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.

Dramatic finish for women - underwhelming Sunday for men by lavieenor
After a domininant performance individually on Saturday the men beat BC and Duke, but lost to North Carolina on Sunday for a 2nd place finish on the day.
The women on the other hand had a dramatic finish to win the ACC Championship. They had a fence off against Duke where there was one bout to 5 touches in each weapon happening simultaneously and the team that won the best 2 out of 3 would be the champion. Delsoin lost a closely contested saber bout 5-4 and then Pirkowski won in epee 5-3 a few minutes later. Conway was still fencing at that point and ended up winning that bout 5-3, giving the women the 2024 ACC Championship.
