If you know, you know. If you don't, well, be warned this pod is different. Jack Crosby from CBS Sports joins Eddie, Shane, and I on our annual foray into podcasting in the bye week. Topics go all over the place. We have picks scattered around. We talk video games. We talk wrestling. We talk about a whole lot of nothing. It's our favorite podcast every year and we hope you enjoy the last one under the HLS banner as well. Podcast ...
QBs, Lasers, and Heart Attacks, Oh My! Notre Dame at Virginia Tech Recap
Considering the way this season has unfolded, we should've never expected firm answers at quarterback. The twist this time: Tyler Buncher giving us all a tease that the future began Saturday night while Drew Pyne watched from the sideline. The additional twist: Jack Coan won the football game. We had the full range of emotions while the Irish escaped Blacksburg with a victory. BK apparently experienced some too as he came out firing in his post-game presser about the negative press of his ...
NCAA ’14 Sim: Notre Dame @ Virginia Tech
Well, we had an all-timer in HLS technical issues. It took five attempts to get the sim fully rolling. That's a lot--even for us. Thankfully(?), massive HLS screw ups turn into premium content. If you are a Twitch Subscriber, you can see the full, unedited VoD here and a highlight of just the screw ups here. If you are a Patreon subscriber, you'll have access to the full unedited podcast version, as well as the VoD highlight as well. We also ran a bit of an experiment this time around. ...
2021 Week 6 Picks
Eddie and I keep going back and forth with this lead and our Extra Life bet. After last week, I have tied things back up. We remain above .500 mark as we approach the midway point of this chaos season. There's still definitely time for us to screw this up, but while things are still going better than Notre Dame's QB situation, we might as well keep this thing going. Come join us at the altar of GAMBLOR once again, degenerates. We ride again and we pick the sickest of all sicko games ever ...
HLS Rantcap: Notre Dame vs Cincinnati
Quite frankly, having a final season of HLS at least one "WHAT THE HELL HAPPENED?!" loss seemed unlikely. Granted, Shane and I didn't expect to go through every possible aggravating story line: bad coaching decisions, QB controversy, stupid turnovers, and screaming at the subset of fans that see their Notre Dame ticket as an investment opportunity. This episode got us so heated that even the Homefield Apparel ad read wasn't spared a rant inclusion. We are red, mad, and nude ...
NCAA ’14 Sim: Notre Dame vs Cincinnati
The sim wears green! It's a top ten matchup at Notre Dame Stadium as Notre Dame and Cincinnati duke it out. The Irish are still battling loads of injuries and with Brian Kelly being less than forthcoming, it makes it hard to set these rosters for maximum accuracy. However, Shane receives some breaking news from an inside source that changes everything…have we created a QB controversy?! Podcastg VoD ...
2021 Week 5 Picks
Eddie and I are very cautious about bragging too much before the altar of GAMBLOR, but y'all, we had a week. Sometimes, you have to celebrate and point it out. I'm glad we've hit one hell of a stride right now as week 5 is coming in strong with some absolute bangers, as well as some absolute degenerate sicko specials. This was the first week that I had a really rough time finalizing the 12-pack. This week is that damn good. So come get join the hot streak and/or hear the beginning of our ...
Jump Around and Find Out: Notre Dame vs Wisconsin Recap
I wish I could take full credit for this episode's title, but that honor goes to @ndlauren who graciously let me use her comedic genius during Saturday's fourth quarter fireworks. There is very little to complain about in this one. Coan could find a bit more accuracy and the offensive line held together by the thinnest strands of duct tape could block better. But even with those issues, Notre Dame has this crazy confidence about them that has somehow filtered to Shane and I as well. It ...
NCAA ’14 Sim: Notre Dame “@” Wisconsin
This episode contains two things that are peak HLS: A cold open featuring the most unique possible technical meltdown we've ever had. Shane and I heard everything perfectly and the stream barely heard anything. Nearly five full minutes of scrambling while live.The sim delivered an absolute nightmare. When we thought we hit the bottom, the sim dug deeper and then dug deeper yet again. I'm honestly in awe of both happenings. We could've pulled either off if we actually planned it. This is ...
2021 Week 4 Picks
Enjoy the cold open--it's easily one of our best train wrecks and it's not even my fault this time. It's fun being on the other side of things! Anyways, what you're here for: the picks! Eddie and I have gotten off to a solid start, remaining above .500 and staying .500 or better every week. As wild as the season has been so far, we aren't taking it for granted. We'll try to keep things rolling in week 4. Now that we are finally getting into the season, Eddie and I are disagreeing with each ...
