For the final time this regular season, the Irish are gearing up for a match-up away from Compton Family Ice Arena. That actually may not be as great as it sounds. The Irish own a stellar 8-2-0 record on the road this regular season. But with a home series against Penn State and the Big

The good news for the Irish (10-11-1, 8-9-1-1-2-1 Big 10) is that they are due for some goals this weekend. The bad news is that feeling is the result of consecutive 3-0 losses to the Minnesota Golden Gophers last weekend. After scoring 14 goals against Ohio State the weekend prior, the Irish peppered Minnesota goalie

Though many may not realize it, the average college football team (and the No. 2-ranked Notre Dame team) actually runs very similarly to a Broadway play. While all of the attention goes to lead actors and quarterbacks, and supporting actors and skill position players also get some spotlight, there are countless names the casual viewer

We’re getting down to the nitty gritty as the trade deadline approaches throughout fantasy football leagues. Coming off yet another massively entertaining weekend of NFL action — whether that entertainment came via Tom Brady and the Buccaneers getting embarrassed or from the Jets possibly taking an intentional dive to increase their chances of drafting Trevor

Sam Ouhaj Must start: T.J. Hockenson, TE, Detroit Lions George Kittle and Zach Ertz are both hurt and are out presumably till the end of the season. This has left fantasy owners scrambling for a new tight end, and the answer to that is T.J. Hockenson. Hockenson has established himself as TE-1 in Detroit and

Sam Ouhaj Must play: Justin Herbert, QB, Los Angeles Chargers Justin Herbert has been on a tear since taking over the starting role in LA. My favorite to win OROY, Herbert perhaps is having the best rookie quarterback season we have seen since Patrick Mahomes (2018) and Dak Prescott (2016). While Herbert’s success has not

You know the drill. Fantasy Corner Week 7 — let’s get to it. Sam Ouhaj Must start: Matthew Stafford, QB, Detroit Lions Stafford has always been a Quarterback who looks great sometimes and at other times, looks like he is completely lost. However, the one thing Stafford has going for him is facing up

Even baseball’s biggest detractors have to admit that this year’s postseason has been pretty great. The larger-than-usual field didn’t dilute the quality of play in the later rounds, as this year’s tournament was just as — if not more — exciting than most, even if fans have only been allowed to attend the NLCS and

It’s time for another rendition of the Observer Fantasy Football Corner. No time for small talk. Let’s get to it. Sam Ouhaj Must Start — Derrick Henry, RB, Tennessee Titans In what feels like a lifetime, the Titans finally played their first game in two weeks against the Buffalo Bills last night. However, this

While this may be the longest postseason ever in terms of games played, the time has flown by since the MLB postseason began two weeks ago. We’ve made our way from sixteen teams, six more than any postseason field ever, down to the final four, with those teams just four wins away from earning the
