After facing multiple release delays due to production challenges, the film “Mickey 17” finally debuted in theaters earlier this year in March to a surprisingly underwhelming box office response. While it’s unclear whether this response is a result of its one-year release delay or potentially misleading marketing campaigns, one undeniable truth stands: “Mickey 17” is severely underrated.
The Notre Dame offense had an incredibly low-scoring game at the half against NC State, sitting at only 10 points, before coming back to win the game 36-7. This win pushed the Irish to 13th in the AP Top 25 poll; however, does the offense that took the field in the first half of Saturday deserve that high of a ranking? Today, we grade each offensive position from both the first and second halves and discuss their contribution to the win against the Wolfpack.

It’s 2 a.m. on a Wednesday night (or rather, a Thursday morning), and I finally start feeling my eyelids start to droop. “Time to go to bed,” I think. “Finally.” I shut my laptop, pull out a sweater and jeans for the next day and climb up to my lofted bed. After making sure my alarm is set for 7 a.m., I pop in my headphones and settle in for another night of getting just enough sleep to get by.
67, chopped, AI cannibal fruit eating fruit videos — all these terms have one thing in common: They’re considered brain rot.
Last month, I found myself enjoying a pleasant meal in Stratford, Ontario — a city of approximately 30,000 residents, most famous for its annual performing arts festival (which also explained the presence of the 50 or more Notre Dame undergraduates spending the weekend in the city). After finishing dinner with a group of fellow Domers, the server — perceiving our inherent Americanism (is it that obvious?) — asked where we were from. “Kentucky,” replied two of us. “Los Angeles,” said another. The fourth answer — Chicago — aroused great excitement in our Canuck server. “Chicago!” he said. “That’s where the troops are now!”
The second-ranked Notre Dame women’s soccer team wrapped up the home portion of its 2025 schedule on Sunday afternoon, defeating SMU 3-0 on Senior Day at Alumni Stadium. The Irish used goals from sophomore forward Annabelle Chukwu, sophomore defender Abby Mills and junior midfielder Morgan Roy to move to 12-0-1 on the year and remain atop the ACC table.
College, a place meant for growth and self-discovery, has now become a scene where genuine connections are replaced by transactional intimacy. What was once viewed as a place for building authentic relationships with different people has turned into a culture that rewards emotional detachment. Students are influenced by the mindset that casual hook-ups are normal, acknowledging the idea that it allows for opportunities of exploration, independence and empowerment. Yet this culture only can leave people lonelier and more detached from forming genuine relationships.
Over the weekend, Notre Dame volleyball defeated both Virginia and Virginia Tech at Purcell Pavilion.
On Friday, the Irish refused to give up in Charlottesville. In one of its most resilient performances of the season, the Notre Dame men’s soccer team battled back from an early deficit to draw 1-1 with No. 8 Virginia on Friday night at Klöckner Stadium. Junior forward Jack Flanagan provided the dramatic equalizer in the 86th minute, firing home his first goal of the season to secure a crucial road point in ACC play.The result moves Notre Dame to 7-2-4 overall and 2-1-2 in the ACC, extending its unbeaten run to four matches following home wins over Hope and Green Bay and a draw with Virginia Tech. The trip to Charlottesville marked the Irish’s first match away from South Bend in nearly a month, ending a seven-game homestand that began after their Sept. 12 victory at Pittsburgh.The match had all the hallmarks of an ACC heavyweight clash — physical, tactical and defined by small margins. Virginia’s pressure and possession tested Notre Dame, but the Irish defense held firm. The draw marked a steadying performance for an Irish backline that had been searching for consistency in recent weeks. After conceding nine goals across its previous five matches, Notre Dame limited the Cavaliers to just one despite Virginia’s 14 shots and 57% of possession.A steady presence all season, sophomore goalkeeper Blake Kelly anchored the Irish defense with confidence in Charlottesville. The ACC’s saves leader added three more stops to his total, allowing just one goal in another composed performance between the posts.Notre Dame’s determination finally broke through in the closing minutes. Virginia opened the match on the front foot, firing off the first four shots, including a dangerous