Yes, the Madness is back. No, not March Madness, but #HLSRecapMadness. This time, we are going full #BKHomeboy style. 64 of the best #BKHomeboy photoshops will duke it out for internet glory. Shane, Garrett, and I have our own Selection Sunday and reveal the field of 64 and break down each entry with the hard-hitting analysis that only we can deliver. ...

/dusts off HLS Well hello, Loyal Readers! In case you haven't heard, this is March and that means the Madness is back. If you are disappointed that Selection Sunday will not include nearly enough Irish this St. Patrick's Day (or don't want to wait for Selection Monday for the start of a national title defense), do we have just the really dumb and stupid thing for you! Because we can't just let the #HLSRecap and it's crazy offshoots really ever truly die, we've created a new zombie in the ...

With another signing period officially in the books, Shane and I enlist an actual recruiting analyst, Kevin Sinclair of Irish Illustrated, to join us on the podcast. Kevin helped break down the class as well as some of the major storylines in this cycle--including something about vultures and Huskies. Or maybe that was Asa Turner just trying to figure out his future as he said in his own words. I donno, crootin' is weird and people get mad. So come join us on a fun episode looking into the ...

In this podcast, we get back to our roots: a complete technological mess. Thankfully the podcast audio went off without an issue because the Twitch live stream and the backup recording somehow failed. Honestly, the season can now truly end in appropriate fashion. We laugh at Michigan. We laugh at Southern Cal. We laugh at AP voters. We laugh at Bama. Come join us for some last moments of college football before it fades away. ...

By popular demand, we bring to you virtual Dabo and virtual Saban locking horns in NCAA '14 for our national title preview. There is a bit of Notre Dame in this show as well as we recap recent departures (up to the time of recording on Friday) and I have a little bit of a rant in response to some of the initial fallout of the Cotton Bowl Loss. ...
All good things must come to an end, and much like Notre Dame's perfect season, it's time to bid farewell to the picks pod. But before Eddie and I head into that long, cold offseason, we go over the futures picks from the beginning of the year as well as picking Bama and Clemson. There's a tussle at the top, so make sure to get your picks in at herloyalsons.com/pickem and close out strong. We hope you had the time of your life, y'all. Go Irish, #HAILGAMBLOR. ...

Happy new year, everyone, we didn't even make it 48 hours into 2019 without someone throwing out a click bait headline that's making the rounds nationally. Your leader in the clubhouse for worst click bait of 2019 is David Haugh, an old favorite punching bag of HLS. I guess it's been too long since he's done a drive-by hit-piece on Notre Dame, so here we are. Anyways, we should start with the thing everyone, including national media is quote tweeting: ...

Yes, the Cotton Bowl was awful. Shane and I dive into the mess with a very active chat. However the highlight, in my opinion at least, was absolutely the interviews that I conducted during the HLS tailgate. Jessica Smetana from Sports Illustrated, and former ND O-linemen, and current ESPN personality, Mike Golic Jr. take top billing. However, don't sleep on an ND fan attending his first game, the HLS OGs, NDEddieMac, and some of my fellow Otters. Enjoy! ...
The New Year's Six is finally upon us. This means that it's time to round out the bowl picks, and finally talk some Notre Dame vs Clemson in the Cotton Bowl. Make sure to join in on the fun via herloyalsons.com/pickem for your chance at some free HLS swag. Enjoy the show. Go Irish. #HAILGAMBLOR ...

It's been far too long since we've been able to deliver the most accurate of all college football preview methods: The NCAA '14 Sim. Shane and I took advantage of an unexpected bowl cancellation to deliver a sim of Notre Dame vs Clemson in the Cotton Bowl. Did this turn into a complete disaster or has virtual BK used the break to finally coach normally? ...if you've seen or heard any of these sims, you already know the answer. However, I can promise that this sim absolutely delivers on ...
