I love the collegiality and banter just as much as the next guy, but it's often clogged up recruiting threads. As a service to members who don't want to wade through all the off-topic posts while looking for news on recruits, and as a compromise to those who want the badinage, any off-topic posts will be aggregated and moved into this thread where you can off-topic to your heart's content.

Please don't take this as permission to clog up recruits' threads with no abandon. And mods, please move off-topic posts in here rather than deleting them outright (unless they warrant the latter).

Cheers

I would laugh my a$s off hysterically. Seriously, the neighbors would be looking outside with puzzled looks and my kids would say, "Oh it's just Dad, he lost 45 lbs, he just laughed his *** off!"

I would never even THINK about putting non-recruit related info into a recruit's thread! I'm insulte that you would insinuate otherwise. Shame on you Phammer, shame on you.

Interesting...but what are you talking about?

Oooh, cool idea. I always hate when we go off on a really interesting tangent and the posts get deleted--almost always justifiably, but still it seems a shame. Maybe mods could leave the first post and then edit to say "See off topic posts thread for further discussion" or something. Not up to me obviously but great idea JPham!

It may seem like a few trivial clicks of work for the staff, but we do have school, work, and families to get to and every little bit of help we can get from you guys would be huge.

I thought that's why you just bestowed Mod status on Beau.

Instead of complaining, why don't you just report the post? When you do this, it will get looked at and taken care of - it's really that simple. This has been requested of you several times...why not just repott the post? Mods can't read every post in every thread within 10 minutes of it being posted. It's simply impossible.

PM me if that is a problem for you.

I am sorry if it sounded like I was complaining. In fact I was trying to explain to the slow minded twits that post this mind numbing putdown of everything non-ND, that they look like bafoons to educated non-ND posters of which there are plenty.

I continue to have a problem to the "weak boys" who want to gang up and be Internet bullies.

I thought I would take care of this one myself, because your time is short, and I believe to have a better environment, everybody has to speak up.

I think you, old mods, new mods, and Jason are doing a fine job. But how are Neanderthals chauvinists here who think everything has to be just the way ND does it now (how they perceive ND does it) or else it his horrible, going to learn if they don't hear it from a broad spectrum of posters?

BeauBenken deleted the post. He agreed with the sentiment of my post.

95 percent of the people on this board are rock solid, good as gold. Isn't it a shame that a visitor from another school will not take that experience from here?

Great post; I agree with you 99% of the way.

The only thing I would say to keep in mind is that football is just a distraction for a lot of people. In the scheme of things it is incredibly unimportant. While it is one thing to be vile, rude, or obscene, one should be allowed to be somewhat of a mindless homer concerning all things ND on an ND football board. People should expect too much from people like us!

And while I agree that there are lots of legitimate reasons for a kid to chose other schools (family, majors, etc.), it really is true that "No one does it like ND." The blend of education and academics sets it apart even from other great schools where the proximity to great academics does not necessarily translate to a challenging education on a regular basis. As far as ND being a better "education" than all of these other schools, that is just way too subjective. However I will say that the quality of the core liberal arts curriculum, the school's reputation, and the networking do make the degree more valuable than most BCS schools-- even if the "education" one got is much harder to quantify.

You have the exact healthy distinction that I was after. Elevate our Lady; don't put down our peers! I am not sure, if you look past the randomness and unconventionality that it is just 99%. Because, in my travels, I have spent time with quite a few members of the Notre Dame community, and they have actually been among the best I have seen at practicing the Golden Rule. That relationship was not lost on me.

Probably better than being excluded from the list

Yeah it really doesn't feel good.

You know, I can never remember anybody when I need to. So I just went off my friends list for a little guidance. You guys are just as solid as the guys I listed. Send me a friend request and let's get this party on the road!

No more Mr. Grumpy Gills!

Derek Tyson ‏@DerekTysonESPN Text from Demarcus Robinson's head coach Chad Campbell: "He is going to Clemson!!" I can't believe a coach would act like this

An SEC fan is surprised that a coach was bought off? Welcome to the dirty South.

Is that the same Chad Campbell that will be announced as a new assistant coach at Clemson in the coming weeks?

yeah I wouldn't go that far but nice try

Are you serious? Have you seen, read, heard about the crap that has gone on there for decades? Please tell me you're not THAT myopic. You're in the wrong place if you're going to try and sell us that the SEC (including FL under Meyer - he's as scum as you can get when it comes to lying to recruits) is clean LOL. Child please...
