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.

I never passed PE. I made 200 yard for the 20 minute run. by ODSCHOOL

I walked from the Main Gate to the Pay Caf, got a chocolate malt, and walked back to the main gate. O'Sullivan busted my balls for not lying. I refused to do a twenty minute run . I knew I would hurt myself. I offered to do a 5 mile swim, but they (Noel) wouldn't accept it. After the season was over I never went back to gym. Senior year I went to see Dean Waddick to get my schedule signed. I told him I needed to pass gym. He laughed and told me that he had never made a Senior take gym.

Coach Stark, while one of the great men at ND and a marine, was loathe to fight any sort of power.
