Well, the NCAA Mens Baskeball Tournament wrapped up last night with all the excitement of a 6th grade class doing a close narrative study of Kontiki. Florida won. And by extension, "Jordan Fromholt" (Clearly a reference to some arcane art-house movie) won the Her Loyal Sons' Bracketitis Challenge. Congratulations, Jordan. We'd get you one of these to commemorate the event, but we don't have the budget and we're a little peeved that you picked Florida to win it all. That's sort of like ...

This Reminds Me Of My Entire Life
Just checking into the Her Loyal Sons' Bracketitis NCAA Men's Basketball National Championship Tournament Bracket Game Hosted By CBS Sportsline.com, I see that I'm right where I've been my entire life: Right in the middle of the pack. Hey, if you're never the winner, then nobody will ever notice you enough to hate you. That's my motto. It doesn't exactly roll off the tongue, but what do you want? Something memorable? Then someone might notice it and me. And all I've ever gotten for being ...
Announcing Her Loyal Sons’ Bracketitis!
Let's face it: the rest of the month will be devoted exclusively to College Basketball. We can accept that. Hell, we even like it. It's not exactly the major focus of Her Loyal Sons, but we're flexible. Not Cirque Du Soleil flexible, but flexible enough to embrace this time of year and let it embrace us. As such, we're starting a little NCAA Men's BBall Tourney Bracket Game. Feel free to sign up and add it to your 4500 other bracket games. Bracket Site: ...
It’s Not Our Fault!
All 19 of our regular readers may have noticed that the site is being a bit "tricky" today like my hip. It's not our fault. We have a feeling that one of the several 3rd party "widgets" we employ behind the scenes have broken due to the time change or stupidity. We just removed one of them, and suddenly the site works fine. Web 2.0 my ass. UPDATE: Aha! It's not our fault! Turns out our ISP GoDaddy has been having issues with Daylight Savings Time. GoDaddy: We hire really ugly, well ...
HLS Mistakenly Left Off Most Influential List. domer.mq Confused, Drinking.
It was bad enough that we were overlooked for the College Football Blog Awards in the same glaring fashion that Kirsten Dunst's "Marie Antoinette" was overlooked for Best Picture, now we've somehow been left off of the "Most Influential Sports Blogger" list. Next someone's gonna tell me that Cedric the Entertainer isn't this generation's Spielberg. I don't know who this "Dan Shanoff" (nice alias) is, or why he thinks he's qualified to write such a list (Seriously, who here actually thinks ...
The College Football Blog Awards Nominations Are Out… (Updated (again))
...and HLS didn't score a single nomination. What the hell!? Now that I've calmed down and stopped screaming obscenities in Berber (a language of Nomadic tribesmen in Northern Africa (look it up)), and my neighbors have all stopped calling the feds, and the feds have all stopped "checking in" on me "for my own well being," I'd like to address the nominations for each category. This is so not smurfy. The Trev Alberts Quits To Do Construction Award HLS Nomination Status: Not ...

Friday Roundup
Before I get to the Roundup, I want to point out that there are precious few moments left for YOU to win this. All you have to do is follow these rules. And if you do so, you might produce something fun like this: So get going! The Roundup: EDSBS points out that when a Head Football Coach of Football, West Virginia University says he's planning to stay with his team forever, it's sorta like when your 11th grade girlfriend promises that she'll stay with you forever. But don't feel ...
