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.

It had guys who were suspended from 1989 coming back. by domer4
Stonebreaker and Brooks come to mind.
And in 1990, the Rocket missed all of the Stanford game and 1/2 the PSU game (both losses). Actually - if ND had won just the PSU game they would have played for the national title.
The only drawback to 1990 was Darnell (who crashed and burned somewhere before the Florida Sugar Bowl the next year).
As an aside - put those suspended guys are the 1989 team and they might have won in Miami. But wow, suspend those guys and still go 12-1 against that 1989 schedule - what an amazing amount of talent on those teams.
