Ticket gouging was enough

Friday, Aug. 25, 2017

On Wednesday morning, I learned that Notre Dame is selling its game day experiences. And not figuratively: per WNDU, Notre Dame is charging U.S. dollars for the “opportunity to slap the ‘Play Like a Champion Today’ sign and get a picture on the field the day before the game, a tour of the press box and a special viewing of the player walk, and postgame access to the field. A Fast Pass [let’s hope Disney’s trademark lawyers don’t see this] for fans looking to skip the lines is also available.” And for $50, you can participate in the player walk. No word yet on whether you can be blamed for the NC State loss.

Dear Mr. Finn Wittrock

Wednesday, Aug. 23, 2017

I want to start out by saying I am an enormous fan. I want to say I am your biggest fan, but I feel I have only scratched the surface in your talented portfolio of acting. The first time I saw you was as Greg in “La La Land,” a gripping performance where you showed your care for Emma Stone’s character Mia and the heartbreak she caused you. I think we both agree that Greg got a bad shake in that whole situation. You can understand then, that by the end of the movie I was quite surprised that she ended up with that sellout actor and not you, the caring ex-boyfriend whose brother had connections with Japan or China or wherever.

Don't expect anything this semester

By Matthew Williams · Tuesday, Aug. 22, 2017

Expect nothing and you will enjoy everything. This sentence seems contradictory, but the idea it captures is one of the most meaningful nuggets of wisdom I've mined from my time at Notre Dame. It has the power to make the ordinary extraordinary, to make every day spectacular from the moment you hop out of bed, and to make life monumentally more joyful. To explain how I need to note a few things first. Let's start with our minds.

Save the philosophy

Tuesday, Aug. 22, 2017

At Irish Rover meetings, I sometimes catch a sideways glance when the staff is reminded that I’m a finance major. At business events, I tend to get a raised eyebrow when I mention I’m a theology minor.
