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.

yes and no... by DavidAddison

our "box seats" story is that my grandparents had them since the 1930's (season tickets when the stadium opened, box by the end of that decade). They were University donors as well. When they passed away apparently the agreement was we would keep the box, which at the time was at the highest level of boxes (I think there were 5 "rows" of boxes and they were in the 5th") somewhere around the 35-40 yard line (toward TD Jesus). Five years after the second of them passed, with the tickets in my dad's and uncle's names, they moved us to basically the 50 yard line, but either the lowest or second lowest row (this was actually considered a downgrade given how low they were. Great views of the ND players on the bench, though!). This was next to the Hickey box. Five years after that they took away the box altogether and moved us to 8 season tickets, originally on the east side of the stadium. When the stadium re-do was done for 1997 they gave my dad the option of moving back to the home side, basically behind the students, which is where we still have season tickets to this day.
