Observer Editorial Board | Wednesday, August 12, 2020

Observer Editorial Board | Friday, April 24, 2020

The misfortune of losing two months of what seems like the ever-fleeting college experience would be difficult for any student, but for the collective class of 2020 at Holy Cross, Saint Mary’s and Notre Dame, it’s nothing short of devastating. What should have been

Letter to the Editor | Sunday, January 26, 2014

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.
