To be honest, there's very little talk of the rest of the world of college football in this one. The combination of a rather calm week one slate and BEATING MICHIGAN, means we get through the big headlines quick and get to the pure joy of Notre Dame's victory. It's a lot of fun to podcast like this. I move that this happens every week. Enjoy the show! ...

Week 1 Picks and HLS Pick ‘Em
Y'all, we've finally made it and I'm happy to report that Eddie and I are absolutely back on our degenerate bullshit once again. With Notre Dame football just around the corner, it's time to start the picks in earnest. As we mention on the show, the Pick 'Em is back once again. This will be a manual process this year, so please bear with me on that. The link is the same as last year: herloyalsons.com/pickem. You can also find the pick 'em form embedded at the bottom of this post as ...
HLS Podcast: Coughing Up a Lung Into Week One
I may be playing hurt and coughing up a lung but that doesn't stop Shane and I from bringing you the latest headlines heading into the 2018 college football season. Week one may be a little light, but we welcome football back with open arms. Oh, and Notre Dame has a big game as well. Check out the podcast below: ...
NCAA Sim 2018: Notre Dame vs Michigan
I don't know about you, Loyal Readers, but I'm ridiculously starved for college football. Generally, around this time, we used to be blessed with the presence of EA Sports' NCAA series until legal issues with player likenesses nuked the seriesĀ (related: please pay athletes royalties and bring it back, kthx). However, a small group of fine folks over at Operation Sports, keep the series alive by updating the roster every year. Considering our new presence on Twitch, I pitched an idea to Shane ...
HLS Podcast: Counting Down the Irish with Douglas Farmer
Last Friday, I revealed my top 25 ranking of the Irish Roster. Over the weekend, Shane and I sat down with the man that helps us count down the Irish every year, Douglas Farmer. We discussed my rankings, observations from all submitted ballots and general thoughts about Notre Dame Football. In fact, the discussion was so thought provoking, Douglas had a realization about the rankings: ...
HLS Podcast: Previewing the Irish with Tyler James
We're back! After a long hiatus, Shane and I return with Tyler James of ND Insider and the South Bend Tribune to talk ND Football as well as some of the wonderful things in the ND Insider Preview magazine (which you should absolutely buy). Plus, Shane and I reveal an idea that's sure to get everyone ready for Notre Dame vs. Michigan under the lights. Want to catch the podcast in video form? Tune in to our Twitch channel at 8pm ET tonight for the premiere. ...
HLS Podcast: 2018 Blue/Gold Recap
It's been far too long since Shane and I have done the podcast thing. The Blue/Gold scrimmage was a perfect excuse to get back into it. This also happened to be the first episode that we streamed live via Twitch. Going forward, this will be the best way to make sure you can catch the podcast as soon as humanly possible (because editing the thing for the feed does take some time and I need to sleep on occasion), plus you get to see our smiling faces as well as some visual aids. If you'd like ...
HLS Podcast: Tide Rolls and the ND Offseason Steamrolls
Folks, the 2017 has officially concluded. In true fashion, the podcast is delayed a day which, of course, brings some of the worst possible news for Notre Dame fans. Plus, winners are announced for the HLS Pick 'Em. We will take a bit of a break after this episode--mostly to avoid bringing any further terrible news for at least a little while. ...
HLS Podcast – SEC: Swiping Elko and Championships
Podcasting is a fun medium; however, when using it to cover a sport that can go zero to stupid at the drop of the hat, things get weird. With no plans to talk about Notre Dame at all in this episode, Shane and I recorded early, blissfully unaware that Mike Elko would hold a job in College Station the following day. So, as sweet summer children, we do nothing but preview the National Championship between Georgia and Alabama (while attempting to crown UCF as CFB's true champion). Through the ...
HLS Podcast: We Demand More Citrus! (aka, The Sickcast)
Shane and I could use every last bit of vitamin C from the Citrus Bowl trophy as they are both under the weather to break down Notre Dame's victory over LSU. It's like a drunkcast, only more sober and painful on the vocal chords. ...
