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.

Corvallis for 44 yrs but U of-O Eugene got me here for grad by Domerduck
school in 1978 with my new wife a year after I graduated from ND. So I lived in Eugene for two years then which is only 40 miles from Corvallis. I have season tix in football and wbb for both the Ducks and Beavers as I like to support both schools. I also go down to several Eugene Hayward field track meets as it is a World Class facility (best in the USA) which Phil Knight's money certainly was very much involved. Eugene has hosted many international meets including the World Athletics Championships (2022) and the Diamond League championship (2023), many US OLympic trials including this June, and NCAA T&F championships also this Junen Track so I often find the time to take the trip. Hopefully we will see a few ND athletes in Eugene again this year in both the Olympic Trials and NCAA NC.
