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.

ND did not make the VB NCAA Tourney yet by JerseyShoreIrish
the ACC did not get much love. Only three teams made it. NC, FSU, & Pitt were inked to the brackets. The most surprising was Pitt (who ND swept 3-0 earlier this season). The committee left Duke (had a better conference record than Pitt) and GT (tied with Pitt in the ACC) out. ND's midseason swoon, due largely to injuries, hurt this team. But there are a lot of positives for the years ahead. Charley Niego, Class of 18, has been discussed as a Player of the Year in at least one Volleyball publication. Congrats to the team and the coaches for a surprising season.
