We’re BAAAAAAAAAAACK! HLS Peeps, its Throwback Week. Wherein Domer.MQ (AKA IDTHEMIKE) and I, The (one and only) Biscuit get back into things. For 1 week. Seriously. For 1 week. No longer. Sad? Sorry. All we can do. DEAL WITH IT DEAR READERS. DEEEEEEAL. So, what’s going on here? Well, MQ and I one night, drunkenly, thought this would be good to do during the season. Then the season passed. And we kept winning. And winning. And winning. And we kept not writing, not writing, and not writing. ...

Farewell, Blogging Retirement
Loyal Readers, you might have noticed that Jude, aka andrewwinn, has taken a new gig over at One Foot Down. His first post has something to do about the strangest version of The Book of Mormon ever, so be sure to check it out. All of us at HLS want to wish Jude well and thank him for the incredible amount of work that he's done here at HLS. Now, if you're thinking some kind of blog drama or blog war is brewing, I hate to disappoint you. Biscuit might be building a Death Star of dancing ...
Friday Roundup: The “We Made It!” Episode
Loyal readers and listeners, we made it through another long annual slog that is the college football offseason. College football is here, our first football Saturday is around the corner and Notre Dame will kickoff the evening after. Actual. Football! And here at HLS, we will be able to do so in a new home as my long-awaited redesign is finally complete. I'll still be tinkering here and there with some features as this is by no means complete; however, the meat and potatoes is all on your ...
Writers Wanted
Her Loyal Sons, a growing, independent site serving fans of Notre Dame football athletics, is hiring. We are looking for an individual who is passionate about thinking and writing about all aspects of the University's athletics programs. Our site primarily focuses on football and men's basketball, but we are open to hearing from those whose passion extends beyond the gridiron or the court. But no tennis. You do not have to be a graduate of Our Lady's University. If you are though, be sure ...
HLS/ND Fan Radio Winners! and HLS Weekly Pick ‘Em
Now a week removed from watching Nick Saban re-installed as the dark lord of the college football world, I'm ready to shed a small amount of light onto a few folks. The HLS/ND Fan Radio group ended up having over 100 people participate for the glory and prizes that came with it. In the end, it wasn't much of a battle. Entry Kizer4Heisman dominated the rest of the group, and quite frankly most of the rest of the Internet. His 734 points put him in the 99.8 percentile for all ESPN entries. For his ...
The Time Has Come to Step Down
I honestly can't even believe that I am about to write these words, but, as Bayou said earlier this morning, I have resigned from my post as editor-in-chief of Her Loyal Sons. Before I get started, I want to congratulate Bayou, Moons, and Jude for their respective promotions. HLS is in fantastic hands under their leadership and, really, all of them have already been stepping up to help me out when I've been overwhelmed, which has been often recently (more on that in a bit). Of course, the ...
Changes
Tex is stepping down as Editor-in-Chief of Her Loyal Sons. It took me ten minutes to form that sentence, such is the suddenness and relative importance of the fact. http://youtu.be/2jO82fkgmoI In the five years I have been writing for this site, Tex has been a constant in my experience. He hired me over a series of emails. He guided me through posting, through administering, and through writing. None of you see the attention he gives his staff. The texts. The emails. The telephone ...
The Subway Domer Joins Her Loyal Sons!
This isn't a prank. You didn't misread the headline. I am beyond pumped and pleased to announced that The Subway Domer has joined the staff of Her Loyal Sons. This. Is. Happening. If you have no idea who The Subway Domer is, man have you missed out. Beyond running SubwayDomer.com, Subway has been an integral part of the lifeblood of the ND blogging community. He is the godfather of the IBG (Irish Blogger Gathering) which allowed for many of us, myself included, to get our foot in the ...
The Sidelines Reborn
You might remember that here at HLS, MQ launched our own forum called The Sideline. We've tried to update it and freshen it up as much as possible, but the fact of the matter was that no matter what we did, we were stuck with a clunky, terrible interface that people hated. With all kinds of other great ND forum communities out there, the Sidelines turned into a ghost town. So I made the decision to take the forums down and try to rebuild from scratch. My plans were going to result in one hell ...
