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.

What if BK had replaced BVG w/ competent DC in '15... by Scoop80

That team almost certainly would've made the CFP. What if BK had played for the FG at the end of the '10 Tulsa game? What if he had kicked the PAT up 11 v. NW in '14? What if ND had gotten flagged for 2 men on field w/ same # in '12 Pitt game? What if BK hadn't faced a series of interim USC HC's? What if Trevor Lawrence had been cleared to play at ND last year?

The list of such questions is potentially endless. Going back, what if Monk & LeBlanc had prevailed over Jenkins on keeping TW in '03? What if GOL hadn't fudged his resume? What if Ted & Ned had decided in fall '80 that their prior hire of a HS HC (Brennan) hadn't worked out, so why tempt fate this time? What if Gary Forystek had not suffered a broken collarbone at PU in '77? What if the wind had kicked back up when Harry O lined up for his FG try v. UM in '80?
