From the Archives: The beginnings of Bookstore Basketball

Thomas Dobbs, Lilyann Gardner and Cade Czarnecki | Monday, March 27, 2023

Since 1972, the University of Notre Dame has been home to the largest 5-on-5 outdoor basketball tournament — Bookstore Basketball. This annual tradition during the University’s An Tostal celebrations was created by students Fritz Hoefer (‘72) and Vince Meconi (‘75), who wanted to provide a platform for average students to pursue athletics on a larger

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

Who is part of our family?

lettertotheeditor | Wednesday, December 7, 2022

The University of Notre Dame has always been my dream school. I chose to attend this university over others because as soon as I set foot on campus, it felt like home.  Notre Dame encourages us to do soul-searching and become who we want to be. In this, I finally came out and accepted myself

The holy hike never got easier

Gabriel Zarazua | Monday, September 19, 2022

As those close to me know best, ever since I was 11 years old I wanted to go to Notre Dame. While it was due to watching “Rudy” and falling in love with Notre Dame football, I learned more about the University, its academics and its Catholic tradition. It only led me to fall in

The art of the devious lick

Pablo Lacayo | Wednesday, March 23, 2022

Notre Dame prides itself on being one of the world’s finest Catholic higher education institutions. Its name carries a strong level of prestige that other universities can only aspire to achieve in their dreams. As a Catholic school, the University tries its best to teach its student body in ways that align with its corresponding

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

A lesson from the campaign trail

Pablo Lacayo | Wednesday, February 16, 2022

The life of a Notre Dame student is jam-packed with activity. Beyond the burden of academic responsibility, adding the weight of extracurriculars, part time jobs, recruitment and a social life can quickly consume every last minute of your day. My life is not exempt from this, and upon coming back from winter break, I quickly

From the Archives: The name, the myth, the legend — the Fighting Irish

Uyen Le, Spencer Kelly and Erin Drumm | Tuesday, February 15, 2022

Editor’s Note: The Observer previously incorrectly listed the creator of the Fighting Irish logo as Jim T. Butz. The logo’s creator was Ted Drake. The Observer regrets this error. One of the first questions I had when I first toured Notre Dame was: “Why does a university with a French name possess an Irish mascot

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.
