- Gritty Keenan looks to break through Knott defense (By CHRIS FEDERICO Sports Writer)
The last three interhall football championships have been won by either the Knott Hall Juggs or the Keenan Knights, so it could seem no more appropriate that these dorms should meet each other Sunday afternoon at 12:30 p.m. in Notre Dame Stadium for the 2000 Interhall Football title.
- Irish look to shoot down pesky Eagles (By BRIAN BURKE Sports Writer)

- Reaching his goals O'Leary leads Notre Dame toward BCS bid (By TIM CASEY Assistant Sports Editor)
Dan O'Leary had just started playing football. He was a young teenager in the early 1990s, a 6-foot-3 180-pound tight end at St. Bernadette's school in Ohio. During those years, he formed many friendships, won a lot of games and created lifelong memories.
- Eagles look for win with Hasselbeck-less offense (By KERRY SMITH Sports Editor)
In the college careers of the players that will step on the field at Notre Dame Stadium Saturday, there has not been a rivalry more heated than the Notre Dame-Boston College battle.
- Huskers clash with Wildcats in BCS battle (By PEYTON BERG Sports Writer)
On the surface, Saturday's game between the Huskers and the Wildcats doesn't look like much. A closer analysis of the infamous Bowl Championship Series poll reveals that this game is critical to the national championship race. Most observers assume that Oklahoma will play a team from Florida in the Orange Bowl for all the marbles. No. 3 Miami's grievance with No. 2 Florida State is legitimate, given the Hurricanes' 27-24 victory last month. The problem will most likely work itself out when the Seminoles host No. 5 Florida over Thanksgiving weekend.

Viewpoint
- Unpredictability of electoral results (Gary Caruso Capitol Comments)
This writer and every American pollster certainly had it right when we labeled the 2000 presidential race "too close to call." The surprise is not the closeness of the election but what exit polls revealed — some big surprises about why things turned out the way they did.

- Electoral College should stay firmly in place (Peter Zavodnyik )
This letter is in response to the Nov. 7 editorial calling for the abolition of the electoral college. The editorial board points out that voters today have greater access to information about candidates and that the principle of equality requires a decision via popular vote.
- Invitation of Lieberman compromised University's Catholic morality (Kevin E. Barton )
The extremely close election results in Florida and around the nation demonstrate that this University should have taken a stronger stance and not allowed Senator Lieberman, a Pro-Choice candidate, to speak here. In a race that Lieberman predicted would be as close as "one extra vote per voting precinct," Notre Dame provided a one-sided forum for Lieberman's message and placed its imprimatur on the entire display. Not only did the seal of this Catholic University stand physically behind the senator as he spoke in Washington Hall, but now the specter of our Notre Dame president shaking hands with Lieberman before that seal continues to stand symbolically as implicit approval of Lieberman's policies.
- Election presented voters with unwanted candidates (Nathanael Smith )
Nov. 7 was not the most important night of election 2000. It was March 7, when John McCain's defeat in the Republican primaries left the nation with two lackluster candidates.
- Address all issues of homosexuality (Observer Editorial )
Father John Harvey's talk Thursday night in DeBartolo Hall was clear and concise in its explanation of church dogma in regards to "same-sex attractions." His talk failed to address, however, several key issues concerning homosexuality at Notre Dame and Saint Mary's.
