Answer: I'd never have any interest in seeing Cheerios in a bowl. Waka waka. Subway was nice enough to ask that we host the 2011 Bowl Game edition of the Irish Blogger Gathering, and he must have caught us on a good day because we were nice enough to say yes. So I put together a set of questions. At first I'd aimed to use some good questions from my Twitter followers, but I'd actually harvested enough good questions there that I instead aimed to create a manageable set of ...
Irish Blogger Gathering
New IBG! New Format! More Awesome! Too Much HLS!?
Subway just posted the newly formatted Q&A with us and a bunch of other ND-centric bloggers. Poot and I both participated. I don't think either of us even realised we'd both be participating. At any rate, I think the format is great, and I think it will do a great job of improving the discussion around ND Football going forward. Check it out! ...
IBG – So This Is How It Ends
This week's IBG is hosted by Keith over at Inside the Irish from NBC Sports. And I have to say, Keith really threw out one doozey of an IBG. So much so that I had to really consider whether or not I would even answer the questions this week. So here goes nothing... 1. Obviously, Saturday night's game is massive. Win, and the Irish get to nine wins after starting 0-2, and you can make a really persuasive argument that they're deserving of a BCS berth. Lose, and ND only makes incremental ...
Irish Blogger Gathering: BC Week
Yours truly is the host this week...and away we go: Having actually seen the uniforms in the wild on Saturday night, what are your final thoughts regarding them? Does Ronald Darby stating that he liked them change your views on trying out the different uniforms for the “Shamrock Series� While I technically was at the game in person on Saturday, those of you who follow me on twitter know what kind of shape I was in. Anyway, having watched the game on my DVR, the helmet did ...
Irish Blogger Gathering: In Just Under the Gun
That's right, I'm burning the midnight oil here at HLS! It seems the team here at HLS weren't the only ones that had a crazy week as the Subway Domer had to call a quick audible at the beginning of this week and take over IBG hosting duties. Please do check out his post which has his questions and answers for this week and make sure you check out his home page for all the other IBG responses. 1.So, uh, the defense has looked pretty good. Give me a stat that most exemplifies what this ...
Irish Blogger Gathering: The Reckoning Edition
This week's IBG is hosted by long-time HLS tweep, NDTex. Tex has been blogging for quite a while, but only recently has he re-dedicated himself to Notre Dame football blogging. Go check out his site for the the rest of the IBG, stay for his completely insane but fascinating Top25 ranking system (and you know that's really something when I call it insane). 1. Let's go ahead and talk about the big pink elephant in the room. After two absolutely horrid, heart-breaking, and downright ...
Irish Blogger Gathering: Michigan (SUCKS!) Week
UPDATED WITH ANSWERS!!! And check out the rest of the crew's responses: SUBWAY DOMER making it happen in a very subtle, humble way. Irish Round Table making it...around. Lehgoooooo Irish is up and at 'em. OFD puts One. Foot. Down. Domer Law lays it down. Blog Davie produces at the speed of the actual Coach. UHND doesn't want much, he just wants to stop Denard! So the ol' IBG duties fall to me this week. Lord help us all! There's nothing worse than Michigan. Well, maybe Herpes ...
Irish Blogger Gathering: The “See, I Can Be Optimistic” Edition
The opening week's IBG is hosted by Frank over at UHND. You probably already know he runs one of the top ND fan forums on the net, but he also writes one of the better Irish blogs too! So head on over there, check out his responses to his own questions and links to others! 1. The big news of last week was Dayne Crist winning the starting QB spot. Are you happy with the outcome and how comfortable are you with Crist as the starting quarterback for the 2011 season? I think ...
IBG: Domer Law Brings the Foo!
We're winding down our hosting stint of the pre-season IBG, and Domer Law knows just how to get my attention: Bring the Foo! ...
IBG: We Never Graduate Never Gives Up
Like Ali in the Jungle, Like Nelson in Jail... (Also, Mattare is the first one to intro me to a song I'd not heard before. +8 pts.) ...
