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.

Roster Updates from BK press conference by StetsonDan

As noted in a post below, WR Lawrence Keys has left the team. He's planning to sit out the season, graduate from ND, and transfer to another program.

TE Kevin Baumann is out for approximately the next 6 weeks with a broken fibula.

LT Blake Fisher is out for approximately the next 8 weeks with a meniscus injury.

LB Shayne Simon is out for the season with a torn labrum.

LB Paul Moala had surgery for an Achilles injury (the other foot after tearing Achilles last year).

Due to the injuries to Simon and Liufau, LB Prince Kollie has been moved inside from the Rover position and is now in the two-deep.

Because there's not much depth at Rover now, WR Xavier Watts has been DCEd to the Rover linebacker position.

Jordan Botehlo and C'Bo Flemister are still "unavailable" for this week.
