‘Ted Lasso’ Season 3: A beautiful set-up, but can the show finish?

Andrew McGuinness | Friday, April 21, 2023

There is nothing more exciting — or agonizing — in sports than watching a beautiful through ball head into the box. Anticipation rises as each second passes till the ball comes to Earth, and its fate is revealed. It can be exhilarating if finished off, but equally (if not more) devastating if it misses the

Still waters run deep in Ireland’s ‘The Quiet Girl’

Aidan O'Malley | Wednesday, April 12, 2023

I don’t know if I’ve told you, but last spring, I studied abroad in Dublin, Ireland. While a running joke in The Observer office is that I am quick to talk about it, to be honest, I don’t think I bring it up that much. Not any more than it deserves, anyways. In fact, it

Ari Denning | Monday, April 3, 2023

“Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves” debuted in theaters Friday to a packed house, utterly crushing the box office this past weekend.

An open letter on academic freedom

Letter to the Editor | Monday, March 6, 2023

Universities across the country wrestle with what it means to maintain academic freedom and free speech under the weight of an increasingly polarized culture. Law schools have not been immune to the influences of cancel culture, with prestigious institutions making headlines such as “US Judge Won’t Hire Yale Law Clerks Citing ‘Cancel Culture’” and “Georgetown’s

‘You can’t ever say you haven’t been told’: My love letter to ‘The Sopranos’

Stephen Viz | Thursday, January 26, 2023

Television, in particular paid programming television, has seen a cinematic revival since the turn of the twenty-first century. While once belittled as the little brother of the silver screen, the current landscape of television has changed drastically. No longer do actors smirk at the idea of taking on TV projects, but rather embrace it in

‘Pokémon Violet:’ A dream still working out the details

Ayden Kowalski | Thursday, January 26, 2023

Few franchises have a better pitch than “Pokémon”: tame and trained magical animals battle each other, save the world with a team of them and ultimately become “the very best, like no one ever was.”  Whether each game brings the player into this dream is a different question. The previous main series games, 2019’s “Pokémon Sword” and

‘DUM-de went my trochaic heart’ after watching the ‘My Policeman’

Ananya Dalmia | Friday, December 2, 2022

There are movies that make you feel something. Then, there are the gut-wrenching movies that shatter the very expectations that you have about love and leave you and your group of friends crying for 20 minutes after the credits have rolled. “My Policeman,” written by Bethan Roberts, does a phenomenal job of shifting the viewers

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.
