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.

The bonds that tie us together by SixShutouts66

Experiences that bind us together even when separated by time are part of the Notre dame culture. To a degree it was self-sorted by those seeking that experience and Admissions looking for the Notre Dame man (or woman). The ND experience changed us, not in the same way, and left us with memories and bonds. It changed us more than we changed the culture.

We shared the ties of an earlier, all-male, ND; but the ND experience goes way beyond that limited world. Terry and his stories will be missed as the memories of anearleir ND become hazier with time and death.
