What Is Going on HERE?!

August 13, 2020 by Ryan Ritter

When I decided to devote time to writing about Notre Dame football, I never imaged that I'd write a post to cancel a season. I never imaged that, after a long layoff of no posting, my return would involve taking ND's president to task. I certainly didn't imagine that there would be two non-football posts as the bread to this shit sandwich. But HERE we are. Spending any time around social media this week has revealed some rather disturbing stories as to just how not-great the COVID response ...

Questionable Morality

May 27, 2020 by Ryan Ritter

Yesterday, Father John Jenkins, president of Notre Dame, penned an article through the New York Times opinion page. You might have recognized it under its original title "Science Alone Could Not Tell Us Whether to Reopen Notre Dame" (which didn't even survive twelve hours). The article houses not just Notre Dame's plan for trying to safely reopen during the COVID-19 pandemic, but the logic, or more specifically, the cited philosophical musings around the morality of education during said ...

We’re BAAAAAAAAAAACK! HLS Peeps, its Throwback Week. Wherein Domer.MQ (AKA IDTHEMIKE) and I, The (one and only) Biscuit get back into things. For 1 week. Seriously. For 1 week. No longer. Sad? Sorry. 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. And we kept winning. And winning. And winning. And we kept not writing, not writing, and not writing. ...

What Can You Make Out of This? Blue-Gold Game 2018

April 22, 2018 by Bayou Irish

With a scoring system roughly as complicated as the one used in dressage and an excitement level usually reserved for the Purdue game, the Notre Dame Football Blue-Gold Game is of interest mainly to see what progress, if any, was made over the Spring practices and how The Shirt looks in the stands. It's also a reasonable facsimile of college football, so if you're not careful and you suspend reality just enough, it can be a fair amount of fun to watch. This year's April Classic was no different ...

This is a big recruiting weekend for Notre Dame football. Recruits don't decide their future based solely on what they witness on the field. Regardless, a win over Stanford can only help with some of the academic all-stars considering playing football at one of the two schools playing in South Bend. Recruiting talk and much more in today's headlines: ...

Fans and media have spent a lot of time debating whether Coach Kelly throws his players under the bus. Today, the team captains said they absolutely don't feel Kelly is solely blaming them or their teammates for the four losses. But as a friend and fellow ND grad said to me today, "Players approved by Notre Dame to speak to the media had nothing bad to say about the man who controls their playing time and potential NFL draft position? I am shocked." I'm not that cynical, but I get his point. ...

Good morning! The big news from Tuesday is that Stanford coach David Shaw isn't certain that star running back - and onetime Heisman hopeful - Christian McCaffrey will play on Saturday. Of course, he may be trolling Irish fans, who recognize their team's chances of winning increase greatly without McCaffrey on the field. This headline and many more below. ...
