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.

Over/under. The last ND-connected LSU coach, Gerry by ndhouston
DiNardo, won 32 games at LSU, 18 in the SEC, when he coached there from 1994 through 1999. Like Brian Kelly, DiNardo had no clue about the unique subculture that is Louisiana, especially south Louisiana.
You can win at LSU with only Louisiana players - that state is the Dominican Republic of the NFL when it comes to players per capita - but I can't imagine Kelly putting forth the recruiting effort to do so. Austin, Texas beckons, as does A&M and Alabama. My guess is that Kelly will get absolutely pantsed in this new job. Swarbrick isn't there to schedule the ACC Coastal instead of the SEC West.
My bet is that Kelly won't beat DiNardo's record for total wins. He'll last 3 years.
