You know what really irks me? When people call the United States a democracy. Sure, our nation may have some democratic elements, but our government is not a democracy. Our government is not a majority-wins-all system where the minority is ignored. In fact, the Founders actually feared this democratic form of government. James Madison laments

For politically minded Notre Dame students — regardless of party affiliation, personal presidential candidate preference or self-identified issue purity — a lifetime opportunity has thrust itself upon you. Call it the luck of the Irish or the planets perfectly aligning, but your neighbor is running for the presidency and needs a legion of volunteers. South

No. 1 Notre Dame overcame poor second and third quarters to top Iowa, 73-58, in its ACC/Big Ten Challenge game Wednesday night in Iowa City, Iowa. From the 1:52 mark in the first quarter to the 2:37 mark of the third quarter, the Hawkeyes (5-3) outscored the Irish, 39-27, and turned a 14-point Notre Dame

No. 1 Notre Dame will travel to Iowa to play its first true road test of the year Wednesday in the annual ACC-Big Ten Challenge. The Irish (6-0) have played one game away from the confines of Purcell Pavilion this season, but it was a neutral-site adventure in Houston against Louisiana-Lafayette on Nov. 22. This time,

After a 3-0 week, a November tournament title and a 6-0 start, Notre Dame returns to the hardwood Tuesday night against a surprisingly familiar opponent: Iowa. For the third time in four seasons, the Hawkeyes (3-3) and Irish will face off in the early stages of the season — Iowa took a 98-93 game Dec.

Notre Dame played two games over Thanksgiving week, and in each game, everything changed in a single moment. Against Louisiana-Lafayette in Houston, the Irish (6-0) and the Ragin’ Cajuns (2-2) had to move venues after a power outage just before halftime on their way to a 91-51 victory. Against TCU, only one venue was needed, but the

This past Saturday, North Dakota State defeated then-No. 13 Iowa 23-21 on a game-winning field goal as time expired. The upset should not have surprised anyone familiar with the team, as it was nothing but a mundane outcome for the Bison, who — despite competing at NCAA’s FCS level — extended their winning streak against teams in college football’s top