cross that junior forward AJ Smith headed just over the bar from close range. The Cavaliers eventually broke the deadlock in the 20th minute. Graduate defenseman Jesus De Vicente delivered a lofted free kick toward freshman Nick Simmonds in the center circle, who controlled it cleanly before finding sophomore defender Alex Parvu on the right wing. Parvu slid to send a low cross toward Smith, and the junior forward smashed his finish into the roof of the net to give Virginia a 1-0 advantage.The Irish earned five corners and several free kicks but couldn’t capitalize on any set pieces or convert them into any real chances. Their best opportunity of the first half came in the 41st minute, when senior midfielder Sebastian Green whipped a dangerous ball into the box for freshman forward Ren Sylvester, whose effort slipped narrowly wide of the left post.After the break, Notre Dame began to grow into the match. The Irish doubled their shot total from two to four in the second half while limiting Virginia to just five after allowing nine before halftime. All three of Blake Kelly’s saves came in that improved second period as the Irish began to find their rhythm.The contest was physical from start to finish, with the Irish whistled for 18 fouls and shown one yellow card, while Virginia committed 12 fouls. Senior midfielder KK Baffour picked up the lone yellow card for Notre Dame in the 65th minute. But the senior would later play the hero’s role — with less than five minutes remaining, he created space on the left wing and sent a driven cross into Flanagan, who redirected the ball into the back of the net, scoring on the half-volley to rescue the draw for the Irish.Flanagan delivered the long-awaited response to AJ Smith’s early goal, scoring his first of the season at the perfect time. Fittingly, the stalemate came on a night defined by the juniors — Smith for Virginia and Flanagan for Notre Dame. Friday’s draw served as another example of Notre Dame’s growing resilience in tightly contested matches.Notre Dame head coach Chad Riley reflected on that toughness afterward, saying, “Virginia is clearly a good team, and they were better in the first half. I thought our team came out well in the second half and did a great job pushing to get the equalizer. I love that we never stopped and kept going. We have to keep being a team that goes until the final whistle.”The Irish will look to carry that momentum back home next week for their regular-season home finale at Alumni Stadium against No. 10 NC State on Friday, Oct. 17 at 7:30 p.m.
The GCal invite is an underappreciated art form that should be recognized with sculptures, paintings, music, cinematography and Jeremiyah Love hurdling the defense into the end zone. Given Notre Dame’s Type-A student body, which somehow retains something of a drinking culture, our campus has the perfect atmosphere to serve as the modern Italy in this GCal renaissance. Just as there are various art styles, including impressionism, realism, expressionism and modern art, there are many approaches to crafting the perfect GCal. However, there are a few crucial ingredients every GCal should bake in.
This weekend, Notre Dame hockey traveled to Arizona State University to compete in the Ice Breaker Tournament and kickstart its season. The Irish fell short in both games of their tournament, losing 5-3 to No. 15 Arizona State on Friday and 7-2 to No. 8 Quinnipiac on Saturday. Arizona State ended up competing against the University of Alaska-Fairbanks for the championship game on Saturday, claiming the title as the hosting team.
The AP Poll has seemingly attempted to be predictive throughout the course of the season instead of simply analyzing the resumes of teams. This system of evaluating programs not for their on-field production, but for the expectation of their future in a way to “justify” your rankings later on is disappointing to see for any college football fan. Notre Dame has been a beneficiary team of this system, but that does not make it right or accurate.
When deciding on a Moreau co-curricular at 9:30 p.m. on a Friday night while sipping on Shirley Temples from the comfort of my dorm room, my friend and I came across “RED CUP.” We thought it sounded interesting. As the hardcore partiers we are, we believed that “RED CUP” could help fix our bad party habits.
Sophomore safety and team captain Adon Shuler had himself a day against NC State. The fast and physical safety was a thorn in the Wolfpack’s side, playing an integral role in holding the dangerous offense to a mere seven points. Shuler made three total tackles and recorded an early fourth-quarter interception that put an end to any hopes NC State had of coming back.
