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.

My lone Frank Stams story by sprack
The day before the BCS championship in 2012, I was with classmates at the Clevelander Bar in Miami Beach. Anybody who's been there knows they have a big outdoor beer garden and a DJ. He asked someone in the crowd to come up and sing each of the school's fight songs.
An Alabama guy went up and sang theirs, and then a guy went up to sing ours. The DJ introduces him as a guy "who says he played football for Notre Dame". Most of the ND fans immediately recognized him and shouted "Frank!" even before the DJ said his name. It was pretty cool.
