I’m Really Starting To Worry That Weis Will Never Go 3-0 at ND
Had to give this one more than a day. Ultimately, all you can really do is compare the outcome to the expectations. Michigan came into the game flying high off a strong performance against a directional. ND came in feeling confident after a strong win over a Nevada team. The two week-1 performances actually felt so similar, it was hard to tell which team was actually already playing better football at this point in the season. Going strictly by the week 1 performances of each squad, the ...
Why We’ll Never Forget
Each time the calendar hits September 11th, I find myself wondering if I should even make mention of it on this site. Our first year or two, so few people read the site that it seemed trite to do so (though I probably still did), and now that we've got a fair bit of readership we just wonder if it's appropriate given the usual content that we spread to the masses. So let me just say that it feels like it's my duty to say something even when great minds agree that saying nothing rather than ...
Friday Roundup: The “All Good Things Must End” Edition
This weekend concludes our 4th Michigan Sucks Week here at HLS. And we think it's time to make some big changes. I don't speak for everyone, but this will be my last Michigan Sucks Week. From now on, after this post, I'll no longer dutifully add "sucks" to the end of any use of the term "Michigan" (sucks!). Why? Because it just doesn't quite seem to fit anymore. Oh, to be sure, it fits Michigan (sucks!). But it doesn't fit me. Life brings changes pretty rapidly, and this season, this ...
Irish Blogger Gathering: Wherein I Force People Do Things They Don’t Want To Do, Like The Michigan (sucks!) Coaching Staff
Subway gave us the opportunity to pose the questions for this week's Irish Blogger Gathering. And we'd just like to let the other participants know that it hurts us more to ask these questions than it hurts you to answer them. Being that you're a ND blogger, and thus follow a Catholic university's football team religiously and/or are Catholic yourself, you're probably very familiar with the notion that bad things happen to good people. For a concrete example of that, look to every Irish ...

Michigan Week from Maize and Blue Colored Fauxkleys
Regular readers know that one of our, um, original regular readers (and an old friend of mine), DeepTeaKup, is a Michigan fan (and out of respect for him, I'll refrain from our usual "(sucks!)" concatenation to the "Michigan" string on this post). He's no regular Michigan fan. He actually graduated college, he actually played some football, he actually raises his children with an appreciation for proper dental hygiene, and he hails from Canada. So if you can't say anything nice about him or ...
Follow Biscuit On Gameday
Due to logistics out of our control, there will be no gameday chat today. Feel free to chat away on the sidebar to the right to your hearts content, but do also check in on our Twitter account, as Biscuit streams every random, drunken thought he has today. Enjoy, and Go Irish! ...
Friday Roundup: The “Tom Reynolds Doesn’t Understand the US Constitution” Edition
Tom Reynolds, perpetrator of the idiotic billboard from earlier this week, doesn't understand much. He doesn't understand that his voice is not "the voice of reason." He doesn't understand how to actually count a total number of supporters when he thinks they must total "roughly 50." And he doesn't understand the US Constitution. (HT: to @UHND) When asked about his monument to his own insipid lack of intellectual ability being taken down, he actually said... “What Burkhart Advertising ...
