It's Catholics vs Convicts revisited. The video below is all you need to get ready for this game: ...
Meet Tim Brown & The Heisman Trophy in Chicago
Loyal Readers, we have just been contacted by the folks over at Nissan who have an awesome opportunity for all those attending the game this weekend in Chicago. For those not going, don't worry there is something in store for you too. ...
Friday Roundup: The “Gauging Hurricanes” Edition
You know what I haven't done in a Roundup yet? An actual opponent preview. It's time I change that -- especially since this week I've heard far too much about how the Miami offense could potentially give the Irish troubles. All of this analysis glosses over the fact that Miami isn't that great and I'm here to fix that. ...
HLS Top 25 Lights a Tree on Fire
This week's rankings would've been rather pedestrian if not Washington's upset of Stanford. There was very minimal movement save for the nose dive the Stanford Cardinal took. If there's one thing that's been consistent thus far, you lose, the HLS staff punishes you. Just how far did they fall? Let's find out: ...
Strong of Heart
Today, the NBC Sports Network will debut "Strong of Heart: Profiles of Notre Dame Athletics" at 4:30pm EST. The show will feature current Notre Dame linebacker, Manti Te'o, and Notre Dame football stats historian, Steve Boda. The show will highlight Te'o's off-field impact and how tracking Irish stats helped Boda deal with his time in an orphanage during the Great Depression. A trailer for the show can be found below: ...

A Tale of Two QBs
There is no quarterback controversy. Brian Kelly has made that clear after each significant Tommy Rees appearance. And as much as I hated Kelly's baseball analogy after the Purdue game, he has indeed taken a baseball mindset to what is now clearly a two-QB system at Notre Dame. Unlike baseball though, once Rees the closer/reliever comes in, the gameplan drastically changes. ...
I Hereby Declare October “HLS Giveaway Month”
Here at HLS, we take pride in delivering great Notre Dame content at no charge to you, the Loyal Reader. This month though, we are taking it up a notch. Our partners and friends have given us some swag that we couldn't just keep for ourselves. So this month, we are having a little contest to give it all away. ...
Friday Roundup: The “Thank God It’s a Bye Week” Edition
Usually, I hate bye weeks. The anticipation of the next game drives me crazy. As Notre Dame has so often done in the past, our bye weeks tend to arrive right before some of our biggest games which doesn't help. This year though, it couldn't have come at a better time. ...
PSA: HLS Will Be on the Move…Again
Not that it is too much of a surprise if you are a regular visitor here and have seen the site crash continuously. Long story short: our needs have outgrown our current host, DreamHost, and we will be moving to InMotion hosting. I will be staging the move throughout the day to make things as seamless as possible, but a DNS record change will be involved. This means that you might see HLS go down starting late tonight, but hopefully we will be back on Friday and no later than Saturday. ...
Better Late Than Never: HLS Top 25
Our goal is to usually get our top 25 out at the beginning of the week, but everyone on the HLS staff ended up being slammed. We need more hours in the day. Thank God this is a bye week. ...
