- FOOTBALL: Losses leave Irish with little more than pride (ANDREW SOUKUP Associate Sports Editor)
At the beginning of the season, the Irish had lofty expectations. They talked about cracking into the Top 10. They talked about making a BCS bowl. They talked about challenging for a national championship. But a 0-3 start and a 3-5 record have brought those lofty expectations crashing down to earth. Now, all the Irish are left talking about is pride.

Inside
- A call to end mass e-mails (Teresa Fralish Viewpoint Copy Editor)
Imagine this: about 2,000 random people have access to your e-mail address. They can annoy you with various advertisements for makeup services, tickets and goldfish for sale or spinning classes, all very unsolicited, mind you. You can do nothing about this, but must waste 20 to 30 minutes of your day reading and deleting such aggravating messages. Of course, this is the circumstance here at Saint Mary's.

- Respect your fellow man (Emily Ford sophomore)
This past Saturday I witnessed an event even more disheartening than Notre Dame's loss. As I was leaving the game, I noticed that a Stadium employee was distributing posters in exchange for a coupon.
- Demonstrate the Notre Dame spirit (Rachel Swartz senior)
I had the rare opportunity to share the experience that is Notre Dame football with my family recently. I am a senior and my father had been unable to attend a home game in my previous three years here.

David Lynch has never played by the rules, either the ones newly created or those already well-established.
