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.

The fact that I paused for a moment to consider that... by irishdemon

... speaks volumes.

He really did appear to coach last night as if he didn't want to look "too" good.

Can't blame him for the fumble in the red zone but the end of the half and the utter lack of urgency all night to move the football and stick it in the end zone was maddening. That game should have been 42-3 or 45-3.

Even Dave Pasch acknowledged that ND took their foot off the gas.

That's fine when Nick Saban does it to us because he's already in the playoffs. I don't know why Brian Kelly year after year doesn't understand the value of curb stomping someone - within the confines of class and sportsmanship of course.

Herbstreit's little top-6 vote this morning speaks volumes. He was calling the Ole Miss game last night. He didn't watch ND play - or Oklahoma St. for that matter - he just looked at the God damn final scores.
