We've been almost impossibly busy this offseason, so much so that the start of the season approaches us in a way that makes us question our personal experience of time and whether or not Einstein was a little confused about what is or isn't possible. And so there are a number of things we'd been meaning to really hammer away at whilst standing upon this pulpit, and we've manage to do very little of that. But this Monday, Holly, the girl who blogs about football, brought up that Nick Saban is ...
HLS Sells Out
Yeah, okay, so we've decided to be sell outs. We've added advertising to the site. For the 4 of you who read the blog with regularity before this year, you can now moan and groan to all your friends who only recently started reading us and have conversations like this: Friend: "Hey, have you heard about that amazing Notre Dame football blog, HerLoyalSons.com? They're incredible! So smart, so witty, so good looking! And funny! And they don't just cover ND Football either. Yeah, they ...

Really good interview with Jack Swarbrick: http://bit.ly/Xw0R0 # Sharpley is back on the squad. # ND's Summer Camp Session 1 is on now, ending tomorrow. Session 2 is in July.

Friday Roundup: The “Skip It” Edition
There is just nothing happening of any interest today. Maybe I've missed something, but there's just nothing too interesting going on. Everything on the 'net is looking back 30 years at something none of us care about anymore or laughing at things coaches said on Twitter. And given Iran is actually managing to get more interesting as the week has gone on, and North Korea is going to launch a missile towards Hawaii (or Brazil, if you keep drawing that line), my motivation for aggregation of ...
Clay Travis Isn’t Very Deep
Clay Travis, a man of such depth that his bio on his personal website begins... Clay Travis is the only former student manager in the history of college athletics to marry an NFL cheerleader. He managed to pull this off despite an irrational affinity for the television shows Dawson's Creek and My Super Sweet 16. Thinks that the financial situation of Notre Dame and its football program will eventually force ND to go and join a conference. (Link if you really want to bother.) In ...

Friday Roundup: The “Interesting Week In The Death of Newspapers” Edition
Not to get too meta, but it's been a really interesting week in the death of newspapers. First, one of the more "venerable" newspaper companies, which seems caught in an internal tug of war between those who "get" what's happening to the news reporting "industry" and those who don't, go on a rather odd offensive against one of the more popular "new media" companies among "early adopters." And then this happened... The Daily Show With Jon StewartMon - Thurs 11p / 10cEnd ...
Florida Starts Making It Easy For Bloggers
Over at Dr. Saturday, Holly, aka, "The Girl Who Blogs About College Football (OGMAGIRL!)," points out that Florida has begun work on damage control against the 24 arrests of Gator football players during Urban Meyer's tenure. Here's the spin or "positive light" (my comments in italics)... Only three arrests from the last three recruiting classes (including 2009) - Ok... At least 14 of the charges were dropped in the 24 cases - Ah, to have a cooperative prosecutor's office... 14 of the ...
Time May Be Running Out For ND To Beat Pete Carroll
Tim Floyd is now the former head coach of the Southern Cal Men's Basketball. Embroiled in controversy, Southern California coach Tim Floyd resigned on Tuesday. The Clarion Ledger of Jackson, Miss., first reported the resignation. The newspaper obtained the letter that the coach submitted to USC athletic director Mike Garrett. It read: "As of 1 p.m. today, I am resigning as head basketball coach at the University of Southern California. I deeply appreciate the opportunity afforded me ...
Jack, Make This Happen: Fewer ND Home Game Pep Rallies
Michael Rothstein of the Fort Wayne Journal Gazette (really bothering me this morning: what the hell is a "Gazette?"), reports that ND is trying to figure out what to do about the problem of having no appropriate venue for pep rallies during home games during the upcoming football season. For at least the past few years, Notre Dame has held its Friday football pep rallies in the Joyce Center, fans usually filing in for the 60 to 90 minute show featuring speeches from players, coaches and ...
