Shane and I weren't planning on doing any podcasts until the Blue/Gold game came near in April. That decision seems like decades ago rather than a couple of months. COVID-19, aka the Cornoavirus, wasn't even a blip on the radar. When it was clear spring football would be cancelled last week, we made plans to find a time to get back on the podcasting devices. Not even a full week has passed and it already seems like that was a year ago. And now, on night of St. Patrick's Day, we hit the ...

HLS Podcast: Welcome to the Offseason, Everything’s Crazy
Shane and I thought we'd have a nice, short relaxing show about the national title game to cap off our 2019 season podcasts. Then all hell broke loose before the offseason aged 24 hours. Notre Dame promoted Tommy Rees to offensive coordinator. Penn State found their way into a brand new scandal. Southern Cal fired everyone in the athletic department besides their football coaches. Joe Brady bolted to the NFL after extinguishing his victory cigar with LSU. Phil Jurkovec saved me from having to ...
HLS Podcast: National Championship Sim – #1 LSU vs #3 Clemson
The 2019 Sim Season has come down to this. One final fever dream from my XBox, victimizing two teams that, thankfully, Shane and I do not care about. I think I now have no choice but to check my XBox into rehab after this one. Enjoy! ...

It's hard to believe, but, with this podcast now in the books, there will be only one more game to pick: the National Championship.

HLS Podcast: First New Year’s Six and Camping World Bowl Recaps
The last real college football Saturday went out with one hell of a bang, kicking off with a convincing Notre Dame victory in the Camping World Bowl, and follow up with a great run of three New Year's Six games. The evening was capped with what was, easily, one of the better semifinal matchups that we've had the pleasure of witnessing in the young history of the college football playoff. Shane and I hopped on the mics shortly after the final whistle of Clemson's defeat of Ohio State to recap ...
HLS Podcast: The Camping World Bowl NCAA Sim – Notre Dame vs Iowa State
Shane and I often say that our NCAA Sim is constantly on drugs, but I feel like a special delivery was made over the holiday. I'm not even sure how to describe this one beyond the fact that, as seems to be tradition, all your worst "Hold Me, I'm Irish" fears come through in this virtual mayhem. It's the last Notre Dame Sim of 2019, so buckle up and join us one last time as Notre Dame takes on Iowa State in the Russel Ath--err, Camping World Bowl. ...
HLS Podcast: ‘Tis the Season for Bowl Picks
Post-Christmas and pre-New Year's would, generally sound like a time in which non-major bowl games would take place. College football, however, is a weird place. Half of the New Years Six, including both semifinal games, will take place in this period, plus Notre Dame's foray into the Camping World Bowl. There are some awesome matchups to dive into, so, after you are done with your holiday cheer, come join Eddie and I at the altar of GAMBLOR once again. #HAILGAMBLOR ...

HLS Podcast: Extra Life 2019 Special
I wasn't planning on releasing a podcast. In fact, the interviews that you are about to hear were initially planned to debut during my 24-hour Extra Life marathon. But then Chip Long and Notre Dame decided to break up. In a happy accident, one of my guests, Ty Hildenbrandt of The Solid Verbal, already had a scheduled interview just a mere 24 hours after the news broke. So it seemed rather appropriate to get our thoughts on the situation in your podcast feeds ASAP with the added benefit of ...
