Pro-life and anti-COVID vaccine mandate?

Andrew Sveda | Monday, October 11, 2021

When it comes to vaccine mandates, many conservatives are borrowing a pro-choice mantra: “My body, my choice.” On one hand, this is a smart tactic.

Jin Kim | Monday, April 29, 2019

If you’ve ever had a loved one lying in a hospital bed, clinging to their dear life, you know that the last thing on your mind is the medical bill.

Seven words

Raymond Ramirez | Tuesday, January 23, 2018

This year marks some notable anniversaries such as the 300th birthday of the city of San Antonio, the 50th year since the debut of the film classic “2001: A Space Odyssey” and 40 years since National Lampoon’s “Animal House” (which I always assumed was a documentary) gave us John Belushi at the height of his

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.
