Notre Dame is no stranger to the Super Bowl. Over the years, the Irish have had 75 players appear on Super Bowl rosters, going all the way back to Red Mack in Super Bowl I for the Green Bay Packers. Several other legends stand out as well: Joe Montana, Joe Theismann, Alan Page, Ricky Watters and Jerome Bettis just to name a few. The Irish have had Super Bowl champions the last two years as well: quarterback Ian Book was a member of the Super Bowl LIX champion Philadelphia Eagles while linebacker Drue Tranquill was a member of the Super Bowl LVIII champion Kansas City Chiefs. The tradition continues this year, as the Irish have two players in the Super Bowl, both members of the Seattle Seahawks: safety Julian Love and defensive lineman Rylie Mills.
The long-awaited Season 4 of “Bridgerton” dropped on Jan. 29.
“Then put your little hand in mine … ” The alarm goes off. Again. Didn’t I do this yesterday, you think to yourself? Out the window hangs the omnipresent gray permacloud. The class rotation has become a habit by this point in the semester. Time passes slowly. Every day is the same. Sure feels like “Groundhog Day,” doesn’t it?
On Monday evening, the Saint Mary’s Global Education Office virtually hosted Petra Rivera-Rideau, associate professor of American studies at Wellesley College and expert in reggaetón, for a lecture on world-renowned artist Benito Antonio Martínez Ocasio, also known as Bad Bunny. Rivera-Rideau used her 2026 co-authored book, “P FKN R: How Bad Bunny Became the Global Voice of Puerto Rican Resistance,” as an outline for her lecture of the same name. With Bad Bunny’s sweep of awards at the 68th Grammy Awards Premiere Ceremony hosted the night before and his upcoming halftime performance at the Super Bowl LX, it’s no wonder Haggar Welsh Parlor was a full house.
In the “Analects,” a collection of conversations attributed to Confucius, moral life is compared to archery: When the arrow misses the target, the archer looks inward, not outward. Confucius’ message:
In a 2026 college football predictions article published in The Athletic, Irish beat writer Pete Sampson forecast the following: “Notre Dame formally notifies the ACC of its intention to withdraw from the league and enters into a scheduling partnership with the Big Ten/SEC to fill out its missing football scheduling inventory. The rest of the Irish sports shift to the Big East.”
The recent appointment of abortion advocate Susan Ostermann to director of the Liu Institute is astonishing coming from a university dedicated to the mother of an unplanned pregnancy. And the decision should be viewed as none other than a slap in the face to every woman here.
It would be difficult to miss the nationwide demonstrations protesting the actions of the current administration. People of all ages are exercising their First Amendment rights to peacefully protest immigration enforcement policies that many feel have torn apart their communities.
There’s a concept in economics called an “opportunity cost.” It’s the potential benefit that you give up when choosing one alternative over another.
Every Notre Dame residence hall hosts an annual signature event. For Siegfried Hall, that tradition is Day of Man, held each year on the first Wednesday of February.
Over the past two weeks, students and faculty have faced concerns about phishing scams circulating via email across the Saint Mary’s College campus. Although few have been affected, the threat was significant enough to raise awareness from ResNet IT Security, the student IT services department. Students were put on high alert starting Jan. 26 via an email from ResNet.
A few hours before winning three awards at the 35th annual Gotham Film Awards in New York City, Iranian director Jafar Panahi was sentenced to a year in prison, a two-year ban on travel and a prohibition on association with any political group from his own home country. His Oscar-nominated film “It Was Just an Accident” has won several awards this season, including the famous Palme d'Or: the most prestigious award in cinema, the highest honor at the Cannes Film Festival and the first major award won by an Iranian film at Cannes. But one might ask: why is the Iranian government so against this film?
As Notre Dame students, we often find ourselves a little frustrated over the lack of culinary variety on our campus. Dining hall food may fuel the body, but it never tends to feed the soul. My search for some variety in my meals brought me to JINYA Ramen Bar, the new kid on the block within the South Bend culinary scene.
A panel of Notre Dame professors spoke on the current U.S. immigration crackdown on Monday afternoon in Jenkins Nanovic Hall, hosted by the Klau Institute for Civil and Human Rights’ Migration Research Initiative. The panelists discussed the theological, moral and legal implications of migration, situating current U.S. immigration policy within its historical and political context.
Hannah Hidalgo is not a new name for Notre Dame basketball fans. Upon her arrival in 2023, she quickly established herself as a household name and hasn’t turned back since. With the Irish struggling and March Madness hopes hanging in the balance, two huge away games on the West Coast against the University of California, Berkeley and Stanford proved to be a difficult task. After leaving Berkeley with a loss, the Irish were determined not to go home without a win. Hidalgo stepped up, putting up 37 points in a dominant performance, her second-highest points total of the season, to lead the Irish to a crucial victory over a then 15-7 Stanford.
The Notre Dame Right to Life Executive Board calls on the University to rescind the appointment of professor Susan Ostermann as the head of the Liu Institute for Asia and Asian Studies. Ostermann publicly advocates for policies that are directly opposed to the magisterial teachings of the Catholic Church, which state that abortion is an intrinsic evil. In Ostermann’s statement to The Observer, she says, “I respect Notre Dame’s institutional position on the sanctity of life at every stage.” However, she has spent her career advocating for and supporting organizations that directly contradict this statement. She has done so, moreover, in an inflammatory way; within the context of 11 op-ed pieces, she has referred to laws respecting the sanctity of life as based in “white supremacy” and “racism.” Her work as a member of the Population Council, an organization that collaborated with the Chinese government to promote abortion, contraception and the enforcement of the one-child policy, violates the dignity of human life. These and other actions render Ostermann unfit to serve as head of the Liu Institute.
With elections for student body president looming, the two tickets battled it out in a Feb. 1 debate held in Midfield Commons in Duncan Student Center.
After a very successful career as a player with Notre Dame women’s basketball, and a handful of years with the Indiana Fever, Phoenix Mercury and Detroit Shock, Niele Ivey stepped into the coaching ranks as administrative assistant at Xavier in 2005. Ivey returned to her alma mater two years later, when she began her tenure as an assistant coach, before climbing her way to the head coaching position prior to the 2020-2021 season. Her ascendancy made her the first Black woman to lead a varsity program at Notre Dame.
