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.

1988 game by molecular
I was at the 1988 game. It was my second ND game I attended with the first being the 1986 game also in Baltimore. I was a senior in high school and had just finished my ND application. I remember being incredibly disappointed in the game, but had fun sneaking beers while tailgating.
Driving home, we learned that UCLA had lost, and that ND would probably jump from #2 to #1 despite the underwhelming performance.
Back to Saturday’s game- I think it will be a slow start, but I think we will win by double digits. I just don’t see Navy having the talent to compete. I am worried the offense will start slow as we will get cute with our play falling but then we will get into a groove. And bear in mind, I am a natural pessimist and typically expect to lose.
