UPDATE: Apparently today it’s 2007. Tomorrow it will be 2008. One full year from then, it will be 2009. Thus I’ve edited the title of this post accordingly.
At the risk of looking like I’ve stolen a totally original idea from Hire Jim Essian, I’ve decided to make a few New Year Resolutions for HLS.
Her Loyal Sons resolve to:
- Let you know each and every time we hear about Urban Meyer lying to a recruit, putting feelers out in Atlanta, San Francisco, and New York about NFL jobs, or manipulating “discipline” to make sure none of his really good players ever really miss out on important playing time.
- Win an award. Any award. And if we can’t win an award, then we at HLS will create the Alabama Memorial Award for National Champion Blog and award it to ourselves. Obviously, the trophy for this award will come in the form of “Leg Lamp.”
- Bad Kermit will finish out the Friday Night Lights episode review series that he started a millennium ago. You readers can thank me, domer.mq, for ensuring that this happens.
- Biscuit will shout less in his posts.
- By the start of the 2008 season, domer.mq will complete a new Michigan (sucks!) function on the site so that every time someone writes “Michigan” (sucks!) in a post or a comment, the term “Michigan” (sucks!) will immediately be followed by the term “(sucks!)” thus alleviating the need for posters and commenters to write the term “(sucks!)” every time they write the term “Michigan” (sucks!).
- The HLS Expert Picks will become automated and may, MAY, even become open to our tens of readers. This will result in a more active community around HLS and more time with the wife for domer.mq. Bow-chicka-bow-bow.
- Any of the HLS will punch Mark May in the nose if and when we ever meet him. We will then explain that we fully understand that the constant belittling of ND is just something he does because his producers tell him to do. We’ll explain that, being Christians, we forgive him for being so weak that he’ll just do whatever his bosses want him to do. We’ll then punch him in the nose again.
- We’ll recognize that TheBigLead.com and Deadspin.com have really just become the internet versions of The Best Damned Sports Show Period if The Best Damned Sports Show Period mated with The Man Show and then became a blog.
- We will not take ourselves too seriously even though we’re clearly the best college football blog with a focus on Notre Dame on the entire internet. As with modesty, a sense of humor becomes us.
- We’ll continue to call “Lurch” “Lurch” even if he does transfer from Michigan (sucks!) immediately after their bowl game.
- We’ll lose some weight.
That’s it, really. There’s not much upon which we can improve. When one has essentially maxed out on their potential, what more can be done?
If you’ve got any suggestions, feel free to make them in the comments of this post. In the meantime, let us all give thanks to Rudolph for saving Baby New Year.

Will Leitch at Deadspin is a whiny little bitch. Just thought I’d throw that out there.
Did anybody see Montana interviewed during the Tennesee/Wisconsin game today? I love that man, and I love that his son is walking on at Notre Dame.
