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 lived one door away from Buster in Farley Hall by BeijingIrish

He came to ND with all sorts of hype, but he was always humble. One of the nicest guys you'll ever meet. Also, one of the slowest which turned out to be a problem. I am happy for the success Buster achieved at Richmond, as well his very successful career in business/law.

I had forgotten Pergine played qb. There have been a lot of tough guys who played football at ND, and Pergine is one of them. He was terrifying. I had a really good friend on the team, a halfback, who often said Pergine was the toughest guy on a team of tough guys and the guy he most hated to see opposite during tackling drills. Page? No. Duranko? No. Pergine. Yes.

I believe the player from Kansas you are thinking of is Dave Martin. Dave was from Kansas City, went to a Catholic h.s. in the KC suburbs (Bishop Miege?).
