[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Well their numbers the week were better than they were the week before.  We'll give them another week but I'm not expecting all the drama everyone lashed out at them about.

I'm not a ND fan but I am so pulling for them to crush this year because everyone is squawking at them.  The kids are happy on campus and having classes far better than most colleges.  They are not killing off their professors and the neighboring townsfolk as was predicted.  They are diagnostic and surveillance testing responsibly and reacting appropriately as needed.  By having some semblance of a residential year the school is not hemorrhaging the millions and millions of dollars that other schools are.  Honestly - to be they are showing up a lot of other schools who couldn't be bothered to try to make it work and will be crying for funds [/b]next year. [/quote]

[b]+100 My son is there and he is having a blast...relatively speaking.  Being able to experience that game last week is going to be unforgetable.  He is working hard, spending time with his good friends in his bubble, and getting ready for exam week and to head home.  I couldn't be prouder of him and am grateful he is having some semblance of normal.  it is going to be a rough couple of months being stuck at home, but hoping he can get back again in February.[/quote][b]

Stop Notre Dame Mom! Listen to yourself:  “My son .. this and that” “Me me me”. Where is the concern for others and responsible behavior? I don’t care how happy your son are is at Notre Dame. How can you be so selfish? This has been awful for the community. First the football team gets it. Then Fr. John gets it at the mask-less White House party. Now this irresponsible surge into the field! Yes cases are up in Indiana. More cases on the football team were announced this past week. Fr. John called the surge onto the field “disappointing” last Friday. And three days ago Coach Kelly said Notre Dane “ wasn’t doing enough” to confront the virus. This is a PR disaster and is not helped by moms bragging how much fun their son is having -without any regard for anyone else - at Notre Dame. Button it.[/quote]

[b]Why?  It is true.  He has classes in person (4 out of 5).  He is living with his roommates on campus (not sitting at a computer in the basement).  He is going to football games!!  He got to see ND beat Clemson.  He is independent and living college life.  Hey, he even can sit by a fire pit right outside his dorm.  All good.  Some people got sick.  We knew that was going to happen.  DS hasn't been contact traced or gotten the virus, so he is going to come home next week without having missed a beat during the semester.  COVID is not killing students.  Nobody at ND has died from COVID.  Why don't you "button it" PP.

Are you not capable of learning anything?  The PP said you showed no empathy and only talked about yourself and your son.  Look at what you wrote in response:  "He . . " "He . . " "He . . ." "He . . " "He . . " "He . . . " then "all good"!  You have zero capacity to observe a situation and think about anyone other than your son or yourself.  That's why the PP said "button it". You are harming the school by your selfish attitude.[/quote]

I do not have to button it lol.  I can write about whatever I want on any forum on this website.  So, once again, all good!  He already found out he got a 95 on one of his finals.  Coming down the home stretch!!  Notre Dame is an awesome place...even during a pandemic.  At least he is having a life.  J[b]ealous much?[/b]   If you no like...do not click.  LOL[/quote]

Uh, no.  My kid is at Balliol College, Oxford University.[/quote]
