With the holiday season coming, what better way to spark up Christmas cheer than to talk about a beach movie! I only remember bits and pieces of “Surf’s Up” from when I was kid, specifically a chicken and a killer soundtrack. But I can say that rewatching it years later as a 21-year-old, I ended

I read this tweet three months ago when it was penned during the height of the “He/she’s a ten” memes and the LIV/PGA tour drama that escalated this summer. The context of this tweet directly refers to the persona of Brooks Koepka, golf’s resident bad boy and four-time major winner who spurned the PGA tour

Three years ago, bright-eyed me came into Notre Dame with no expectations for tailgating. I grew up in the suburbs of New York, aka no good high school football and absolutely no real tailgating. Well, unless you count Jimmy Buffet’s Margaritaville. I had no one to guide me through the confusing lots of Joyce and

Whether it’s to play mind games with the opposition or insure against allegations of underachievement, soccer managers around the world love downplaying expectations to the media. After missing out on the NCAA Tournament for a second time in three years at a traditional women’s collegiate soccer blue-blood like Notre Dame, many coaches would be wary,

The now 12th-ranked Notre Dame baseball team started the 2021 season red hot, winning 11 of their first 13 games and securing a spot in the college baseball rankings. But until last weekend’s series against ACC standouts and sixth-ranked Louisville, the Irish had yet to prove themselves as a true contender. The Cardinals served as

When I love something, I write about it — not quite love letters, but tributes. I love when celebrities can be connected to Notre Dame, so I draw the dots — and then connect them — between Taylor Swift and the Golden Dome. Or, I obsess over Leonardo DiCaprio wearing a hat. There are a

Growing up, my house was always filled with music. My dad insisted surround sound be installed in nearly every room regardless of if there was a TV present or not. This led me down a path of fascination regarding any sort of music genre, with a variety that expanded from country to soul, musical theatre

After Sunday’s win against Wake Forest, Notre Dame is halfway home. Heading into Wednesday’s contest at No. 17 Miami (Fla.), the Irish (15-6, 6-3 ACC) have hit the midway point of their ACC schedule doing exactly what they’ve needed to: only falling once at home, stealing a win at Duke and taking care of business in four games

On Nov. 3, the College Football Playoff selection committee will announce its first 2015 rankings. While that may seem like light years away, for a Notre Dame team that has a bye coming up, it is only two games from now. Sure, the first rankings will probably look nothing like what the committee presents to the

Earlier this year comedy legend Jerry Seinfeld made comments regarding his refusal to perform on college campuses. Blaming the environment of hyper-sensitive political-correctness, Seinfeld is not alone in his dislike of our demographic, as both Larry the Cable Guy and Chris Rock avoid preforming at colleges. Seinfeld professed that college students “don’t know what the hell
