmountable 20-7 lead. A close second on best experience is being in the stands for the 1977 game. I drove up from Austin with my girlfriend (now wife) for her first ND game experience, which included attending the pep rally at Stepan Center the night before.
