I also forget what hall it was at the time, but a female dorm decided to counter our 'Bun Run' with a 'Tittie Trot.' 2 girls ran. Hee-hee. Nice cans, though.

I actually think his actions are showing his LACK of character. When you're 12 years old, you react and make decisions when you're angry and in the heat of the moment. When you're an adult, you step back and accept the possibility that you were out of line and you look at the broader good (the integrity of Notre Dame and what it represents). From that perspective you can also see that one semester/year away is not going to be the end of the world (Jones, Walls, et al, as an example). To me, I see his actions as extremely selfish, short sighted and one he'll regret for the rest of his life.

Ummm, if you read my post I said he is showing a lot of maturity for not bad mouthing anyone or saying too much. I said he is making a decision that is best for him. Two different statements.

That being said, who do you think you are that you can sit here and say he is making the decision in the heat of the moment. You have no idea how he arrived at the decision. Step down off the self-righteous horse and don't speak of things you don't know anything about unless you were there. You have no right to say what he is doing is wrong or anything about what he should or shouldn't have done based on only the facts we know from what we have read on these boards.

What you are saying, is that if, at your job, if you don't finish a task and your boss comes down on you with, what you deem to be, an unreasonable level of punishment, you just sit there at take it and get back to work 100% of the time? You salute and say, "Yes sir! You are right sir! Won't happen again!" and you get right back to work? Bullshit! If it is truly bad and if you deem that your quality of life is more important than the crap you are taking at work, you find another job. And, please don't give me the "loyalty to your team" line and blah, blah, blah. At this level of sports it is big business. College athletics are a job. If you have this romantic idea that there is all this comaraderie, pep talks, and syncronized clapping to motivate players, then you are delusional. It is hard mother f'ing work to play Division 1 college athletics. If it wasn't worth it to Joseph at this point in time, it is his decision to make and he should "take his ball and go home." His education is #1 and if he feels he needs to make a change to further his academic and athletic career, then that is what he needs to do.

He is an adult and he did what he thought was best for him. Who are we to sit here and criticize the young man for it? Best of luck to him where ever he goes. I don't know what went on, but I have played D1 college sports, I know the rigors and stresses of his job, and I am not going to throw stones at him.

US Airways flight diverted after passenger takes off his clothes

Absolutely no truth to the rumor that it was a former ND fooball player flying home.

Nor is there any truth to the rumor that when asked about it he commented, "That's funny, wish I had though of that. Ya know, it's not like he's a predator."<!-- google_ad_section_end -->

Fauria can clear the air by simply telling what he did to warrant a suspension. I suspect he is too embarrassed to talk about it for fear a long lingering hassle by the student body. Running away neither strengthens his character or the image he has of himself.

His decision to run away from the problem does nothing to strengthen his character or enhance his image in the eyes of many.

I don't think Joe owes anybody a damned thing, let alone an explanation of what went down. What's done is done, let it go. Joe has made his decision to transfer, it's high time we all let him go with his decision and what he feels is best for him. It's his life, not ours, shit, I've read some of the other boards and there are some serious retards on them who think Joe owes them something.

Good luck Joe with whatever your future holds.

What a bullshit response. He was mistreated by the Office of Residence Life, as were many other Notre Dame students (including athletes) in recent years. He doesn't owe anyone an explanation and he is not "running away." He has every right to feel the way he does after what happened.

I don't think he has any illwill toward the School or the team. Just got butthurt over the reslife situation. Unlike other transfers, i liked Fauria, Cali kid, seemed to be well liked by his teammates. I hope he tears it up at UCLA. Always had a soft spot for the Bruins personally so to me its all good. Still would rather see him rocken the REAL golden dome.

The most we can hope for is Fauria taking it to USC on a yearly basis. Good luck to the man.
