The USC band

Letter to the Editor | Wednesday, October 16, 2019

My junior year in high school I returned from a visit to Notre Dame. My parents asked, “What do you think?” I said that Notre Dame is the only place I want to go. I love Notre Dame. Now I’m 58, class of 1983. I just attended the ND vs. USC game this past weekend.

Aidan Thomas | Sunday, September 29, 2019

Junior running back Tony Jones Jr. may have been the headliner of the Notre Dame offensive attack on Saturday against No. 18 Virginia, but he did not deliver the biggest sprint of the game; that honor belongs to defensive lineman Myron Tagovailoa-Amosa, who picked up a fumble and returned it 48 yards, coming just seven

Oliver Ortega | Tuesday, September 10, 2019

Football. If you’ve been around Notre Dame long enough, the word evokes the image of blue-and-gold-clad gladiators streaking through the opposing end zone in the nick of time. Or two opposing lines of burly young men locked in various forms of pushing and grunting under the eyes of tens of thousands of fans. Football is

Life of surprises: Buoniconti

Letter to the Editor | Thursday, September 5, 2019

Most of this article was written in June of 1992 – the conclusion, last week. Some people find a little corner in your brain and nestle there forever. They disappear for years at a time, only to reappear unexpectedly when fame, hype or deja vu hauls them back. Nick Buoniconti is one of my mental

Connor Mulvena | Friday, August 23, 2019

In his media day press conference ahead of the 2019-2020 season, Notre Dame football defensive backs coach Terry Joseph talked recruitment, talent and development.  And of course, when you think defensive backs, you can’t help but think of the loss of All-American cornerback Julian Love.

Instagram post 2195908705778065699_1726022560 “As you may know, I received 5,000 signatures and a protest on God Quad last spring, which — while compelling and interesting — was a bit of curiosity to me, because people were protesting against something that hadn’t been established yet,” said associate vice president of Residential Life Heather Rakoczy Russel in the Dahnke Ballroom last night. ..
Rakoczy Russel was looking to garner student feedback in crafting the off campus differentiation policies.  Surveys will be sent out to the class of 2022, the first class impacted by the off campus differentiation, but ultimately the policy will reflect Notre Dame's attitudes about community and identity.

"After making my heart suffer such a toll, I decided to redeem myself — and my stomach — by delighting in some real — I cannot emphasize that word enough — Mexican food. I searched the Internet for the best places in South Bend, heavily rolling my eyes at the lists featuring Chipotle and, yes, Taco Bell. Thankfully, I found several options that promised authentic food, and most of them were located on South Bend’s west side."
