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. Texas A&M had fourth-and-goal from the 11-yard line with 19 seconds to play....

The preseason is now over for Penn State, and we still have some questions. The Nittany Lions, as expected, dismantled Villanova, 52-6, in the final of three low-level nonconference games. They’re 3-0 entering Big Ten play, and that alone is a win. Jim Knowles’ defense was stout once again, holding...

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...

And so another act of political violence has taken a life; and a wife and two small children are left without a husband and father. That scenario alone, without delving into the whos, whats and whys, should be enough to make normal people feel somber and sad for our country...

Westmoreland County Commissioners are putting the brakes on spending. That makes sense. The county is not exactly swimming in cash. In December 2023, commissioners pivoted toward a last-minute tax increase to address shortfalls. Both the Republican majority and Democratic minority on the board agreed the county was in financial difficulty...

We live in confusing times, with Charlie Kirk’s political assassination serving as a bellwether event. Is there truth? Is there absolute truth? Where does truth emanate from? Is the United States a Judeo-Christian enterprise guided by natural law? If you enter a debate, one deconstructs your opponent’s argument, exposing the...

On the first day of camp in 2005, Thiel football coach Jack Leipheimer stood in front of his players and laid out the expectation for the season. Dan Hess, then a freshman tailback, remembers the moment vividly. The Tomcats were coming off a 7-3 season (4-1 in the Presidents’ Athletic...

Imagine what Anthony Stribling would have looked like on film if he had two healthy knees.
