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.

That class also had Banks... by brocktoonND
...so we're a little bit of a victim of success (what would have been an anchor of our O-line will now off be cashing big checks on Sundays), but that's the type of outcome that lets us fill up the pipeline with Spindlers and Bakers.
Before concluding the group is inexcusable, I'm inclined to see how things play out with Gibbons (first real opportunity to step up) and Lugg (who seems to have been battling some health issues last year but is a mountain of a man), and that means giving people more time than just 15 practices in the Spring.
