Marcus Freeman held an “uncomfortable” meeting for the Irish defensive staff on Tuesday following the 56-30 win against Purdue. Knowing the challenge and stakes of the next contest against a top-five offense in Arkansas, Freeman’s meeting was aimed at unifying the staff and belief in the system. Addressing the group, Freeman said, “We’ve got one of two options. We’re going to do this and get our guys better and believe in what we’re doing, or we’ll separate. And if we separate, it’s not going to be good for anybody.”
This past summer, my hometown’s local library was screening “All the President’s Men” — Alan J. Pakula’s 1976 political thriller about reporters chasing the truth of the Watergate scandal. I went and took my seat among the handful of older men and women as the lights dimmed in silence. Minutes later, New Hollywood’s golden boy, Robert Redford, first appeared on the screen, portraying the Washington Post’s investigative reporter Bob Woodward. Versions of “God, was he gorgeous,” were muttered by the entire group of women in front of me.

I am somewhat known for having a short temper. Although I would like to consider myself patient and measured, I don’t think anyone would draw likeness between me and Mother Teresa, whose organization I worked at this summer. I spent eight weeks living in Kolkata, India, through an Institute for Social Concerns fellowship working with the Missionaries of Charity at their Kalighat Home for the Dying and Destitute. Kalighat served functionally as a hospice center for those living on the streets and in the slums, ideally offering a place to die with dignity. Icons and emblems of Mother Teresa were all over the walls, in every enclave and corner, serving as a constant symbol of peace and calm, and yet my short temper still prevailed.

Holy Cross entered the matchup with a 3-4 record after falling to Grace a few nights before. Meanwhile, Indiana Northwest arrived with a record of just one win against eight losses. In addition to the conference standing implications of the contest, it served as an opportunity for the Saints to get back to an even record.

Marcus Freeman is one of the premier coaches in the world of college football, and rightfully so. After a turbulent first two full seasons in charge and a shocking loss to NIU early in his third year at the helm, Freeman went on to guide the Irish to the National Championship game. Known for his uncanny ability to inspire the players, he has become a beloved figure both on campus and beyond.
In the Sept. 12 edition of The Observer, Aynslee Dellaca’s piece entitled “Why the servant’s heart is dying” articulated today’s mainstream culture and how it is leading to individual isolation and a loss of interconnectedness among human beings. I agree with many of her assertions and the theme overall that service to mankind is losing luster to a society that increasingly craves instant gratification and a virtual sort of existence.
