A Notre Dame Football Blog
What, your copy of NCAA '14 looks different?
Our drunkest sim ever. That's the description for this. There are no other words. Well, save for that the audio quality is a little below what I'd like because I tried to tinker with things. But it doesn't matter. It matches this perfectly. We apologize for nothing. ...
Fresh off a very successful week one of--well, whatever this season will be--Eddie and I head back to the altar of GAMBLOR to keep the hot hand going. We have more ACC, more Big XII, and some kind of weird non-conference game for Notre Dame. It's the last week before the SEC joins the fray, so come get a taste of this weekend's dual power conference slate with us! #HAILGAMBLOR ...

Notre Dame fans have been constantly told that the Irish should just join the conference and play real football. Well, ND did and we've yet to lose a conference game. Wear it. Seriously, what's so hard about this? No, Big XII, you can sit down after getting trounced by the Sun Belt and the powerhouse that is *checks notes* Houston Baptist. FSU can take a seat as well after blessing us with a hilarious ACC opening loss to Georgia Tech. Oh, we talk a bunch of ND football against Duke ...
As we mentioned earlier in the week, the 2020 HLS Sim season will be in its own universe. Fans are in the stands, Notre Dame Stadium still has grass, and Kevin Austin magically has no injuries to speak off. Virtual Notre Dame begins their road to the virtual ACC title against Duke in an opening tilt in the rain. Y'all know the drill by now and if you don't...well, prepare for an experience unlike anything else. (Also, if you hear occasional pops/clipping on my audio, that isn't your ...
Honestly, if it weren't for the $100 gentlemen's wager, aka a donation to Extra Life to fight pediatric cancer, between Eddie and I, the picks might have gotten canned this year. In fact, the headaches began 24 hours before recording in which a game on our original slate got cancelled. This is going to be fun... Anyways, every week Eddie and I will attempt to bring you our "expert" opinions on Notre Dame's matchup, six games from around the country, and one bonus game picked by Eddie since ...
Much like the ACC, SEC, and Big 12, the HLS podcast is charging ahead with the 2020 season. We have no idea what to expect, how to feel, and even how to schedule a podcast around this. The only thing that we know for certain is that the sim will exist in its own separate, COVID-free world and we will freely talk about any and everything that is on our minds this season. Y'all know the drill at this point, and if you are new here, welcome aboard, stay a while, and hopefully we can provide you ...
While I definitely would've preferred Notre Dame do something a bit different this season, we find ourselves a week away from the season. While we will brace for the worst, we'll hope for the best and cover this season in the best HLS fashion that we can muster. With that said, the HLS Podcast will return, hitting your feeds on Monday, September 7, and the live Twitch recording stream on Sunday, September 6 at around 9 PM CDT / 10 PM EDT. The weekly schedule will look like this: Recap Pod ...
Fr. John Jenkins briefly address the Notre Dame community via a live YouTube stream.
A hearty hat-tip to our ACC brethren over at The Daily Tar Heel for the headline inspriation. I think of no better way to describe the current situation at Notre Dame, especially after Fr. John Jenkins addressed the Notre Dame community in a disappointing example of leadership. Feel free to watch the speech in its entirety below. It will take you less time to watch it than it would have to read his op-ed to bring students back to campus which I tore apart months ago. ...
I hope everyone enjoyed the brief respite of our pandemic reality in Friday's post. The fun's over. The headline above isn't clickbait. It's my 100% God's-honest belief. I'm not looking to play the anti-Clay Travis for traffic (if we actually cared about pageviews in this climate, we would've posted more). It's time to cease beating around the bush or having this site remain silent while we make fleeting quips on Twitter about the season's impending doom. Yes, I've called out Fr. Jenkins ...
Full ACC Schedule via our conference with benefits.
While a perusal of the HLS Twitter feed (and my own for that matter), paints a rather bleak picture in regards to the confidence that the 2020 college football season will even happen. However, I decided that, on the heels of our conference with benefits releasing the 2020 ACC football schedule, I decided to save the doom and gloom for another post. So, in this post, and perhaps slightly podcast-drunk from the triumphant return of the Shutdown Fullcast, I'm going to pretend that the 2020 ...
