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 anything about any of those commitments. As Executive Founding Benevolent Lead Managerial Omnipotent Editor of HLS, I take full responsibility for this gaffe, and I swear to you on the souls of the little blue fish that the big, ugly, black fish ate when I was 7, this will never happen again. The buck stops here. I’m going to make this right.

That said, it was all Biscuit’s fault! Oh sure, I suppose I could have done it, but I was exhausted from my Blue and Gold Game tome earlier this week, and then I was very busy with work, and then there was just so much beer to be consumed. How can you expect one man to consume that much beer and blog? What’s Biscuit’s excuse? Let’s hear it, Biscuit. Let’s hear about what on earth made your widdle wife so vewy vewy hawd that you couldn’t step up and do what we pay you to do!

The Roundup:

• Looks like Demetrius Jones makes a habit of not showing up.
• Charlie Weis, since you’re reading this, please take note.
• Kids, Mario Manningham is your brains of drugs.
• Didn’t Bear Bryant once say something about teams having a “few good seasons” thinking they were the Alabamas, Oklahomas, Michigans, Southern Cals, and Notre Dames of the world? Hey, if I were Rutgers, I’d want to sell tickets to our new stadium too, but if I were Rutgers I wouldn’t actually expect my current coach to around in 3 years.
• Making the most highly unanticipated NFL draft in memory even more highly unanticipated.
• One of the few times I think the NCAA shouldn’t spank SoCal.
• Good luck, Trevor.
• They needed some enormous balls to make this happen.

Finally, here’s a picture simply for the sake of having a picture, as we haven’t had many pictures on HLS lately.
