    • We are ND? (by MIKE CONNOLLY )
      I have never been more proud to be a Notre Dame student than I was on Saturday. The spirit and energy rising from the student section was incredible. From holding hands in a show of unity for the Irish offense in overtime to screaming our lungs out to support the defense, the student section sent a solid message that we are the best fans in college football.

    • Fans react to ND-Nebraska Ticket holders sold out to red (Letter to the Editor Josh Quinn)
      Embarassed. Humiliated. Betrayed. No, I'm not feeling this way because Notre Dame lost to the University of Nebraska in football. In fact, I thought we played a decent game. I'm feeling this way thanks to certain people who call themselves "alumni" and "fans" of our University.
    • Fans react to ND-Nebraska Lacking voice in decision (Letter to the Editor Mugimin Lukito)

    • Fans react to ND-Nebraska Thank team for hard work (Letter to the Editor Kathleen Hoag)
      I wonder if some alumni have forgotten the pride a Notre Dame student feels for those fellow students who wear our colors and choose to sacrifice and suffer in our Lady's Holy Name. I know that after today, as long as I live, I shall never forget the pride I felt watching our football team do battle against Nebraska. As much as anyone, I prayed for victory, but what I witnessed was a mountain of courage and fortitude, along with the incredible coaching of Bob Davie and his staff. If you love Notre Dame, the victory surely would have been ecstasy, but the pride and admiration for our team could have been no bigger.

    • Honoring his father, an American hero (Gary Caruso Capitol Comments)
      As the millennium whirled by, my father began his 11th year as mayor of my hometown: Canonsburg, Pennsylvania. In the spring of 1999 he had completed the enormous two-year task of organizing an initiative that constructed a plaza and erected a statue of hometown international singing personality Perry Como. My father was looking forward to his own re-election campaign next year for a fourth term, a la FDR, and he had organized a committee to plan our city's 200th birthday celebration in 2002. For him, life was busy and rewarding until he suddenly passed away following spleen surgery early Friday morning of Memorial Day weekend.

    • A little closer to home (Scott Little just a little)
      On Friday I went out with my friends to some places (I am under 21 (see fifth amendment)). I got bored so I went to Osco drug store and bought some Fahrenheit cologne, some Fannie May chocolate mints, a deck of cards and some bar-b-que pork rinds. I got the pork rinds because some town style people told me that they were delicious. I thought they tasted like dried up bacon. The lady in Osco told me that they were the new diet fad É hmmm, maybe.
