The 2023 NFL Draft took place from Thursday-Saturday in Kansas City. Three Irish players were taken in the seven-round process, with seven more signing shortly after the draft’s conclusion as undrafted free agents.

Citron steps into leadership role as Irish make tournament run

Liam Coolican | Friday, March 24, 2023

When All-American guard Olivia Miles went down with a knee injury Feb. 26, many thought Notre Dame’s dreams of a deep tournament run were all but over. The Irish were already missing sharpshooting graduate guard Dara Mabrey, who suffered a torn ACL in Jan., and it was clear in their blowout loss to Louisville in

Coolican: The incredible atmosphere of the World Baseball Classic

Liam Coolican | Thursday, March 23, 2023

It would have been impossible to script a better ending for the World Baseball Classic. Mike Trout against Shohei Ohtani. Bottom of the ninth. Two outs. 3-2 count. One run game. Ohtani dispatched his MLB teammate with an absolutely wicked slider to secure the 3-2 victory for Japan in the final game of the tournament

Irish hope to recapture 2015 magic in Greensboro

Liam Coolican | Tuesday, March 7, 2023

As Mike Brey prepares to coach his final game on the Notre Dame sideline, in his final ACC Tournament, he gets to revisit the site of what he calls his “ultimate memory:” Notre Dame’s 2015 ACC Tournament championship.  The Irish came into Greensboro eight years ago as the third-seeded team in the conference and proceeded

Irish fall flat in regular season finale

Liam Coolican | Monday, March 6, 2023

Mathematically, Saturday night’s regular-season finale at Clemson meant nothing for Notre Dame men’s basketball. The Irish were already locked into the 14th seed of the ACC Tournament and a first-round matchup with 11th-seeded Virginia Tech. Emotionally, however, it meant a whole lot more.  Coming off an electrifying upset victory over Pittsburgh in head coach Mike

‘No last call tonight’: Mike Brey takes home win as Irish upset Pitt in final home game

Liam Coolican | Thursday, March 2, 2023

It didn’t matter that Notre Dame had won just two conference games all season. It didn’t matter that they were facing the top team in the ACC. For one magical night, the Irish delivered an inspired performance to send off Mike Brey and the six graduate students who have meant so much to this program

Observer on the Ground: College hockey at its finest at Yost

Liam Coolican | Thursday, March 2, 2023

When Notre Dame’s hockey schedule was released in the fall, and I saw they concluded the season in Ann Arbor, I knew right away I had to be there. It was sure to be a big game and ended up being even more important than I had imagined with the Irish needing a win to

Brey, graduate students prepare for final home game

Liam Coolican | Wednesday, March 1, 2023

23 seasons. 401 games at Purcell Pavilion. Countless memories. But is Mike Brey emotional as he prepares to coach his last home game in South Bend? “Not at all,” Brey said Tuesday prior to practice. “I’ve mentally prepared myself for it, so I am going to embrace it as best possible and hopefully we play

Irish head to Duke for Brey’s last game at Cameron

Liam Coolican | Tuesday, February 14, 2023

Mike Brey and Mike Krzyzewski on a pickleball team at the Final Four? The possibility isn’t as far-fetched as it seems.  “I haven’t really been able to talk to him since I made the announcement I was stepping down,” Brey said of the legendary former Duke coach who retired at the end of last season.

Laszewski’s career-high 33 not enough as Irish fall to Hokies

Liam Coolican | Monday, February 13, 2023

Just before halftime, graduate student forward Nate Laszewski drilled his fourth three-pointer of the half to tie the game at 40 for Notre Dame. Yet Virginia Tech’s Sean Pedulla raced down the court and beat the buzzer with a deep triple of his own, and the Hokies entered the break with the lead.  The final

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.
