An ode to Notre Dame Stadium
(11/15/24 5:05am)
It feels surreal this is my last Irish Insider-edition article for The Observer football beat, and that Saturday will be my final time in the student section at Notre Dame Stadium. For the past four years, I’ve held onto my student ticket, gameday gear, press pass and a love for the rollercoaster that has been ND football. From coaching changes and College Gamedays to unforgettable victories and heartbreaking losses, it’s been a packed few seasons.
Notre Dame students win ‘best dressed’
(11/15/24 5:00am)
When compiling my college wardrobe, TikTok was my main source of inspiration. Most videos on my ForYou page emphasized comfortable clothes and athleisure, claiming college kids just rolled out of bed for class. Looking presentable seemed reserved for special occasions, nights out and game days. I packed my sweatpants, leggings, t-shirts and athletic shorts into my mom’s SUV and sorted them into my wardrobe on Welcome Weekend. I had a few nice outfits, which I figured I would wear for the first days of classes. Most students also looked put together, but I kept waiting for the day when lecture halls would be full of hoodies and pajama pants.
Football beat picks: Notre Dame vs. Virginia
(11/15/24 5:10am)
Ever since disaster struck in the home opener, Notre Dame has done everything in its power to prove that its loss to Northern Illinois was a pure anomaly. A dominant 52-3 win over Florida State extended the Irish win streak to seven and positioned them at No. 8 in the College Football Playoff rankings, meaning if the season ended today, playoff football would be played in Notre Dame Stadium. If they want a chance at returning to Notre Dame Stadium after this weekend, the last scheduled home game of the regular season, they will need to take care of business down the stretch. Heading into a matchup with a mediocre, 5-4 Cavalier team, Notre Dame opened up as 23-point favorites.
History of the matchup: Notre Dame vs. Virginia

At 3:30 p.m. on Saturday, Notre Dame and Virginia will meet for just the fifth time on a football field.

In a head-to-head matchup that has become best known in the men’s lacrosse scene, here’s how Notre Dame has taken a 4-0 series lead.

‘Attacking every single day’: Greathouse embraces the learning process in his sophomore season
(11/15/24 5:09am)
Stepping on the field as a true freshman, wide receiver Jaden Greathouse showed impressive flashes in his rookie campaign. Hauling in 18 catches for 265 yards and five touchdowns in only seven regular-season games, the four-star talent made meaningful contributions to a young Irish receiving corps. Following his productive start in a Notre Dame jersey, hopes were high that he might lead the group in 2024, especially amid the departure of fellow freshman Rico Flores through the transfer portal. While the sophomore has had his moments, he has yet to reach the heights that many expected he would in the preseason. Against Florida State, however, he put together his best performance of the season, reeling in five catches for 66 yards operating adeptly out of his preferred position in the slot.

Hit show ‘Wednesday’ celebrates two years
(11/15/24 5:00am)
Almost exactly two years ago, I saw the viral news surrounding a new show that was released on Netflix known as “Wednesday.” The moment I saw it I was intrigued by its concept and watched every episode the day it aired. As someone who has watched previous Tim Burton movies like “Beetlejuice” and “The Nightmare Before Christmas,” I was not surprised that this show was beyond fantastic from the twisting plotline, the relationships between characters and most notably, Wednesday Addams’ (Jenna Ortega) self-choreographed dance to 1981 song “Goo Goo Muck” by The Cramps.

Koval’s first double-double helps Irish double up James Madison
(11/14/24 5:03am)
In several ways, Notre Dame’s 92-46 women’s basketball defeat of James Madison University on Wednesday looked very familiar. An Irish offense on fire to start the year nearly hit the century mark again. Sophomore guard Hannah Hidalgo made a game-high total of 24 points look exceptionally easy, tacking on six rebounds and four steals. Graduate guard Olivia Miles continued her dynamic return to college basketball, posting 16 points, six boards and eight assists.

Detachment or discomfort
(11/14/24 5:00am)
It’s easy to detach. It’s detachment to scroll past a clip of a so-called live streamer spewing inconceivably degrading attacks on women and chalk it up to a misguided young man and the algorithm’s emphasis on shock value. It’s detachment to disregard the comments referencing his sentiment across the internet, quoting this video as if it were some kind of decree, and go about your day without an unshakeable pang in your chest — it’s detachment to keep yourself unfamiliar with the progression that goes from disbelief to rage to confusion.

(11/14/24 5:00am)
According to Snapchat, we can be best friends forever for $5.99. I don’t think we’d even have to do anything. I think we’d just have to pay $5.99, and then — eternity.
