From Lana to Lorde: Why the internet hates the ‘sad girl gone glad’

Evan McKenna | Thursday, September 30, 2021

In the last decade or so, a new genre of celebrity has materialized in the realm of American pop culture — and maybe it says something about the state of our nation that this new form of fame is characterized almost exclusively by its deep, profound sadness. You know the type — a few of

Donovan: Remember Sports?

Mike Donovan | Tuesday, April 7, 2020

How was I supposed to know the approach would be asymptotic, getting me

Mount Eerie’s dance with the intractable

Mike Donovan | Wednesday, March 21, 2018

He begins playing guitar, the tones of which lacerate the audience, segmenting their collective consciousness into a smattering of individual reactions.  Each person, now alone in the

Guidelines for the safe consumption of sadness

Mike Donovan | Wednesday, April 26, 2017

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.
