Oh god no... We're very late to this, and that's probably good because it would have ruined our weekend. But HT to Orson over at SBN all the same. ...
Q&A With @ChampsSportsBwl
If you're a Notre Dame Football fan and use Twitter, there's almost no chance you've missed the Twitter account of The Champs Sports Bowl: @ChampsSportsBwl. When they're not tweeting helpful information about ticket delivery or parking, they're reminding us that bowl games are people too - and sometimes they're pretty funny. And sometimes a bowl game and a fan blog find each other, and, like people with magic abilities, make magic happen. However, don't you think if we had magic abilities, ...
Stop Censorship
I've censored the following, in protest of a bill that gives any corporation and the US government the power to censor the internet--a bill that could pass THIS WEEK.

New IBG! New Format! More Awesome! Too Much HLS!?
Subway just posted the newly formatted Q&A with us and a bunch of other ND-centric bloggers. Poot and I both participated. I don't think either of us even realised we'd both be participating. At any rate, I think the format is great, and I think it will do a great job of improving the discussion around ND Football going forward. Check it out! ...
Happy Thanksgiving!
We live in an age of pessimism. Take time today to really account for that which makes you thankful. It'll improve the global outlook tremendously. We're very thankful to all of you for helping us build a community and discussion that gets better every day! Also, go see The Muppets. Seriously. ...
IBG – So This Is How It Ends
This week's IBG is hosted by Keith over at Inside the Irish from NBC Sports. And I have to say, Keith really threw out one doozey of an IBG. So much so that I had to really consider whether or not I would even answer the questions this week. So here goes nothing... 1. Obviously, Saturday night's game is massive. Win, and the Irish get to nine wins after starting 0-2, and you can make a really persuasive argument that they're deserving of a BCS berth. Lose, and ND only makes incremental ...
Screw You, College Sports
I've made three attempts to write about something both focused on Notre Dame and on actual, you know, football for the last 2 hours. And I can't do it. Not right now. Nearly 2 weeks after probably the worst scandal/crime cover-up in collegiate sports history, we're still watching Happy Valley, waiting for the other shoe to drop. And so of course someone else lost their shoe in Syracuse this evening. And while we're so busy tracking sex crime allegations across members of the NCAA, we're busy ...
HLS gets #dadLife’d Again!
Gang, Just wanted to let you know that it's time to send Biscuit some congratulations. His first little collegiate kicker has arrived, and by the sounds of it, he'll probably make for a better linebacker than his dad! Congrats, Biscuit! ...
Fight For The Internet
Hi. If you're reading this, chances are really good you're part of the overwhelmingly large majority of internet users who frequent websites that involve "user created content." Basically any website that allows "user created content," be it comments, or forum posts, or the uploading of funny pictures or cute videos of your puppy and/or child, along with pithy quips on pop cutlture or the sharing of links to some good music fall under the umbrella of "user created content sites." Facebook, ...
It’s the Execution, Stupid
It's not that the helmets are some hallowed thing, not to be tinkered with. It's not that experiments with what is "classic" wont help things from becoming "stale." It's that ideas are worthless. It's that all that matters, in every facet of life in this day and age, when everyone has ideas, and nearly everyone can broadcast those ideas to the world, and everyone else can criticize the ideas as they see fit, is execution. It doesn't matter that someone decided to try to develop a novelty ...
