[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]A friend’s son goes there and I have heard some negative things about the “cult” like atmosphere at GZ. Most parents are “all in” and actively shower the school with nothing but praise and love. A sense of superiority is cultivated in students from day one. Some spin this as creating a strong brotherhood, but for others it is a bit much. There are parents who want a strong Catholic education for their sons but who don’t want to drink the kool aid. I’ve also heard about horrible sportsmanship shown by some of GZ’s teams, which is not embraced by all parents. [/quote]

Last year a Gonzaga boy was arrested with brass knuckles and a pellet gun on his way to a SJC football game. Every year the students vandalize other schools in the name of "school spirit"[/quote]

I've been to multiple lacrosse and football games, both home and away, over the past four years and have heard nothing about GZ students acting out and/or vandalizing host schools, nor have my sons mentioned anything, nor have we parents gotten communications from the school regarding behavior at sports events.  I've attended double digit events in small stadiums where obnoxious behavior would've been noticed easily and I've personally seen nothing that would track with what you're saying.

Not saying none of this happened, but I'm definitely leaning towards "you're making sh*t up" POV here.[/quote]

Well if you didn't hear about it then it must not be true....LMAO 
Understandable that not everyone knows about the arrest, but you have to live under a rock to not know about the vandalism. Just like the comments from the head of both schools this year telling the students to tame it down... (where do you think that came from????)[/quote]
