WHAT'S UP HLS NATION?!?!?!?!!??! WE are back, and the leprechauns are as spry as ever. It's been another busy offseason of loathing Michigan (because they SUCK) and USC (grooooooan, they're so bad right now it's amaaaaaaazing) and waiting for the polls to ding us more than everyone else for losing to Clemson (#9 yay!) Dance, Dance, Dance! A reminder: the Leprechauns help me predict the season by giving us a scale of relative (un)certainty on said predictions. I'm generally either ...

No Respect!
ND is the Rodney Dangerfield of the CFP, no doubt. First there’s the arguments that ND shouldn’t be in at all (See my WAH WAH BABY WAH post), which thankfully the committee outright ignored. But now the pundits, and Vegas, have ND losing almost to a man, and our beloved Irish are -11 to -12. Seriously? That’s absurd. Let’s evaluate the ND vs Clemson matchup in a few different ways to see how this makes any sense (spoiler: it does not). Record this Season Both undefeated. Clemson 13-0 but ...

Do Not Go Gentle Into That Urban Good Night
Actually, no, never mind, ignore that line, Urban. Go, go go. Gently. Quietly. Silently. Now. It's time. Seriously, dude, go. Go already. WHAT'S HAPPENING GO!!!!! Urban has let down his players, the sport, his duty, and his own humanity. Move along, you will not be missed. Let's focus on a few of the biggest ways Urban tainted a sport that gave him everything: First, there's the arrests. Just a few highlights from his Top arrests at Florida. From 2009... Example 1: Jamar ...

All we can do. DEAL WITH IT DEAR READERS. DEEEEEEAL. So, what’s going on here? Well, MQ and I one night, drunkenly, thought this would be good to do during the season. Then the season passed.
