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 was offered a ticket this afternoon by a buddy by El Kabong
I'm going to attend because he's a good friend, our mutual friends will throw an awesome tailgate, and I'm inclined to go to the game because I think ND will win and I won't have to pay any actual cash to attend.
This doesn't make me any better or worse a fan than friends of mine I know who didn't put in for tickets because they're sick of the noise from the Tron and think driving back to Chicago at 1am is bullshit. Their position is 100 percent valid, and up until three hours ago, I was one of them.
People willing to call other ND fans "bad fans" because they think the bullshit that Kelly and Swarbrick are wreaking on what used to be an outstanding product can go fuck themselves sideways.
