It’s finally game on in the ‘friendly derby’ once again

Greg McKenna | Tuesday, October 13, 2020

When I became a soccer fan and developed my fandom for Liverpool Football Club, in the spirit of the so-called “friendly derby” (well actually, just to get under my skin), my brother naturally chose to support Everton. By electing to support the city’s smaller, less successful team that eventually became dubbed “the People’s Club”, he

Anne Elizabeth Barr | Thursday, October 10, 2019

As the Notre Dame vs. University of Southern California (USC) football game approaches, students and alumni prepare to witness once again the long-standing and celebrated rivalry between the two schools. One of the most widely-known rivalries in college football, the Notre Dame vs. USC faceoff began in 1926 and has occurred every year since, with

Carson: Notre Dame, Michigan should embrace unique rivalry

Alex Carson | Tuesday, March 22, 2016

BROOKLYN, N.Y. — Seriously. How fun was that? After 40 minutes of two rivals going back and forth, how could you not want more? I sat through three games Friday with atmospheres that could best be described as lackluster. Yeah, a handful of fans from each of the participating teams were in attendance, but at the end

More respect than rivalry

Dennis Nemenz | Monday, October 26, 2015

A few weeks ago, our son invited my wife and I to accompany him to the Notre Dame versus Navy football game in South Bend. We were anticipating a full-fledged, if not closely contested, college football rivalry. What we experienced was much, much more, culminating in a day replete with hope, gratitude and pride —

Lorton: Respect fuels Navy-Notre Dame rivalry (Oct. 31)

Isaac Lorton | Thursday, October 30, 2014

The school once known as “Annapolis West” will take on the original Annapolis this weekend.  During World War II, Notre Dame was in danger of folding. Most of the all-male student population had gone off to war, and Notre Dame’s endowment was down to the cost of gold atop its iconic Dome. Notre Dame came

Students react to Michigan shut-out

Wei Lin | Sunday, September 7, 2014

Notre Dame fans were in for a surprise when they entered the stadium Saturday night for the game against Michigan, where the Irish emerged victorious in a 31-0 shut out against the Wolverines. Although Notre Dame supporters came with high hopes of winning, no one expected the shutout. “I heard we were only favored by about three

Make ‘tradition’ matter

Observer Editorial Board | Friday, September 5, 2014

The only words used more often than “tradition” on this campus might be “God,” “Jesus” and “Mary.” We cling to tradition. We debate tradition. We love tradition. “But we always play Michigan. How can the rivalry end?” Well, Notre Dame hasn’t always played Michigan. Between 1909 and 1978, the so-called “Reunion Game,” the Irish and

The History of a Rivalry: Notre Dame and Michigan

Mike Monaco | Thursday, September 4, 2014

With the lights shining down Saturday night inside an overflowing Notre Dame Stadium, the Irish will align on the west sideline, the Wolverines on the east strip. One-hundred and sixty feet of crisp FieldTurf will separate Notre Dame and Michigan. But the two schools are inextricably linked — somewhere along the 150-mile stretch of Midwest
