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

The grass is greener where I am now

Kate Casper | Tuesday, November 1, 2022

Today, I want to be anywhere but here. Specifically, I want to be in Annapolis, Maryland, rolling around with friends on some grassy hill outside of the State House, discussing John Locke’s social compact over ice cream. The grass is soft and lush, and the sun is tucked behind a few trees, casting spiky shadows

A love letter to my family

Christina Sayut | Monday, October 10, 2022

Something I always hear from my friends is that their parents want them to call home more — that could never be me. I call my parents before I even know what I want to talk about. In October, I called my mom and dad a total of 24 times, but if I had it

All roads lead to the Grotto

Kate Casper | Tuesday, September 13, 2022

When I returned to my hometown in Northern Virginia for summer break, I felt a kind of dissonance almost immediately. My first few days were spent taking strolls and drives with friends, meandering streets that once felt so familiar, but now felt so different. My elementary school had been torn down, replaced with the bare

To the women who make Notre Dame my home

Maggie Klaers | Wednesday, September 7, 2022

When you hand a little kid a piece of paper and a crayon and tell them to draw “home,” it’s pretty likely that they will draw a triangle stacked on top of a square. Maybe they will add a chimney, a door, a tree and some windows.  As we grow up, a lot of our

Home is where the heart is

Megumi Tamura | Thursday, October 28, 2021

At the beginning of September, my family moved from northern New Jersey to a suburb of Pittsburgh. I was born and raised in New Jersey and, like many people who grew up there, have an unreasonable and almost strange amount of pride and love for my home state. From summers down the shore to day

Four years, according to the Talking Heads

Sara Schlecht | Friday, May 21, 2021

When I first got to Saint Mary’s, I had a sticky note list of classes I needed to take over the next few semesters and a mental list of graduate programs I wanted to attend. My plan was to do everything as efficiently as possible, and I thought nothing of the way I used my

Where is home when you can’t go back?

Maria Luisa Paul | Tuesday, September 8, 2020

Commonly known as “the Rainbow,” a mosaic of millions of red, blue, yellow and black tiles adorn the floor and walls of Simon Bolivar International Airport. The merging blocks of colors crafted by the renowned artist Carlos Cruz Diez are the only thing left in Venezuela with any structure or sense. Walking through those tiles

Feeling homesick for people

Ashton Weber | Monday, April 20, 2020

I may not be the “Observer Columnist of the Century”or anything, but I hope I’ve done a decent enough job this past year to keep you reading. If not, congrats! This is the last time in a while you’ll be hearing from me.  What sorts of things does one share in their final column? I

The books still on my shelf

Sara Schlecht | Monday, March 30, 2020

Having been forcibly returned to my childhood bedroom for the rest of the semester, I am now surrounded by the possessions not deemed worthy of getting rid of quite yet but also not so essential to my life to be in my beloved room in Le Mans Hall. Most of these are books — some

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.
