All roads lead to Notre Dame

Jack Sirianni | Wednesday, May 17, 2023

It was a sight that was hard to forget as I made the turn from East Angela Boulevard onto Notre Dame Avenue for the first time. It was so much more than the view. As I lay there in the back seat, wedged between the mounds of snacks and clothes, I stood on the precipice

Stop and smell the flowers

Jack Sirianni | Tuesday, April 18, 2023

The dozens of puddles I had to acrobatically dodge to reach my perch on the tenth floor of the library soak into my shoes and infiltrate the one tiny hole in the fabric. From my primo window spot overlooking campus, I can see the wave of green that has overtaken the land. Spring is in

Notre Dame be strong

Jack Sirianni | Monday, April 3, 2023

For as long as I can remember I have always been a sorter. I used to sort my Thomas the Tank Engine trains by color and my college mail by geographical location. Similarly, with my laundry, I make sure that all of my T-shirts are organized by theme. I am always shocked by the number

Spring break looks different for everyone

Jack Sirianni | Thursday, March 23, 2023

Spring has always been my favorite season with the renewal of life outside, the smells of the loamy earth and the song of the black-capped chickadee. These little signs have always let me know that spring is in the air. This year, when the South Bend permacloud parted like the Red Sea and spring finally

The everything people

Jack Sirianni | Monday, March 6, 2023

With the ending of my Tuesday class at 10:45 in DeBart and the rumblings of my stomach, I leave the classroom into the swarm of students in the hallway that make me feel like I am a freshman in high school again. Escaping the stampede with most of my limbs intact, I rush outside to

A stick(er)y situation

Jack Sirianni | Wednesday, March 1, 2023

Looking across the classroom, I see them all abound with my classmates behind them, pattering and pecking away. Without saying a word, I can tell their life stories — or at least, some fairly amusing guesses about dramatized lives of intrigue they may lead. From his sticker, I can tell he is a frequenter of

Robotic ramblings

Jack Sirianni | Tuesday, February 21, 2023

The past couple of weeks have been accompanied by a wave of hysteria, cuteness or capitalism, depending on who you ask. As this modern fleet races across campus at its maximum speed of four miles per hour, students and faculty alike have been even faster to form strong opinions on our new automated friends. The

A most meaningful meander

Jack Sirianni | Monday, February 6, 2023

As I step outside after completing a strenuous day of classes, I feel the frigid wind take my breath away in a way that has become all too common.  As I hurriedly struggle to get my gloves on, I see that the sun has decided to make an unprecedented appearance and the sky is illuminated

Sirianni: Captain Jack’s Buckeye attack

Jack Sirianni | Friday, September 2, 2022

“Hello ladies and gentlemen, my name is Jack and I will be your captain today; if there is any way I can be of service, please let me know.”  This is a line that has become almost permanently ingrained into my head during the course of my summer job at Frankenmuth Funships in Frankenmuth, Michigan.

Belles senior captains reflect on cross country squad

Jack Sirianni | Friday, May 13, 2022

Three seemed to be the magic number for senior Saint Mary’s cross country captains Riley Swope, Brigid Conmy, Claudia Stiglitz, and head coach Jackie Bauters as they looked back on the 2021 season. Three senior captains led the Belles cross country team this year to a fruitful season that fostered the growth of many of

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.

We asked you to Ask The Observer Sports Department We asked you to Ask The Observer Sports Department and you responded with the request: “Northwestern @ Notre Dame 2014 Football Breakdown”. 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.
