I’m also a surgeon.

He looks like he’s does a lot of probing.

 

[Rockin’Irish]

You guys are all word surgeons……proud of you!!!

 

[Valpodoc85]

I also perform surgery

I think the SID (or whatever they call it now) could do a better job of explaining the advantage of some disclosure beyond “personal reasons “ to the player and his family in cases like this. Leaves fans wondering who has cancer and other doomsday stuff.

 

[CHIDomer9]

To be clear, I'm not saying we are owed anything.

What I'm saying is, the handling of a sleep apnea situation as a family emergency that he couldn't leave home for left the internet to speculate, unnecessarily, about many other things.

Just handled poorly by whoever made the decision to categorize it as such. I would rather have the world know I have sleep apnea and it's getting treated versus rampant speculation about my home life problems that don't really exist.

This, but this is not all on ND. While they aren’t under an obligation to share the details, it was clear the beat knew the details for a while. And THIS is what they were holding onto? Why couldn’t they just have reported “personal health?” Instead they treated it as a “we know something you don’t and you’re not important enough to know this.”

I performed a natural insemination on my wife! My wife's OBGYN didn’t think that was funny when I told him. 🤷‍♂️

I’m not a surgeon, but I did stay at a Holiday Inn Express.

I wish him the best and hopefully we see him soon. Love that this young man got his dream of playing for Notre Dame.

However, I find it kind of odd this wasn't just explained from the beginning like any other injury. Why the secrecy and hoopla about a family situation that kept him at home. That opened up a can of worms worth of speculation and conversation that seems very unnecessary given this news.

I have seen in the past that people cover up nose jobs as septum surgeries for apnea/breathing (this was a Hollywood thing) so I wonder if there was just some initial shame/embarrassment involved about why his face may look different? After all these are still very young men who might yet not have learned to ignore the middle aged men who fixate on their abs on fan websites.

Phenomenal news

 

[NDMatt91]

So happy he appears to have gotten the help he needs. He has the tools to be a really good player. You can't teach the speed that he brings to the LB position.

 

[IAIrish]

Awesome news. Glad to hear he's made progress on his personal matters.
On the field, it's great timing to have someone of his caliber coming in fresh for the 2nd half of the season.

 

[Irish#1]

Very good news.

 

[Veritate Duce Progredi]

I'm glad Freeman afforded him the free time needed to get himself right. Our mental and physical states need to be healthy to excel. I'm rooting really hard for Nolan.

Ditto that! Great news for him!!!

Good news he got himself taken care of. I worry though with the pressure of ND football and the ups and downs of college football he could have an easy relapse.

How about maybe, just maybe, a beloved player is back with our Irish squad and whatever he was going through, it was likely far bigger than the ups and downs associated with a season.

Hypothesizing about the worst outcomes isn't really needed. We all know bad things can happen but lets hope for the best and hopefully watch Ziegler become a key piece of this team over the next 2-3 years?

It's easy to imagine the worst. It takes effort and courage to hope for the best and move towards it.

It’s non-stop with some posters. But we all know who. And it’s the same dog shit every post

I hope you are 100% correct. I was not trying to be negative. For him to have whatever issues he has going on and to continue to be a good student and stay in good standings with the team is impressive to me.

And like you this make me cheer and want the absolute best for him.

Who you talking about. This thread seems all positivity?
