Notre Dame softball might as well have a yearly reservation for the third weekend of May. For the 24th consecutive full season, the Irish will play in the NCAA Tournament. And as the players and coaches prepare for a first-ever postseason trip to Fayetteville, Arkansas, they won’t be taking anything for granted. Just five days

It’s been a long, great year of Notre Dame sports. So much has happened since we all arrived on campus back in August. Here at The Observer, we covered it all. And though I’m definitely a bit biased, I feel confident in saying we covered it pretty well. There will be more to come as

After entering the transfer portal on Tuesday, former Irish quarterback Tyler Bucnher declared late Thursday morning he would continue his collegiate career in Tuscaloosa. The junior will transfer to Alabama and compete to start for them in the 2023 season. Buchner follows former Irish offensive coordinator Tommy Rees to the Crimson Tide as the squad

If you’re like me, last Friday’s The Shirt unveiling was far from a surprise. Last month, on St. Patrick’s Day, the Athletics Department announced that the Irish would wear their green jerseys in their primetime matchup against Ohio State. If the team planned to sport the green in their biggest game of the year, there

The most ubiquitous Notre Dame bucket list is to visit all of the 32 residence halls on campus. You could rank food sales run by the dorms, go to Mass in each of the chapels or even participate in every dorm tradition (building boats, entering pageants, or even gambling). Dorms shape culture on campus, and

The dozens of puddles I had to acrobatically dodge to reach my perch on the tenth floor of the library soak into my shoes and infiltrate the one tiny hole in the fabric. From my primo window spot overlooking campus, I can see the wave of green that has overtaken the land. Spring is in

On the first floor of O’Shaughnessy Hall, the men’s and women’s bathrooms are on opposite ends of the hallway. I vividly remember the first time that I noticed this. I was a first-semester first-year, unfamiliar with the building. I remember leaving class to go to the bathroom and then seeing the women’s bathroom nearby. “The

I remember almost missing my flight back to South Bend at the end of Winter Break. I was still in line for TSA 10 minutes before the plane took off, and by the grace of God, I made it (I really shouldn’t have made it). I remember that plane ride back to campus — I

It might be called The Cat Lady Cafe, but Kim Sult — owner, founder and “purr-resident” of South Bend’s first cat cafe — is anything but crazy. She wasn’t sure of that, though, until she announced her intention to open the cafe on Facebook in January 2022. “I wanted to kind of gauge the interest
