For the first 5 years of Her Loyal Sons, we’ve kept things, “in the family,” if you will. Believe it or not, over the course of our blogging reign, HLS has had somewhere around 10 people contribute to the site as authors at one point or another. Yes, even Fr. Birdonell is real and not a figment of our imaginations. But over time our “family,” all guys who knew each other all-too-well from our days at Notre Dame long, long, loooooooooong ago, has been handed responsibilities by this world (out of shear desperation, and for lack of better options), and those responsibilities tend to get stacked up over “post something mildly analytical, mostly poorly planned, and possibly involving animated GIFs about College Football.”
So, in an effort to bring more of the “quality” of writing you’ve come to expect at HLS, we’ve been out recruiting. Picture the Maryland Coaching Search, but with less glamor and more rejections. The result is this: Our newest contributor, PootND.
Many of you may know PootND from his moderating duties over at Mike Frank’s site. Still more of you may know him as “@PootND” on Twitter, typically using his account to remind me of how old I’ve gotten. And if neither of those references ring a bell, surely you’ve come across the hash-tag meme that’s taken the world by storm: #DammitPoot (trust us, the Notre Dame Twitterati use that tag at least 10 times a day).
So join me in congratulating Poot. He’s done it. His life’s goal has been achieved.

Blast and bebother with life’s responsibilities (says the guy who hasn’t had kids yet…that he’s aware of, at least).
Three cheers for Poot!
I identified the prospect early from some tape. We had to bring him out to a 1-day camp to extend the offer, but man he delivered, and earned it. A 4-star recruit on Scout, we have him as 5-star potential on our board. Not to mention that as a Skill guy he fits a huge need in the Recruiting category. Always been Irish, but now a Loyal Son. Welcome aboard Poot! Now take back this coffee! I said triple shot! TRIPLE!!!!!!
