Marketing department honors life, impact of Timothy Gilbride

Courtney Becker | Tuesday, January 29, 2019

Each year, faculty members at Notre Dame are called to do three things: teach, research and serve. Timothy Gilbride distinguished himself in each of these tasks. “He’s one of the most well-rounded people that I’ve ever met,” John Sherry, the Raymond W. & Kenneth G. Herrick Professor of Marketing, said. “In our field, we look

Becker: Missed pass interference call overshadows both conference championships

Courtney Becker | Monday, January 21, 2019

Even after two thrilling NFL conference championship games that both went to overtime and eliminated two No. 1 seeds, there’s one thing that stands out most from Sunday’s matchups: the blown defensive pass interference call in the final minutes of the Saints-Rams game. For those who somehow haven’t heard about it yet, Rams cornerback Nickell

More than items on a list

Courtney Becker | Friday, January 18, 2019

One week into my last semester at Notre Dame and I’m starting to make a mental list of things I want to do before I graduate in May. I’d love to attend one of every Irish team’s sporting events, visit every dorm chapel on campus — for Mass or otherwise — and go to arts

Becker: Criticisms of women’s basketball aren’t always valid

Courtney Becker | Thursday, November 29, 2018

With the WNBA season over and the NBA in full swing, people might have stopped thinking about women’s basketball at this point in the year (cue the commenter claiming no one ever thinks about women’s basketball). But hey, the time is always ripe for a women’s basketball Sports Authority, especially with the start of college

The No. 1 Irish will face both their first road test and ranked opponent of the season against No. 15 DePaul in Chicago on Saturday.

Becker: Bell managed holdout poorly

Courtney Becker | Monday, November 12, 2018

Well, Pittsburgh Steelers fans should be much happier with their current record of 6-2-1 than they were five weeks ago, when the team was at 1-2-1. In large part, the Steelers’ improvement is simply a product of them settling into the season and finding a rhythm — they usually have a few embarrassing stumbles at

Becker: Saban’s dissatisfaction is delusional

Courtney Becker | Tuesday, October 9, 2018

Poor Nick Saban. He’s won five national championships since 2009 as head coach of the Alabama football team, his squad made the College Football Playoff thanks to a controversial decision to prioritize the Alabama-Clemson threepeat and his salary is now over $11 million (something even he thinks is probably not worth it — but he

Becker: Steelers needs to sort out off-the-field drama for on-the-field success

Courtney Becker | Monday, September 24, 2018

Have you been watching this season’s hottest new drama? It really has it all — infighting, shocking twists, complete breakdowns, temper tantrums, betrayals, the list goes on. It’s entertaining, thrilling or infuriating depending on your point of view. It’s called “The Pittsburgh Steelers.” Instead of starting 2-0 and leading the AFC North, as predicted, the

‘Set It Up’ brings life to a dead genre

Courtney Becker | Tuesday, September 18, 2018

Everyone knows the classic and often poorly done romantic comedy tropes — meet-cutes, the quirky best friends, memorable declarations of love, etc. But with its original movie “Set It Up,” Netflix injected new life into a stale genre and produced one of the best films of the summer. With a stellar cast and a refreshing

Becker: Osaka and Williams both deserve better from the tennis community

Courtney Becker | Monday, September 10, 2018

I was sitting in the student section on Saturday when I got a push alert: “Naomi Osaka of Japan upsets Serena Williams in the U.S. Open to win her first Grand Slam in her first appearance in a major final.” I was disappointed, but I didn’t think about the U.S. Open again until I got
