A Notre Dame Football Blog
Each week in this space, we examine two things: Notre Dame's strength of schedule (from USA Today's Sagarin rankings), and who Irish opponents are facing. For those of who want to scout future opponents, I'll give you my recommendation for who to watch when you're not watching Notre Dame Football. ...
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 ...

The title says it all. The recap of the world of college football focuses in on the playoff picture as Notre Dame has practically punched their own ticket. Plus, we take a look into Notre Dame capping off their perfect season against Southern Cal and how they overcame a sluggish first half. It's time to enjoy the ultimate bye week while everyone else plays in a conference title game that doesn't really matter. Start your cheeseburger party with us. ...
On the last full football Saturday of 2018, a day on which fourth ranked Michigan (sucks!) wrecked its season against (the) Ohio State University, and seventh ranked LSU lost to the twenty-second ranked team in the country 74-72, Notre Dame won. In a stadium stained garnet and gold, Notre Dame won. To cap a season that gave truth to the motto, "Winning is Hard," Notre Dame won. With the Fighting Irish 11-0 and third in the CFP polls heading into the game, the Trojans had two choices: lay ...
Happy Turkey Day, y'all! Here at HLS, I know what you really need to get through your turkey-induced naps and that uncomfortable moment when your uncle decides it's time to start talking politics: degenerate gambling picks.

With the combination of a long weekend in Vegas and the Thanksgiving holidays, we figured it would make a lot more sense to just cook up one big 'ol feast of an episode. We have the recap of week 12, Notre Dame's victory over Syracuse, and of course the ever-popular NCAA sim between Notre Dame and Southern Cal. Enjoy the holidays and this perfect excuse to escape from your family and/or drown out the eventual and uncomfortable politics discussion at the dinner table. ...
Notre Dame students put hatred of Southern Cal to good use by accepting donations for swings at this car in 2011.

Week 11 was a week of chalk around college football, but there's still lots to cover as the conference and playoff pictures continue to come into focus. Of course, we also talk a lot of Notre Dame crushing Florida Sate as we wonder if we can can put the "green jersey curse" to rest and...should we start talking more about comparisons to Clemson rather than Michigan? ...

The Irish are now #3 in the nation, controlling their own playoff destiny. With week 11 bringing interesting, yet not-quite-overly-epic matchups, the Notre Dame hosts hapless Florida State in the blistering cold on Senior Day. As we do every week, we use the most accurate preview method in all of college football, NCAA '14, to sim this home finale. Senior day. Snow. Green jerseys. Brandon Wimbush. What could possibly go wrong? ...
