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.

Of course that's what he repeated by pmcdnd96
In his head, he is the center of the universe. So those kids must think they did something wrong in order for the greatest coach in Notre Dame history to leave them. And dammit, he couldn't come right out and tell them that it was their failure to execute his perfect game plans that led to him wanting to go elsewhere, to a place where the administration isn't always cutting him off at the knees by forcing the players to know how to read and write and actually go to class. So instead, he repeatedly told them it wasn't their fault and graciously allowed them to continue on with their now meaningless lives.
My first marriage was good for one thing: the realization that trying to apply logic and reason to the actions of a crazy person is a waste of time. OK, my kids are pretty good too.
