It's been far too long since we've been able to deliver the most accurate of all college football preview methods: The NCAA '14 Sim. Shane and I took advantage of an unexpected bowl cancellation to deliver a sim of Notre Dame vs Clemson in the Cotton Bowl. Did this turn into a complete disaster or has virtual BK used the break to finally coach normally? ...if you've seen or heard any of these sims, you already know the answer. However, I can promise that this sim absolutely delivers on ...
The podcast may be a day late, but damn near everyone is .500 or above, so we're definitely not a dollar short! Make sure to join in on the fun via herloyalsons.com/pickem to have your chance at a free piece of merch from the HLS store. Only eight games are down and going on heater can easily win this thing. Oh, and we have all the bowl games available to pick because we know the holidays are here. We cover all the bowl games up to Thursday, December 27 in this episode, so make sure you ...
Many apologies for not being able to fire off a show last night. I was caught in home renovation/repair hell and could not escape from the mess my dad and I started. Much like when you grab your ticket from the counter, once you wet mortar for a shower pan, you're committed. Still the pick 'em must go on. You will now find a full landing page that has both the current standings through week 1 and the remaining entries for the rest of bowl season. After all, the holiday/bowl travel is coming ...
It's hard to believe, but the Cotton Bowl is nearly upon us. That means I should probably kick this tailgate planning into full gear and letting everyone know the details. ...
The HLS Bowl Pick 'Em has returned! Apologies for the delay, but Yahoo decided to can their pick 'em game so I had to create one from scratch. That, plus being in home repair/renovation hell caused this to be delayed. But no matter, Eddie and I are here for the first week of glorious bowl picks and you can join in on the fun at herloyalsons.com/pickem as always (or use the form embedded below). This time, it's winner-take-all in the bowl season for a piece of merch from the HLS ...
Long-time readers will likely recognize the adorable child in the photo above as Aven. The same folks may also remember that HLS has a large part in a fundraising campaign, Savin' Aven, to help Aven and his family, which are family friends of mine, with the costs associated with his Leukemia treatment. Aven lost that battle. He was just two years old. For the third consecutive year, I'm honoring the memory of Aven through an effort called Extra Life. All proceeds raised go to the local ...

We knew it would happen last week, but now it's officially official. Notre Dame is in the playoffs and, years later, will have their chance to avenge a loss to Clemson on a gigantic stage. Thankfully, no hurricanes will be involved this time. Shane and I give our initial reactions to the news as well as a quick recap of the conference championship games around college football. ...
The stars have aligned for this Irish Texan. Notre Dame has found their way into the playoffs and into the Cotton Bowl right in my backyard. Those of y'all that have been reading for some time know that I'm a native of the DFW area. The only time I've spent away from here were my four years at Notre Dame. As such, I've been flooded with questions of where to stay, what to do, and where to go. With that in mind, I figured a little FAQ post would help out. If you find any of this useful, you ...
It's time to enjoy the best kind of bye week. While we kick back and have Thanksgiving round two with cheeseburgers, it's time to watch everyone else sweat it out to play in their conference's cash grabs--I mean, conference title games. Eddie and I pick every single one from the Sun Belt to the SEC. Oh, and by the way, only a single game separates Eddie and I in our Extra Life donation bet. To quote Eddie, let's goooooooo baby! Oh, and don't forget to enter into the pick 'em with the ...
