Notre Dame fans are an infamously impatient group. Unsurprisingly, after their team’s 27-24 loss to No. 10 Miami in the season opener, frustration and disillusionment were the prevailing sentiments. Irish faithful were quick to distribute blame, criticizing the play calling of offensive coordinator Mike Denbrock, a man many touted as one of the best in college football only days prior, and questioning why new defensive coordinator Chris Ash’s defense underperformed. These gripes have some merit. Jeremiyah Love did not get enough touches. The defensive line did not get enough pressure, and the offensive line struggled to get push in the run game or protect Carr on critical passing downs. With that said, this Notre Dame team showed enough on Sunday to give reasons for hope. Unlike devastating defeats in past seasons, from Marshall to NIU, this one is anything but an indictment of the program.

Sabrina Carpenter sparked a fervent debate this summer with the release of the cover for her seventh studio album, “Man’s Best Friend.” It featured Carpenter in a thought-provoking pose, igniting a heated discussion. Some accused it of “pandering to the male gaze” and being “regressive.” In a time when the world seems to be regressing, people were quick to point to Carpenter, one of the biggest pop stars at the moment, as being part of this. This controversy, while intense, adds an intriguing layer to the album’s narrative.

While the name “Hidden Syllabus” may seem to indicate a top-secret, lengthy search, it is not meant to force students on a scavenger hunt to find information. The syllabus is one resource that the Division of Belonging provides to underrepresented and first-generation students to help them navigate their entry into college. Together with the Student Emergency Fund, the syllabus provides comprehensive information on available departments and services, and it serves students during unforeseen circumstances.
The Holy Cross women’s soccer team will travel 45 minutes southeast this Wednesday night for an out-of-conference match against Goshen College. 0-3 to start the year, the Saints have shown potential as they work out early-season growing pains.
Notre Dame women’s soccer will travel to East Lansing on Thursday night for a square off against No. 17 Michigan State. Fresh off an eye-catching 8-0 thrashing of Oakland, a game in which seven different players found the back of the net, the Irish are looking to keep their hot start to the season alive. This time it can mean avenging a 1-2 home loss to the Spartans last season.
As Saint Mary’s volleyball prepares for a doubleheader against Benedictine, there is no doubt that the Belles will come out ready to fight. The team opened their season with a record of 4-0 at Cedar Point Invitational, wasting no time proving their ability on the court.

Sunday’s 27-24 Miami defeat of Notre Dame will be remembered for its final drives, and reasonably so. That’s where the game was most obviously won. The Hurricanes drove to kick a go-ahead field goal, and the Irish could not muster a response with more than a minute on the clock.
“Ethel Cain hated my Instagram post / Think it’s cute reenacting my Chicago pose.” These were the words uttered by musician Lana Del Rey as she shared a snippet from her upcoming album with the caption “Track 13. @jackantonoff.” These few simple words were enough to set the internet ablaze with rumors of a feud between the two, leading most members of their overlapping fandoms to take a side and criticize the other. Fans of Del Rey were quick to unleash their fury towards Cain in her Instagram comments, proclaiming their undying love for their favorite singer. What is most concerning about this event is how quickly these fans jumped at the opportunity to attack women that they do not even know, signifying that we as a society should be more concerned about the repercussions of toxic fandom culture.
Six dollars. It’s the price of a coffee from Starbucks, a paperback novel or a six pack of Diet Coke. There are many wonderful things that you can get for six dollars, yet I spent my hard-earned six dollars renting the newest artistic flop by Abel Tesfaye (AKA The Weeknd), a film entitled “Hurry Up Tomorrow.”

Like in 2024, Notre Dame opened their season in a hostile environment against a ranked opponent. This time around, it was a trip to Hard Rock Stadium to face No. 10 Miami, renewing the ‘Catholics vs. Convicts’ rivalry for the first time since their visit in 2017. Unlike the game eight years ago, which was a 41-8 domination of the Irish, tonight’s contest was a back-and-forth affair decided in the final minutes.
