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.

Does your family still have the box? I never saw a game by Hickster
from the box. My dad was the only one of the six sons that moved out of the South Bend area. He met my mom in Boston during WWII when he was in the Naval V12 program, when my dad and other ND Naval Officers were training in the Naval Supply program at Wellesley College, before being shipped out to Pearl Harbor.
My dad had to go back to ND and get his last semester of credits in 1947, to get into his MBA program back in the Boston area. My parents decided to settle in the Boston area.
So my uncles in South Bend controlled the tickets after my grandfather passed away in 1966.
