Congrats to your son. What year is he? Our daughter was unable to get in even with the "family name," but I think it's in part because her father writes scathing posts about ND's "management" sometimes. Anyway, our niece is a freshman there which is nice.

I saw you said your son was in the band. He might appreciate this short video (that was taken after a number of beers so excuse the focus), but it was great because it "fit" right in with a post his dad did. Some things just work out so well; of course, ND lost this one which wasn't fun ... but ...

Thanks! My son is in his fourth year - he's in the School of Architecture, which is a five-year program, so he'll be back on the field for one more year.

I enjoyed seeing that, thanks. The Band (all 380 of them) really becomes like a family within the Notre Dame Family. It's been wonderful for us to be associated with such a great tradition.

Notre Dame was my son's dream school, and despite the liberals running the place, he still loves it. We live in a tiny Ohio town and are most definately middle-class; I'm proud of my son for being admitted and am grateful he had the opportunity.
