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.

BYU losing in NCAA's is always a good thing... by Scoop80
My program memories date back to Carr, and the '81 S16 loss remains the all-time worst feeling I've ever had in following ND MBB. No other game comes close.
For 2d time in 5 years in S16, Digger tried to sit on a 14 pt 2d half lead too early, and, as in '77, it blew up in his face. In '77, there was the late drive by Phil Ford. In '81, there was...well, you know.
In '77, he had an epic recruiting class coming in that fall. In '81, that class was leaving w/o anything worthwhile to replace it.
It was a visible watershed moment from which Digger never really recovered in his remaining 10 seasons.
