Solange takes a quick, but meaningful trip home in latest album

Carlos De Loera | Friday, March 22, 2019

There is often a negative connotation that comes with brevity. When something is brief it is perceived as incomplete or underdeveloped. People who talk in short blurbs are seen as cold or standoffish. One-word answers are rude. But, if presented correctly, brevity is powerful. There is a directness and intentionality to something brief. Every word

Lessons from Harvey

Kelli Smith | Tuesday, March 27, 2018

For spring break, I traveled to Houston with my journalism class to report on the aftermath of Hurricane Harvey. As a native Texan, I’d been to Houston before but hadn’t seen the city since well before Harvey hit. As soon as we arrived, it was clear to me this wouldn’t be anything like my past

Students travel to serve, learn over spring break

Kara Miecznikowski | Tuesday, March 20, 2018

Stand to help Houston

Caroline Humphreys | Monday, September 4, 2017

My friend Carrie and I walked to the Grotto last night. We stopped to take pictures of every pretty angle (which seems to be just about all of them when the light begins to change at Notre Dame) and were finally met with the warm glow of a thousand candles. A thousand prayers, really. And

What Herman has done at Houston in two seasons is impressive — he’s taken his team to the center of both

Carson: Rethinking the top-10 college football teams

Alex Carson | Monday, September 12, 2016

I do not have a vote in the AP Top 25. Though it would be pretty neat if I did, given I probably put more time and effort into ranking teams in my head than many pollsters actually do. But despite not having a vote, I’m going to rank the 10 teams that have impressed me more

Clear eyes, full hearts … go green?

Miko Malabute | Wednesday, November 18, 2015

As many may have not had time to see amongst the seemingly endless stream of exams, papers and presentations, Michael B. Jordan came onto the set of “The Dan Patrick Show,” where he evoked the spirit of one of the most beloved characters in “Friday Night Lights” history, star quarterback Vince Howard.

Klonsinski: Singing the College Football Playoff blues

Zach Klonsinski | Tuesday, October 27, 2015

Instead of Cinderella’s slippers, get ready to put on your blue suede shoes and play the Delta blues, College Football Playoff Committee: Memphis could be about to crash your ball. If you should know anything about my qualms with the College Football Playoff, it’s that the current four-team format doesn’t allow any room for the
