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.

Rupp wasn’t a monster when he got to Lexington. by usaf_irish
He actually coached an integrated team in Illinois. But most people argue that Lexington changed him into the bigot that he was at the end of his career. There’s some minor evidence that he softened a little after he was forced into retirement.
Hall did what he could given the political and social environment in Kentucky at the time. He was t Dale Brown or CM Newton, but he did what he could.
I know it’s deeply unpopular these days to give people a pass because “that was just the era”, but it’s a legitimate argument.
