ZeLO makes conference title and bowl game picks

Thomas Zwiller | Thursday, November 17, 2022

I will come right out and say it: This week of college football is boring. Of the top-25 teams playing on Saturday, the average point spread is 14.7. That feels like Vegas telling you that you can turn your TV off and go for a walk. Do not get me wrong, there are good games.

Predicting the College Football Playoff committee’s toughest decisions

Matthew Crow | Friday, November 11, 2022

With just three weeks remaining in college football’s regular season, a chaotic race for the College Football Playoff has become clearer, and the number of teams with hopes of reaching the final four has dwindled. After eight seasons with the current playoff system in place, there is an unofficial hierarchy of qualifications that shape the

J.J. Post | Monday, September 19, 2022

Notre Dame women’s soccer dropped their first contest of the season, falling on the road to Clemson 2-0 on Thursday. Proving conference play is always a different beast, the Tigers threw down the gauntlet for Notre Dame early. Just twenty minutes into the match, Sami Meredith got into transition and slotted home the opening goal

The definitive top ten Taylor Swift songs

Letter to the Editor | Monday, November 15, 2021

1. “You Belong With Me” She wears short skirts, I wear T-shirts, Taylor wrote an absolute banger, and we want to see this in concert. This song is absolutely iconic, from the music video, to sing-along lyrics, to the controversy it caused with Kanye, to so much more. It encapsulates everything that we love about

My first time at Cedar Point

Allison Thornton | Wednesday, September 15, 2021

This weekend I went to Cedar Point for the first time. And before you ask, of course I got the “First Visit” button. Who do you think I am? It was the best part of my outfit that day. I went to the park with my volleyball team from Saint Mary’s and we fit six

Ranking the 10 best things about Notre Dame

Colin Capece | Friday, August 27, 2021

For a long time now, I’ve been wanting to rank something in The Observer. Since the day I discovered in these pages the introspective yet comedic brilliance of master ranker and former Dunne Hall RA Davis Gonsalves, I was inspired to invoke the kind of spicy verbal mudslinging amongst the Notre Dame student body and

Ranking the campus outrages

Davis Gonsalves | Wednesday, March 20, 2019

As my time as a columnist (and a student) draws to a close, I have started to reflect on my time at Notre Dame. Of course, there are the interhall sports moments, the passions of the Grotto and the charm of dances. These are great and integral to my Notre Dame experience, but my favorite

Mid-semester ranks

Davis Gonsalves | Wednesday, February 27, 2019

The countdown begins. After this column, I only have four more to write before I graduate. Fortunately, I have planned the last four in sequence. That means this will be the last chance to rank the things I either never had a chance to rank, or that would simply not be worthy of an entire

Ranking the relationships at Notre Dame

Davis Gonsalves | Wednesday, January 30, 2019

Notre Dame is unique in many ways. Our relationships with varying groups on campus set us apart from other schools. However, the relationships within the school are hardly unique among students, and I am attempting to rank these to bring them out to fruition. 11. Traveler and Coach USA attendant The worst relationship at Notre

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.
