Note: I've decided to try and revive a series I used to do from way back (most of you wont remember it at all) called "Looking Back on What's To Come", where I take a look at the past performance of an opponent, pick some little nit, explore what that might mean for the Irish in the coming game, and get a kick out of my own word-play every time I write the series' title. The trick, of course, is that there isn't much to go by in the early weeks of the season, as nobody's played much (if at ...

HLS Top 25 Roulette: #11 Nebraska
Coulda been worse.We coulda been selling tickets on a daily deals website. Right, BC? The newest member of the Big Integer, and one of my picks to be among the next 5 programs to embrace the Age of Independence, Nebraska had a bit of an identity crisis recently until finding its way back to "Nebraska Football." Now the Huskers come into the 2011 season fresh from building a Top-10 ranked rushing game coupled with a Top-10ish (depending on the stat) Defense. Sure, it's not quite the same old ...

HLS Top 25 Roulette: #14 Stanford
When a leader leaves a highly successful organization, all observers begin to wonder how on earth the organization will continue that success. Case in point: Steve Jobs leaving Apple. Hell, Steve isn't even leaving Apple entirely, he's simply stepping down as CEO. He'll still be around, probably, enough to get that inevitable Apple iTelevision, or whatever they'll call it, just awesome enough for everyone to be willing to shell out absurd bucks. And yet the entire business and technology world ...
Oh, For Crist’s Sake
What? You expected another title? Today, before the news broke that Californian's are extraordinarily sensitive about their perceived monopoly on North American seismic events, the meme "Dayne Crist" actually bubbled up to one of the most popular topics on Twitter due, presumably, in large part to first speculation of and then confirmation of his appointment as the starting quarterback for the 2011 Notre Dame Fighting Irish Football team. Head Football Coach Brian Kelly gave a press conference ...
HLS Top 25 Roulette: #17 TCU
And now onto the best program in Texas. All the way up at, um, #17? How strong is this ale? Let's make this one easier to digest by excerpting the TCU synopsis from a very good preview of TCU over at Pre-Snap Read: A healthy Oregon State, then ranked No. 24 in the nation, hung around for most of three quarters in the season opener. San Diego State made things interesting with 14 early points and 14 late points in November. Wisconsin came within a two-point conversion of overtime in the ...
