Yesterday, Notre Dame football prospect Greg Little held a press conference. Most of the world expected Little to announce he was either going to attend Notre Dame or The University of Basketball at North Carolina. It's a tough choice for the youngster, as he has to choose between two premier football programs: Notre Dame, with more National Championships in College Football than Anyone Else, a Head Coach known to be on the speed-dials of a ton of NFL offices, its own national television ...

Ranking the Rankings. Verdict? Rank.
I'm not quite sure what these voters are looking at. Maybe they like the mascots or the pretty colors of some teams' uniforms, but I thought a breakdown of the Top Ten would be worthwhile. Since the two main polls are fairly similar, I'll just go through the AP Poll. Here are this week's rankings: Week 7 AP Top 10 Ohio State Florida USC Michigan West Virginia Texas Louisville Tennessee Notre Dame California OSU is the Universe's consensus #1, ...
Game Review: Shut The &*%$ Up, Donny!
I got to enjoy a beautiful day in Notre Dame Stadium yesterday, so this will be a slightly different review from any I've written this 2006 season. I've got a lot to rant about, so hang with me. I promise I'll actually talk about the game at some point. It was sort of a strange game. While the game was never really in doubt, the "doubtlessness" of the game was in doubt quite a bit, if ya know what I mean. I've already heard a lot of people say that we "missed an opportunity" with this game ...
Is there such a thing as TOO MUCH College Football??? HELL NO!
Right now I'm flipping back and forth on two televisions between a come-back in the making in an unranked v #15 match, and the comeback is by the RANKED TEAM against Wake Forest bidding to go 6-0. And a potential upset of #2 Auburn by a young and spirited Arkansas squad. That doesn't even get into all the sweet SEC action coming up shortly, as well as Texas - OU. And of course we can't forget the featured matchup (read: impending blowout) of the Irish over Stanford. I LOVE me some ...
Why is this the first I’m hearing about this site?
No time to write anything funny. I need to point out this site, and I need to make mention that Coach Weis was not on it until I put him there. This is a travesty of epic proportions that we must remedy by getting Coach Weis up in the rankings. ...
One Highly Qualified Prediction: Stanford at Notre Dame
This game is tougher to call than you might think. For one, there's the fact that, while Stanford sucks on the field like Michigan does in life, their defense looked pretty good against UCLA. For another, this is the classic underdog-gets-to-play-at-Notre-Dame setup. These kids will be jazzed from the start, and while Charlie insists that emotions don't play much of a role in a game after 5 minutes, those first 5 minutes can mean a lot. And if ND isn't ready to play from the start, the whole ...
Friday Roundup
I was at work late last night, and so I decided to try ESPN's gamecast of the NC State/FSU game, because, given their performances this season, these teams were in for a shootout! And man, watching the game in sub-Tecmo Bowl definition was awesome! FSU reminds me of my 8th grade Pee Wee team without all the execution. Anyone get the feeling Bobby Bowden's one son who can't get a head coaching job for reasons other than being a corrupt soul learned his play-calling skills from ...
ESPN’s Mike & Mike to Sing “Livin’ on a Prayer,” Shower in Beer
SOUTH BEND, Ind.--The Linebacker Lounge, a popular seedy bar located southeast of Notre Dame Stadium, is preparing to host ESPN's popular metrosexual morning sports talk show, "Mike & Mike in the Morning". The show, hosted by Mike Greenberg and Mike Golic, rolls into South Bend Friday morning, certainly on the shoulders of some influence from Golic, a former Notre Dame football player. And the piano sounds like a carnival! And the microphone smells like a beer! HLS was lucky enough to ...
Bogies On The Radar: Peanut Butter Cup Edition
About time to start looking at what our opponents are doing this season. With a nod to (fellow domer) Drew for the inspiration, we'll be looking at our opponets thru peanut butter glasses. Sugary, chocolatey, peanutbuttery glassess. Mmmmmmm.... Ahem. On with the review... Georgia Tech - (4-1, ND Result: Loss): Having just soundly defeated Virginia Tech, the Jackets now look like a truly formidable opponent that wasn't just amped to the max to be playing ND to start the season. In fact, ...
