Rockne's Roundtable

Gas on a fire....... Exactly. Well said^

With all due respect message boards tend to be where 'rumors' are discussed. It cracks me up when I see sanctimonious posts about essentially withholding our thoughts on topics which, by the very fact we drop a 100 plus bucks a year on a pay site, are very important to us.

Where have people been seeing stuff about Jaylon Smith? I have not seen that anywhere

I agree with this, but no matter how many of these posts this board has, things aren't going to change. They still are going to freak out when they hear X player said hi to a U$C recruit, or when Y player drives by a university. People are going to be people, and fans are going to be fans. It's the "fun" of being part of an open message board.

You absolutely have the right to post and ask whatever questions you want on here. I'm not asking you to stop posting all together, I am however asking you to stop posting threads that are ridiculously manufactured lies by U$C fans. Since you and every other VIP member on here pays the 100 plus dollars a year, please feel free to post away. I will pay my 100 plus dollars a year, and exercise my right not to quite possibly jeopardize a recruit's interest to attend the University of Notre Dame.

I agree with NEVER doing anything to jeopardize a recruit desire to be Irish. My post on the rumor was actually a very clear ask of the staff if this was completely bogus.

While admirable, it is futile to ask for board censorship on these things, especially one that is raging elsewhere.

I for one will do my best to not succumb to the inquisitive pull of these rumors, but others will.
