No Surprise: Notre Dame Knocks Off The SEC’s Defending National Champion

No Surprise: Notre Dame Knocks Off The SEC’s Defending National Champion

Apologies to the rest of the HLS team, you're going to have to think of your own new title when we do the same thing in football on January 7th. … [Read more...]

Good Fridays w/Padre: Mercy

November 30, 2012 by Father Sorin

Good Fridays w/Padre: Mercy

We find ourselves is a strange position, awash with unaccustomed emotions. No, this has nothing to do with being undefeated and Number 1.  That is our proper position and we should feel simple contentment for, indeed, all is right with the world.  I mean we are caught up in the unusual furor of conference-hatred.  Not belonging to one of these mutual-mediocrity-assurance societies, we have no natural animosity toward any of them.  Normally, we deride them all equally.  (Do we hate the Big 10?  … [Read more...]

Friday Roundup: The “One Miiiiiiiiiiillion…” Edition

Friday Roundup: The “One Miiiiiiiiiiillion…” Edition

2012 has been a hell of a year for Notre Dame Football (and at this rate, possibly basketball as well) and it's also been a banner year for HLS. Thanks to you, Loyal Readers, for the first time in our history, HLS has broken the one million pageview threshold in a single year. … [Read more...]

Why, No, We Didn’t Forget About the HLS Top 25!

November 29, 2012 by Ryan Ritter

Ok, so last week was nuts. Staff was busy and their genius editor-in-chief forgot the spreadsheet that calculates everything was on his work laptop that was at work. My bad. Anyways, we pick back up once again, although both Twibby and Biscuit sadly were not able to vote this week unfortunately. No matter though, the show must go on! … [Read more...]

Hoop There It Is: ND v. KY

November 29, 2012 by Bayou Irish

I have about had enough of this ESS EEE SEE superiority bullshiat. We're playing KENTUCKY people! COME! ON! KENTUCKY!???! We have Manti and Tyler, Everett and Nix, Stephon and what? I'm... oh. Basketball. Got it. So tomorrow night on ESPN2 (The Deuce), your Fighting Irish cagers take on the eighth-ranked Wildcats of Kentucky in a wildly important, early season game with massive implications not, so much, for the season, but for the program. Win, and the Irish are on freaking fire -- in case … [Read more...]

The Myth of the SEC

November 28, 2012 by Ryan Ritter

The Myth of the SEC

The SEC is home to the last six BCS National Titles and they will have a shot to make it seven in January. They are home to some of the best teams that college football has to offer. Their style of play is the standard to which the rest of college football is measured in this era. Make no mistake, the SEC is good; however, like some good things, their actual excellence is oversold, over-hyped, and grown into a myth of epic proportions. … [Read more...]

Manti Te’o: The Only Logical Heisman Choice

November 27, 2012 by Ryan Ritter

Yes, I'm not pulling any punches with that headline and for good reason. Somehow Manti Te'o, the leader of the best defense that has led the Irish to a 12-0 season against a gauntlet of a schedule, is somehow an after-thought to Johnny "Football" Manziel. Many have called this race "wide open" with "no clear favorite"; however, if the Heisman voters are actually paying attention to what their award stands for the choice is simple: Manti Te'o in a landslide. … [Read more...]

Strength of Schedule: Notre Dame vs. the SEC

November 27, 2012 by Twibby

We goin' to the  shipppppp! Whew, that felt good. After Oregon and Kansas State lost a week and a half ago we no longer needed to argue that the Irish had a stronger resume than one of those two teams - it was a simply a win and you're in scenario for ND and the Irish took care of business against USC. Regardless of whether it is Alabama or Georgia that wins the 1-game playoff (aka SEC Championship) to face Notre Dame in the BCS National Championship, SEC homers will undoubtedly spend the … [Read more...]

Happy Birthday, Notre Dame

November 26, 2012 by Bayou Irish

It's easy to forget in the swirling maelstrom of awesomeness that have been the last two days, but a long, long time ago, before Twitter, and before HLS was a glint in Biscuit's eye, Fr. Sorin did something rather special. On this date, back in 1842, he and his brothers took snow-covered acreage and called it L'Université de Notre Dame du Lac. It is thus fitting that we pause and acknowledge this anniversary, one that forms a trinity of significant anniversaries this magnificent year: the … [Read more...]

Looking Ahead: Georgia, Alabama Battle to Play Notre Dame

November 26, 2012 by Bayou Irish

In case you missed it, Notre Dame defeated the USC Trojans 22-13 to finish a perfect 12-0 and pick up a Number One ranking in the BCS and AP Polls. If you really did miss it, and I have a hard time believing you did, given the game's 10.3 overnight television ratings, you must go back right away and read Tex's fantastic recap. Once you're up to speed, we can begin. Ready? Okay. On January 7, 2013, Notre Dame will in all likelihood play the winner of the SEC Championship. To be played … [Read more...]
