<p>Heat, you are just here to make trouble and you know it. I am Catholic and all I am trying to do is correct you so that others don't believe something that isn't true. You aren't even applying to ND, right, so why do you care what happens here. You have your little heart set on NYU and you are worried sick about the ED there (I know, I have seen the posts) and so why don't you worry about that and let the kids that are worried about ND get the proper information. That is what I care about, but everyone will know who is accurate now in that you attacked my faith. Clearly you have nothing to go on, nothing.</p>
<p>BTW, even Jesus lost his temper when correcting the ignorant Pharisees in the temple.</p>
<p>Actually, most researchers tend to be academics, and most academics are definitely not very pro-athletics, so the researchers, if anything, would be biased against showing a correlation.</p>
<p>If you're going to debate with the big boys, Heat, you have a thing or two to learn (about debate, if not this issue). It is a fact that applications go up with athletic success. Live with it.</p>
<p>Actually I'm not applying to NYU at all. I'm sharing this name with my brother who is applying there, he's also applying to ND. Hostility was never intended by my posts. Please relax peope. Debate with the big boys? Get off a high school message board docmom and get a life. I just expected a light discussion about the school, not bashing and name-calling. Please...get off your high catholic horses, I'm glad ND isn't my brothers first choice.</p>
<p>"Are you catholic? Aren't we on the message board for a catholic university? You're awfully hostile, if you're spreading the word of our Lord." -Heat24</p>
<p>Heat, you said this in order to be insulting and hostile, no other reason. Don't try to take the high road now, you are the one who drug it down. </p>
<p>I agree with Docmom, anyone who looks at your debate on this will just laugh because you brought nothing. Stats, research, anything, give us a challenge. Calling names and bringing statistics that are not applicable are just kind of funny. Again, don't go to law school, or be a Philosophy major for that matter. I wish your brother luck in getting into NYU.</p>
<p>Heat24, telling an ND parent to "get off a high school message board and get a life" just because she wants to help people learn about the school her son goes to and she loves? Im sorry man, but that is just a childish insult. If you have such a problem with Catholics and ND, why don't you just stop posting on the ND message board so you don't have to deal with it?</p>
<p>wow, OK guys. We need to just drop the subject and start going back to the usual topics of telling hopeful kids that they aren't going to get into the school of their dreams, but to keep their heads up! (haha j/k) This is my 2nd post that has turned into an argument... i just need to stop i guess.</p>
<p>jhoopster, don't feel responsible for this, I let it go on way too long. This was in no way your fault and I don't want you to stop posting here because of it. I will try to keep better control of myself next time. Sorry!</p>
<p>haha, no problem irish. thanks for all the help you have given me over the past year and a half and have fun at the game today, if your going. I'll be watching from home. Go Irish!</p>
<p>I was at the game, and unfortunately it didn't end like we wanted, but man did this team have heart and fight back! That is what mattered to me (that and how horrible the MSU players were afterwards, that was inexcusable)</p>
<p>i agree...that was sad how they planted their flag in the field. could you imagine what charlie weis would do if his players did that? im sure that the msu coach will make sure their legs don't forget what a dumb move that was.</p>
<p>complete and uder disrespect. They blew a 17 point lead and won only because of outdated and pitifull OT rules. Their players should have known that they barely squeaked by and they should be thankful just to walk off the field with a W. Just gotta wait till next year when ND goes up to East Lansing, cause the Irish and Weis will have revenge in their heads...</p>
