It’s hard for me to believe that the semester is already coming to a close, and it’s even harder for me to believe that the turn of the decade is suddenly upon us. It’s customary for us to reminisce at significant milestones like the one rapidly approaching, observing who we were 10 years ago, and

As someone who has been enamored with college football for as long as I can remember, this coming Saturday will be an absolute dream. Beginning at noon with the Big 12 championship game between Oklahoma and Baylor, there will be conference championship games to watch all day long. Every Power Five final features a matchup

On a brisk December night in South Bend at 11 p.m., the Zahm House section football championship game between the first floor section 2B took place at Ricci Fields. The match was a thrilling push-and-pull, neck-and-neck contest between the top seeds in the playoffs. The first floor (disclaimer, my team) jumped out to the early

Last night ESPN published a feature, written by Alex Scarborough, on coach Ed Orgeron, head coach of the No. 2 LSU Tigers, that I highly encourage every college football fan to read. In interviews with phenom quarterback Joe Burrow and Orgeron himself, Scarborough dives into recent rise of LSU. But more than this, I think

On paper the Patriots look so good. Up until Sunday, they were 10-1 with arguably the best defense in the league and good enough offense to hold their own. Before Sunday, being a Pats fan took little to no effort. And then they went down to Houston. Now I know what you’re thinking — “Wasn’t

Journalism should definitely be considered a sport. Saturday night, I had the privilege of covering Notre Dame’s last home game. As the only reporter from The Observer present at the game, I pulled off some superhuman athletic feats that all mankind should be proud of. The press box is equipped with some nice food, a

I’ve had some time to cool off from my initial reactions to what happened in the Kentucky Sports world in the past couple of weeks. A dominant win for the Kentucky football team over Vanderbilt with more than 400 yards rushing can cure a lot of maladies within a fan base after a disappointing loss.

Growing up in New York, there was no greater contributor to my love for sports than sports talk radio. WFAN and ESPN New York became the soundtrack for my childhood, and the hot takes of Boomer Esiason and Craig Carton in the morning, as well as the heated debates between Mike Francesca and Christopher Russo

After nearly 30 minutes on the winding, jagged dirt road, I jump from the bed of an open-air truck and step into the searing sun. The triple-digit heat feels unbearable, somehow far more potent than the dunes of the American South. Initial greetings from the early arrivals of a nearby batey echo as my colleagues

This season, the Miami Heat are emerging as a dominant force in the NBA. With a 9-3 record, they are currently sitting in second place in the Eastern Conference. Since Lebron James’s departure from Miami, the Heat have only made the playoffs twice. After adding a new, young and dynamic core, the team is geared
