Just because the actual 2020 Notre Dame Blue-Gold game was cancelled doesn’t mean we still can’t enjoy spring football virtually. Yes, that means Shane and I did what we do best: dusted off the XBox, fired up NCAA ’14 and simmed ourselves a glorified practice for all to enjoy.
However, knowing that this would be the only thing even close to a live football telecast and Notre Dame football experience this spring, we decided to go the extra mile. We had a Zoom chat up in the brackground to allow for some extra “crowd noise” in the audio. Shane and I also dressed up for the occasion on Twitch.
But don’t fear, this has every HLS Sim staple that you’d expect. Technical difficulties, the sim delivering over 1,000 yards of offense, a two-point conversion attempt that had to of been the result of drugs–you know, the usual.

Enjoy the podcast-exclusive cold open as well as some added music for a certain event that absolutely needed it.

Because you really want to see Shane and I dress in suits (from the waist up at least) and #LilTex steal the show.

Texan by birth, Irish by choice.
Born and raised in the great state of Texas, Tex is a first-generation Domer and a former student manager. After graduation, he left the cold winters of South Bend behind and returned back to his home state with a computer engineering degree in tow. Missing the daily grind of working football practices and talking football with fellow Irish fans every day, he took to blogging, a path which eventually led him to Her Loyal Sons. Continuously diving into stats and game film, Tex strives to break down every aspect of Fighting Irish football--even though it's determined to kill him.
