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.

Absolutely. One story. by Czeche
My father (who does not follow sports, esp. sports he never heard of growing up like american football) came to visit me in my dorm, but didn't know where my room was. One of the guys in the dorm approached him, and learning that he was looking for me, showed my father where my room was. I don't think my dad even understood what I meant when I pointed out to him later that ND's starting quarterback had shown him where my room was. ("oh is that a hard position to play at? He seemed very intelligent")
Overall, the players are fully integrated into the student body. However, with the workloads they have, only a few have time to "hang out" on a regular basis, and so many often stick with a few close friends.
