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.

I saw some of the Wisconsin-Army game last night. by G.K.Chesterton
Mertz only attempted 15 passes and fumbled the ball away once to Army. Badger fans are tiring of him.
Wisconsin ran the ball 43 times and only won by six points. Wisconsin is not a good team and it's amazing that they are currently favored in the Purdue game on the road this coming Saturday. Despite all that, they still have their fate in their hands because of Iowa's loss on Saturday.
One trivia note from the game: I did learn that the wo Chanal brothers who play for Wisconsin are from the small town of Grantsburg and have 14 other brothers and sisters.
