Notre Dame star Hannah Hidalgo got honest about Olivia Miles' decision to transfer to TCU.

Notre Dame struggled to find the end zone early in the Blue-Gold game, but it's starting to get untracked as the afternoon wears on. Penalties and sacks stalled early drives on the cusp of the red zone, but after CJ Carr found Elijah Burress for a short touchdown pass, Kenny Minchey, who is battling Carr and Steve Angeli for the starting quarterback job, used his legs for a touchdown, which he punctuated with a perfectly executed back flip. Minchey is probably the best running quarterback of the three. The offense (Team Blue) has opened up a big lead over the defense (Team Gold). It's 61-31 as of this writing, following another Irish touchdown. Kenny took it to the house and he nailed the back flip 😎 #GoIrish ☘️ | @meijer | @kenny_minchey pic.twitter.com/DlVWfpFZgp — Notre Dame Football (@NDFootball) April 12, 2025 Contact/Follow us @IrishWireND on X (formerly Twitter), and like our page on Facebook to follow ongoing coverage of Notre Dame news, notes and opinions.

As mayor of Mishawaka and president of Accelerate Indiana Municipalities, I’ve seen firsthand how state decisions impact local communities. Current tax proposals — particularly the freeze of the Maximum Levy Growth Quotient (MLGQ) — pose serious risks to cities and towns across Indiana. Local governments provide essential services like police and fire protection, clean water, wastewater management, and well-maintained infrastructure. These aren’t luxuries — they are foundational. The proposed MLGQ freeze would cut $300 million from local governments in year one, ballooning to $800 million by year three. These aren’t temporary losses — they’re permanent reductions that will compound...
