In her 1996 Grammy-nominated single, “Where Have All the Cowboys Gone?”, singer Paula Cole muses the whereabouts of her real-life John Wayne.

This Thursday, Feb. 16, the 93rd annual Bengal Bou This Thursday, Feb. 16, the 93rd annual Bengal Bouts will begin its preliminary rounds.

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.
