And Our Hearts Forever. Love Thee, Notre Dame
For as long as I remember, my goal was to attend Notre Dame. No one in my family had attended the University and, to this day, my family is unsure where my obsession started. The most popular explanation is someone sat me down to watch Rudy when I was younger. (An explanation that I’m sure is fairly common among ND fans my age). Explanation or not, that was my goal throughout high school. My high school actually share the same uniform design as ND, the closest I’d ever get to suiting up as a ...

Explosive offense with a great QB and stud WR and a porous defense at times. OSU returns a ton of talent on offense, most importantly 55 year old quarterback Brandon Weeden and Justin Blackmon. The only position heading into 2011 that is lacking experience is running back but both new running backs ...

HLS Top 25 Roulette – #7 Boise State
Boise State was really good last year. Boise State was also really hated which definitely effected how some people analyzed how good of a team they were. Pat Forde's incessant bus tweets notwithstanding, it took an epic comeback by one of the most prolific dual-threat QBs in recent memory AND a monumental choke job by Boise's kicker for them to lose their only game last year. The glee I saw on twitter when the Nevada kick went through the uprights was unmatched by anything else I saw last year. ...
