As promised, I've working on some changes to the HLS this offseason. We've been long, long overdue for some upgrades, but to do so, I needed to upgrade our theme and clean up quite a bit of the coding. I've done so and, of course, anything that I touch goes straight to hell no matter how much I test things out. I've been able to iron most of the details out tonight, but don't be surprised if you see a few design elements off here and there. However, we've been able to take advantage of a ...

The offseason is a lonely wasteland, so we must amuse ourselves at the misfortunes of others. Thankfully, Tex has a little something for us. ...

Disqus Is Back
The first change to HLS is now complete: Disqus is back as our commenting system and is now better than ever. We scrapped it back in 2012 mostly due to confusion with Disqus and HLS logins being different and having no way to link the two together. That is now a thing of the past. You will notice that "HLS Login" is now one of the available options to log in to Disqus. This will automatically create a Disqus account that you can log in to at anytime. This of course is just one option to ...
A New Year’s Greeting
Welcome to 2014, Loyal Readers. I hope your hangovers are treating you well and that you will be able to kick back, relax, and enjoy a great day of college football. I wanted to take a little bit of time to thank everyone for another great year here at HLS. This is largely a labor of love/an insane expression of rabid fandom and y'all help make it a hell of a lot of fun. Further, thanks to your support through our various advertising partners, I've been able to send out a $100 donation to ...

Blog Wars Ended, HLS Victorious!
Okay, so not really, but given the back and forth over the years between HLS and the now-defeated Subway Domer, I think it's an appropriate headline. But really, more seriously, even in our clear and overwhelming victory we at HLS are sad to see SD go. A voice of reason insanity and calm profanity for years, SD was a mainstay that we will all, very seriously, miss. (for real, we will, as we dance our victorious dance on his grave). Sure, he had his moments and there were times where the ...

HLS Maintenance: Memorial Day Weekend Edition
As I mentioned in a previous Roundup, I have been doing a bit of work in the background to make HLS a bit leaner and meaner. We've seen a bit of success here, meaning that I can safely move us back to our usual hosting plan instead of the emergency upgrade my pocketbook got slammed with. What this means for you, the Loyal Reader, is that HLS will be under maintenance throughout the entire Memorial Day weekend starting this Friday, May 24. ...

HLS Welcomes Back Rent Like a Champion!
All of us here at HLS are excited to welcome back Rent Like a Champion as one of our partners in 2013. FACT: Notre Dame football has yet to lose a game when the RLAC banner flies over HLS. It wasn't up in January and we all know what happened then. SCIENCE! ...
Friday Roundup: The “Camp HLS” Edition
Notre Dame football is still a couple of weeks away from their spring practice officially starting. However, they are now in the middle of "Camp Kelly" -- the infamous grueling, yet needed, workouts in preparation for spring football. The success of 2012 is now a distant memory and the time to lay the groundwork for the 2013 campaign begins with Paul Longo's cracking of the offseason whip. HLS had quite a successful year in 2012 as well. The launch of our new theme and addition of our new ...
