Mahoney reflects on community found at Notre Dame

Elizabeth Gasiorowski | Friday, December 18, 2020

For senior John Mahoney, walk-on safety and current president of the Notre Dame Walk-On Players’ Union — or “WOPU Nation,” as it is affectionately known — community has been an integral part of his football experience at Notre Dame.  “The one thing I can really take from the experience is the WOPU Nation; it’s just

We’re getting down to the nitty gritty as the trade deadline approaches throughout fantasy football leagues.

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.

Week 2 of the NFL was filled with great comebacks, questionable play calls and unfortunately, a vast amount of injuries. In just Week 2 alone, there was a record-setting seven ACL tears in one day and a vast amount of other injuries. These injuries affected the likes of star running backs Christian McCaffery and Saquon

The first week of the NFL has concluded and with that, the first week of Fantasy Football. We saw great performances in players such as Ezekiel Elliott and Cam Newton, and not-so-great performances in players like Saquon Barkley and Michael Thomas. Granted, this is the first week of football and there are still fifteen games

“So we talked about abortion and marriage and re “So we talked about abortion and marriage and religious freedom, and I don’t know how we could not talk about it. I mean, we have to be authentic teachers. We’re not going to be silent about the truths that we hold dear.”

Joseph R. Biden has become the second Catholic President in United States history, but his position on abortion is “one that cannot be condoned” according to Rev. Robert Dowd. 

“Other bishops think that, because he’s a conscientious Catholic whose faith is obviously important to him, we should strike a more positive tone, particularly at the outset of his presidency. After all, in many ways Biden’s positions are more in line with Catholic teaching than Trump’s, particularly when it comes to migrants, refugees, climate issues, poverty and inequality,” Dowd continued.
