A briefly snowy Saturday

Madeline Law | Monday, November 14, 2022

It’s snowing today. Snowing! You can read that line as an ecstatic exclamation or a disappointed one, depending on your feelings about the wonderful phenomenon of drifting crystallized water. I was talking with my roommate in our kitchen when I noticed it. I’m pretty sure I cried, “It’s snowing!” with more enthusiasm than I thought

Spring in the halls of Saint Mary’s

Madeline Law | Wednesday, April 13, 2022

Regardless of the Midwest’s inability to commit to a change in season, it’s officially spring! The birds are singing, the spring athletes are sport-ing and students are knocking on doors in the residence halls of Saint Mary’s. Yep, that’s a certain sign of spring. In the last few weeks, the annual tradition of surveying prospective

Maybe it’s a ‘duh’ moment

Madeline Law | Wednesday, March 30, 2022

This past week I realized that I still have not put up any pictures in my dorm room. It’s strange to me because I’ve always considered pictures to be one of the most important things I bring to school. Every semester, I would choose a place in my room to display a visual summary of

The second step

Madeline Law | Wednesday, March 16, 2022

Depending on what your graduating year is, last week was most likely your first real collegiate spring break. Congratulations! We left for a week, and we came back. Take that, COVID. My column byline is “Trivial Matters.” I thought this was a nice bit of wordplay on my part, for my intention was to talk

Cherish the real

Madeline Law | Wednesday, February 23, 2022

Spring break is not in two weeks. It can’t be. I still have two papers, a rewrite, a project and two midterms to tackle, not to mention rehearsals and work and … oh yeah, going to classes. All in 14 days. Did I stress you out? My bad. I stressed myself out, too. Despite these

This is an amateur pun

Madeline Law | Wednesday, February 9, 2022

Just a second, please… I’m laughing at my own nerdy joke… (thank you for laughing or pretending you did.) OK, I’m ready. I have a question for you. When someone says the word “amateur,” what comes to mind? Thinking of something? Alright, cool. I’m now going to attempt to read your mind. When you heard

I am a writer

Madeline Law | Wednesday, January 26, 2022

I am not a writer. That’s what I told my friend when she tried to convince me to be a columnist. That’s what I told myself when I tried to convince myself I shouldn’t be a columnist. Obviously it didn’t stick. So welcome, dear reader, to my origin story. It happened last week, and involved

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.
