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 rarity of Saturday's final score. by dbldomer7375

I was impressed with the outcome of Saturday's game, not only with the performance of ND, but also with the lack of performance from GT. I couldn't remember ND rolling over an opponent with such a large margin of victory.

I had some time this morning and went back and looked at games where ND scored more than 55 points. There weren't that many. Here are the dates, scores and opponents where ND scored more than 55 points from 1969 onward. (1969 was my freshman year.)
