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.

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.

Jack Sirianni | Friday, May 13, 2022

Among the busy hustle, bustle and downright disorientation of the last few weeks of school before Christmas break building up to the holidays with finals, there was a significant aesthetic addition to the campus of the University of Notre Dame.

We want CFP Expansion and we want it now

Jack Sirianni | Friday, February 25, 2022

If you are anything like me, you long to hear the sound of trumpets and bagpipes playing on the campus of Our Lady’s University on a warm fall day while you parade around without a care in the world. However, we are well into cold Indiana winter. This winter is ripe with midterms and spring

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.
