Breaking out from the Dome

Kat Regala | Thursday, September 14, 2023

Towards the end of my freshman year, I found myself looking at the next semester with extra time in my schedule. As a type-A neurotic freak, I immediately started scouring for ways to fill it. I found myself on JOBboard, scrolling through listings. At the time, babysitting off-campus paid significantly more than the on-campus minimum

‘The Odyssey of Winnie’ shows owning an RV is harder than you think

Maggie Eastland | Wednesday, April 19, 2023

Michael Meyer, a professor in the Mendoza College of Business and author of “The Odyssey of Winnie: Our Two-Year Adventure of Owning an RV,” admits that he often does things just to prove that he can. That might very well be the case for writing this book. Despite the author’s candid intentions, or perhaps because

‘Succession’ mid-season review: A killer final season

Christine Hilario | Thursday, April 13, 2023

This review contains spoilers for all of “Succession.” “Hello! F****-sucky brigade. How can I help you?” is the last thing Roman Roy says on a phone call before learning his dad is dying — a scene that encapsulates how “Succession” perfectly balances both biting humor and gutting emotional moments.   The season three finale found three

Let’s go for a drive

Gabrielle Beechert | Wednesday, March 22, 2023

Whenever students discuss coming home for break, many talk about the things they crave. Usually it’s getting food, visiting a certain place or seeing a certain friend. When I am getting ready to go home, the thing I crave the most is going on a drive. Going on drives has been fundamental to my hometown

Sometimes you just miss your dog

Isabelle Kause | Thursday, March 9, 2023

When I first left for college, the thing I knew I’d miss the most was my dog, Bentley. I knew I’d miss the way he greeted me at the door at the end of each school day as if he hadn’t seen me in years or the way he’d sit in chairs next to me

You bring heaven down to me

Dane Sherman | Friday, February 17, 2023

One of my earliest memories is gripping our kitchen’s cold, stainless steel table. It was originally a Home Depot work bench that my dads thought would look modern and hip as a dining room table. Or maybe it was just them trying to save money. My legs swung, unable to touch the ground. Their nervous

It’s a wonderful life

Stephen Viz | Monday, January 23, 2023

During the Christmas season, “It’s a Wonderful Life” never fails to put the world into perspective. And I am sure that this 1946 movie placed plenty of things into perspective for lead actor for James Stewart. The acclaimed late actor, who plays main character George Bailey, was a military veteran of World War II. Stewart

Gratefulness

Isabelle Kause | Friday, December 2, 2022

As I made my way back from Chicago to South Bend after a relaxing and enjoyable Thanksgiving break with my family, I found myself reflecting on the last few days with an immense amount of gratitude. Last year, during my first year of college, I spent the beginning part of Thanksgiving break working on a

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.
