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.

The staff and the local media folk for years touted this kid by Irishdemon

So many of us never saw it on the field. A quick flash in the 2018 Michigan game but that was it. He never ran hard. He never made plays. He never broke tackles. Yet for years the podcasters claimed Armstrong was a difference maker and would be a major, elite contributor once he was healthy. I never saw it. And I’m pretty sure these media guys were getting their pro-Armstrong rhetoric from the staff.

It makes me question what people are looking at in South Bend. Like losing to Georgia by one point with Freddie Canteen and Cam Smith playing receiver while Boykin and Claypool rode the bench.

I wonder when Jordan Johnson is playing in the NFL some day, if we’ll wonder if he could have helped against Clemson and Alabama in 2020.
