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.

We would have lost the Toledo game by roccoglobboschoolforwomen
more often than not from my earliest childhood memory through 2016.
Think of it this way: In the 20 years of Davie, Ty, Weis, and Kelly 1.0 ND lost to a team that finished unranked 48 times. That's nearly 2.5 losses to unranked teams per season.
After we beat the Stanford Cardinal on Saturday evening, Kelly 2.0 will have completed all 5 years without a single loss to an unranked team.
Now, you ultimately can't just write off Kelly's first 8 years when judging him, but it's undeniable that Kelly 2.0 has brought the program up a tier. And the recent recruiting momentum (landing some top tier kids that we've been missing out on for decades) indicates that the ceiling has not yet been reached.
