Observer Editorial Board | Friday, April 28, 2023

With spring coming to a close and graduation just around the corner, it seems like just about everyone has finalized their summer plans. Maybe all of your friends are interning at the prestigious company of their dreams. Maybe your LinkedIn feed, like ours, has become a parade of joyous job and internship announcements. Maybe your

Andy Ottone | Thursday, December 1, 2022

As the sun starts setting later and the wind gets colder, we all need a sunny, summer escape. “Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery” centers on private detective Benoit Blanc (Daniel Craig; “Casino Royale,” “No Time to Die”), returning from the film “Knives Out.” Blanc finds himself on a private island getaway with a billionaire

Fall is here, but I swear, summer is forever

Kate Casper | Tuesday, September 27, 2022

Perhaps the start of fall isn’t marked by last Thursday’s Autumnal Equinox at 9:04 p.m. Eastern Time — maybe it’s the August 30 return of the Pumpkin Spiced Latte to Starbucks, or the day the box fans start to disappear from dorm room windows. Maybe it’s the first chill of fall you feel on an

Anne Frank’s words of wisdom

Sarah Kikel | Thursday, August 13, 2020

As college students who were used to daily freedom and spontaneity, suddenly being forced to return home due to COVID-19 was a difficult adjustment for us. Feeling disheartened by the unexpected changes, I turned to Anne Frank’s “Diary of a Young Girl,” hoping to be comforted by her ability to embrace life in hiding, during

Summer’s over and Whitney’s ‘Forever Turned Around’

Mike Donovan | Tuesday, September 3, 2019

Whitney’s debut, “Light Upon the Lake,” shone over a midsummer breakup, illuminating, albeit weakly, the lifeless reflection of a lost relationship. “How cheap were the nights you used to keep me warm,” drummer-vocalist Julien Ehrlich questioned while he dipped his toes in the water and watched the reflection ripple. No one answered. Ehrlich was left in the cold — “awake in all kinds of darkness” — miming the reluctant

Do it for the jokes

Colleen Fischer | Wednesday, October 3, 2018

“For Narnia!” Peter screamed this as he attacked the White Witch in Narnia. These are the sort of moments that create battle cries. Cries that motivate armies and encourage sacrifice. Moments of great adversary, and great bravery. Moments of battlefields and fairytales. My moment was far from this. I worked at an overnight summer camp

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.

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.
