Dumb Luck???

The internets seem quite concerned with the “likelihood” that a team that went 3-9 in 2007 (specifically, Notre Dame) would “rebound” to a “respectable record” in 2008 (say, 8-4). One such discussion is happening here. And in that discussion, a question came up that I actually find more interesting: Sure, it’s rare [...]

Friday Roundup: The “Biscuit Dropped The Ball” Edition

First, let me express my apologies to the millions of HLS readers out there who depend exclusively on HLS to deliver the latest, most timely Notre Dame Football news. There have been some really significant (huge!) verbal commitments by extraordinarily talented football players to the University of Notre Dame, and “we” failed to mention [...]

Dumbest Writer In The History of Communication Found

Holy Flaming Batsuits, Robin, I’ve found the dumbest writer in the history of communication. Illiterates probably berate this woman. Her ancestors, thousands of years ago, probably drew cave paintings of buffalo with which everyone else on the planet confused toucans. Her name is “Lisa H,” and she “writes” a blog on FoxSports.com’s [...]

Christ Negotiates Fewer UConn Games

Apparently he was able to convince the good people of East Hartford that  it wouldn’t be good for UConn (cuz Christ loooooooves Connecticut, don’t you know that???) to have the originally-proposed 10 game series happen.

Thank Christ.

If it’s true, and I have no idea if it is, Dicky Roddy is much worse than I thought.   He’s just a horrible human being.
Essentially, this WVU [...]

Nation’s Top Running Back is Irish!

Yeah, I know you already know.  But I had family in town last weekend and MQ was at the B-G Game (read his encyclopedia covering the weekend below), so we didn’t get to post on it.  Lucky for you, now we are!

Cierre committed the morning of the Blue-Gold game, and had good reasons for doing [...]

A Public Letter to ESPN…

Dear ESPN,
We’ve been receiving countless reports of your egg-head analysts naming Maurice Crum as a “notable loss” for the 2008 Notre Dame Football Team. We haven’t seen this ourselves, as we don’t watch you, but the reports are now too numerous to ignore.
Maurice Crum is, in fact, still with the team.
We know that your [...]

B&G Game Follow-Up

There were some good questions in the comments of my first post about the Blue Gold Game, and they address things I meant to talk about, so I’ll answer those questions and address some other thoughts here.

Golden Tate was on the field a lot. It was really as though he was sort of a [...]
