The Beat Goes On – Notre Dame vs Purdue Recap

September 19, 2021 by Ryan Ritter

Good news, everyone! Things are improving with Notre Dame! While the offense still has some things to work through, particularly Jack Coan having some odd accuracy issues, there are signs of an explosive offensive ready to break out. The offensive line, despite considering you, yes you, for LT, performed admirably. Marcus Freeman and the defense continued their path to improvement, featuring an actual smart us of the three lineman dollar formation that gave Purdue fits. Better yet, the ...

NCAA Sim: Notre Dame vs Purdue

September 17, 2021 by Ryan Ritter

You know, I was really proud of myself on this one. I thought I had everything figured out. Didn't mess up hitting buttons or anything this time around. And then the game audio didn't record right. And then the backup didn't record right. So y'all get the back up of the back up which has the entire audio. Thankfully, it's functional enough, and servers as a perfect metaphor for Notre Dame Football in 2021. Oh, and the sim definitely has tapped into that reality as well. I dare you to ...

2021 Week 3 Picks

September 16, 2021 by Ryan Ritter

Despite how crazy college football has been to open the 2021 season, Eddie and I have come out firing with above .500 records. Here's hoping we can keep the good times rolling over at the altar of GAMBLOR by taking on a slate that has some truly, truly sicko-quality games. But look, we don't hide our degeneracy here. My goal is to find a twelve-pack of games of some interest, and, by God, I'm going to deliver. Come for the picks. Stay to listen to Eddie break my brain and my spirit during ...

Failure to Launch – Notre Dame vs Toledo Recap

September 13, 2021 by Ryan Ritter

Thankfully, the frustration within this episode comes from a win. While this season definitely seems to be of the caliber of "holy crap, is anyone even good?!" (which we go into detail in our Patreon Exclusive episode), there are some major concerns for Notre Dame going forward. We talk about whether Jack Coan or Tyler Bucnher should start against Purdue, if Marcus Freeman needs to burn part of his playbook to save his own head coaching aspirations, and question if Peacock actually ...

2021 NCAA Sim: Notre Dame vs Toledo

September 10, 2021 by Ryan Ritter

After last week, it's clear that the HLS Sim is back as the most accurate prediction method in sports. It warned us the game against Florida State would be too close, and down to the wire. Do not make the mistake of ignoring the Sim this week--even if we decided that we would restrict the stream and VoD to paying subscribers of our Twitch channel. But, hey, the podcast will always be free (unless you are getting to ad-free version in the Patreon which also includes additional bonus content ...

HLS Podcast: 2021 Week 2 Picks

September 9, 2021 by Ryan Ritter

Week 1 was full of surprises, sprung traps, and failed covers (looking at you, Notre Dame). Despite the insanity, both Eddie and I finished out at 5-6-1 to bring our records to 9-7-1 for the year. Reminder, Eddie and I are battling for a $200 donation to my Extra Life campaign, so every week matters. So kick back, relax, and open another 12-pack of picks with us. Like the Irish, it's time to bounce back. #HAILGAMBLOR Podcast ...

We here at Her Loyal Sons take great pride in our NCAA Sims being the most accurate simulation method in sports. If you watched last week's Sim, you would've been prepared for a frustratingly close tilt that wasn't decided until the last minute. In order to achieve such accurate results (and pain), we take great care in replicating as much of real life as we possibly can. Since Notre Dame decided to put their football broadcast against Toledo behind a paywall, we must respond in kind to ...

HLS Recap: Notre Dame at Florida State

September 6, 2021 by Ryan Ritter

Let's be honest, the game could have and should have gone a lot better for the Irish. After having an incredible dominating opening, Notre Dame sputtered to an overtime victory, watching an 18-point lead completely disappear in the fourth. Marcus Freeman watched his Notre Dame honeymoon come to an end by inexplicably putting his defense in a three man front. Notre Dame's rushing offense struggled, but Jack Coan had a record-breaking debut. And *checks notes* Brain Kelly wants to execute his ...

2021 NCAA Sim: Notre Dame at Florida State

September 3, 2021 by Ryan Ritter

Of all bits and ideas that I've created here at Her Loyal Sons, the NCAA Sim has, by far been my favorite. Not only do we, for some reason, put ourselves at the mercy of a game released eight years ago, but Shane and I also put ourselves at the mercy of technology that somehow goes insanely awry during these episodes and streams. Loyal Listeners, I am pleased to report that we've hit peak HLS in all aspects to kick off our final sim season. We have technical difficulties, I failed to hit ...

One more time for the HLS family. Her Last Season

September 2, 2021 by Ryan Ritter

We announced this on the podcast a couple weeks ago, but we know that not everyone that swings by this site uses the podcast medium. So, if you were surprised by Irish Elvis mentioning it in his post yesterday, yes, this indeed the last season for Her Loyal Sons. Before I detail reasons and such, I want to make one thing clear. The "last season" just means no new content for the foreseeable future. I will happily keep paying the bills to keep the server and domain alive. Our Discord community ...
