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.

Address correction: Rockne's address was 1006 E. St, Vincent by Hickster
Street and my grandfather's home was on 1004 E. St. Vincent Street. There were 4 lots purchased by my grandfather from Notre Dame for approximately $1,500. He built both homes and Rockne was the first to live in 1006 E. St. Vincent. This was sometime around 1917. My grandfather sold the other two lots.
In 1973, right after my grandmother passed away, the house was sold. Two Notre Dame professors were interested in the house. Instead of outbidding for the house, they flipped a coin and the English Professor won and the Sociology Professor lost. The house was later sold to the third occupant.
