Notre Dame’s playoff future already ‘uncertain’ after nail-biting loss to Texas A&M
SOUTH BEND, Ind. — After all of the wild, back-and-forth blows Saturday night at Notre Dame Stadium — from the first-quarter Irish blocked-punt-return touchdown to their botched extra point minutes earlier — it came down to this.

Letter to the editor: Long past time for a gun violence solution
Senseless, hate-filled violence occurs daily from people on both sides. The two parties need to find common ground with policy, particularly gun reform. Gun reform is not gun control. It is a common ground. Children are dying, as are political podcasters who spewed hate. I do not applaud the senseless...
