Ryan “Homie” Quan of Morrissey Manor def. James “Italian Scallion” Sylvester of Knott Hall In the first bout of Ring B, Quan came out swinging, delivering a flurry of punches on Sylvester with so much fury that the fighters backed into the referee, causing him to tip onto his back and nearly off the stage.

I requested my Notre Dame admissions file [NOT CLICKBAIT]

Aidan O'Malley | Wednesday, January 18, 2023

Title; it was disappointing (I guess it was clickbait). But we’ll get to that part later. Your first question may be: How? My thanks to the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act, or FERPA. Remember that box you checked on the Common App when you submitted your letters of rec? You were waiving your FERPA

This year — my senior year — I’m living off-campus. It was about damn time. I enjoyed dorm life, don’t get me wrong, but there’s only so many communal showers, air condition-less nights and flying rodents a man can handle before he snaps and signs a lease. I’ve always thought of myself as independent, so

My year of cringe

Aidan O'Malley | Tuesday, March 1, 2022

“Your YEAR of cringe? What about the other 20??” Silence. It’s my Inside Column and I get to tell the jokes. Recently, I’ve realized my most fundamental character trait — my greatest blessing, but my worst curse — is self-awareness. Actually, I’ve thought this for a while. I’m not sure why, where or from what

Scene’s Best Albums of 2021

Every year, the cultured denizens of The Observer’s culture section come together to rank the best albums of the year. The process is long and tiring, involving a complicated Excel spreadsheet (the formulas for which we barely comprehend).  Often, there are casualties — this year, there were several.

Stop me if you’ve heard this before: 2020 was an unprecedented year.  Nowhere was this truer than on the screen, both silver and small. Barely any films were released theatrically, and television (rather, streaming) dominated our media appetites like never before.  2021 — while frustratingly similar to the year that came before — at least

This Thursday, Feb. 16, the 93rd annual Bengal Bou This Thursday, Feb. 16, the 93rd annual Bengal Bouts will begin its preliminary rounds. A men’s boxing tournament that benefits the Holy Cross Mission in Bangladesh, Bengal Bouts seems to perfectly combine two integral aspects of Notre Dame’s identity: a passion for sports and a commitment to social impact.

This week, From the Archives takes a long overdue look at the history of Bengal Bouts. While this tournament predates the Observer by nearly four decades, we uncovered a selection of stories that capture at least a part of the rich history of this Notre Dame tradition.

That game was a heartbreaking loss for a Notre Dame team that had started 6-0 before stumbling down the stretch to a 7-5 record. A bowl game win over LSU salvaged some optimism for the program’s future, but that loss to Northwestern was a shocking result that contributed to one of the more appalling stretches of Irish football in the Brian Kelly era.
