Daniel O'Boyle | Wednesday, May 2, 2018

English soccer in 1996 was anything but “The Beautiful Game.” Many of the best players were visibly unfit; many were known to drink the day before games and pay no attention to their diet; tactics that weren’t a bland take on the classic English 4-4-2 formation were universally rejected and players who weren’t British or

Notre Dame offensive coordinator Chip Long talked about some of the pieces of his 2018 offense, including sophomore quarterback Avery Davis and junior wide receiver Chase Claypool, after practice Thursday.

O’Boyle: Players and fans lose out in Thursday Night Football

Daniel O'Boyle | Thursday, April 12, 2018

For more than 600 Thursday nights, Club Fever stood as a light in downtown South Bend to the world. After tonight, Michiana’s self-proclaimed “hottest nightclub” will be no more. What will replace it? As of now, nobody knows. Thursday nights may never be the same (the vastly-overrated Finnies is far from an adequate consolation). Without

Arike Ogunbowale’s confidence proves to be the difference maker

Daniel O'Boyle | Monday, April 2, 2018

COLUMBUS, Ohio — As Arike Ogunbowale climbed the ladder to cut down the net at Nationwide Arena, she stopped and looked around confused for a few seconds, miming a pair of scissors to show that she couldn’t find them. They were right at the top of the ladder, the same spot every other player on the
