Mascots are a very polarizing topic. You either love them or hate them, and some people are even scared of the guys in the big felt suits behind masks. There’s a real diagnosis for this phenomenon: Masklophobia, sometimes referred to as Maskaphobia. Sports fans, however, are a completely different story. They feel very passionately about

Notre Dame women’s tennis enjoyed a strong weekend, going 2-0 in home contests against Syracuse and Boston College. The winning streak was the latest high in an up-and-down season for the Irish.

The Notre Dame women’s tennis season has been full of ups and downs. After picking up two big home wins against Wake Forest and Louisville at the end of March, the Irish traveled to Florida last weekend and fell to Florida State and Miami. They’ll have the chance to get back on the upswing before

Notre Dame softball will return to ACC play this weekend when they square off against Pittsburgh in South Bend. The Irish are looking to find momentum following a dominant 15-0 showing against IUPUI Tuesday.

Over Notre Dame softball’s last four regular seasons, there have been two constants. First, the Irish have largely handled business against their ACC foes. Even though the conference is usually regarded as one of the sport’s best, the Irish have an impressive 59-28 mark in conference play since 2019. The only thing more consistent than

In summer of 2021, no one could get enough of then junior linebacker Marist Liufau. He had flashes of of success in camp, became the talk of the town and was seemingly unblockable. Then, his season ended before it could start. Liufau suffered a broken ankle midway through camp, ultimately keeping him from a season’s

Let me start off this edition of Observer on the Ground with a quick disclaimer. I love traveling to cover Notre Dame football. It’s a privilege, and the experience is always worth it. That being said, get me the [insert expletive of choice] out of Syracuse, New York, and never send me back. Logistically, the

Notre Dame got back on track last weekend with a victory over UNLV. But the Irish face a much stiffer test this weekend as they travel to Syracuse to face the Orange at the JMA Wireless Dome. Syracuse started the season 6-0, surging into the top-15 and shocking many observers after they were picked to
