Notre Dame Father’s Day Gift Giveaway
It's safe to say that there are just a few things going on in the world right now. So, please forgive me as I get right to the point in lieu of an incredibly awkward intro and just get straight to the point. Our friends over at Playbook Products, who put up a set of their slate coasters as part of the HLS Pick 'Em grand prize this past year, are wanting to do a Father's Day giveaway. Up for grabs are two different prizes: a set of the slate coasters pictured above, and a coffee mug similar to ...
Preview Like a Champion
About a month ago, the fine folks at Rent Like a Champion handed me a very well-done and concise Notre Dame Football preview for us to share. God bless each and every one of them for their patience for me just getting around to it. You can download that season preview over at their site for free--all you have to provide is your email address. As we've been doing a lot of (re)introductions here at HLS, it's probably a good time to let y'all know about the longest running sponsor that we've ...

So if Christmas shopping/deal hunting in your pajamas is your thing, you can also help out HLS while doing so. Here are some ways you can help us: ...
Three Ways Notre Dame Can Beat USC
[Editor note: This is a guest post from Hank, hailing from our good friends and partners from Rent Like a Champion. Take it away, Hank!] Well, half the regular season is in the books, and the Fighting Irish sit at 5-1 and #16 in the latest AP poll. At Rent Like A Champion, we haven’t just been helping fans find amazing vacation rentals near Notre Dame Stadium all season long (shameless plug, we’ve got nearly 1,000 weekend homes available for YOUR next South Bend weekend), we’ve been ...
Support HLS: Amazon Prime Day
On Wednesday, July 15, Amazon will celebrate their 20th anniversary with Amazon Prime Day. Amazon promises that this one-day event will have more deals than Black Friday (Amazon's Twitter account is teasing some of the deals today with the #HappyPrimeDay hashtag), making this a perfect time to support HLS. HLS is an Amazon Affiliate, meaning if you click any of our Amazon links, we will get a small commission on pretty much anything that you purchase. There's no catch here. You can just hop ...
Rent Like a Champion Goes Nationwide
This year, the fine folks at Rent Like a Champion are once again partnering with HLS to spread the news of affordable weekend rentals in South Bend during football season and major events like commencement. The ND alumni-founded business has saved over 3,000 Notre Dame football fans serious cash from the hotel gouging in the area, as well as making South Bend homeowners over $3 million in extra income. Now, they are expanding their rental business nationwide. While Rent Like a Champion has ...
Introducing Park n’ Party
You have probably noticed a new banner on our site this week for Park n' Party who I'm excited to announce as a new partner for Her Loyal Sons. So what do they do? Think of it as Rent Like a Champion, but for parking spots. The only thing worth more than Notre Dame tickets are parking passes for the stadium and library lots. Actually, let's be honest, it's easier and cheaper to find a ND ticket than a parking pass more often than not. At that point, you are stuck in a public lot that ...
BREAKING: Field Turf Installation Claims Another ND Tradition
I suppose it was only a matter of time before Notre Dame's war on natural grass started claiming additional traditions. For years, Notre Dame has held a Fantasy Camp on campus, culminating with every camper donning the blue & gold and fulfilling their ND dream by running out of the tunnel and playing in a game in the House That Rock Built on the Grass That Rock Grew™. However, the folks at the ND Fantasy Camp, whom have been running a campaign with us for a little over a month, ...
Brace Yourself, Valentine’s Day Is Coming
This is your reminder that you have just a little over two weeks to get your Valentine's Day plan together. If there is one staple for this day, it is flowers. You know, those things that tend to skyrocket in price for this holiday. Oh sure, you are likely going to see a "deal" in your inbox that makes you think that you are getting off the hook, but after all the hidden charges, you've spent at least three times as much as you initially expected. Our sponsor, The Bouqs, founded by a Notre ...
