Who will claim permanent Internet victory? We Never Expected This ....is what the Hessians in Trenton said on Christmas Morning 1776. This was my 8-seed, but @ND_Phil has demonstrated his prowess repeatedly with this entry. This first made the cut into the Notre Dame Magazine, and now he's poised to take home the title hardware* with one more victory. Like the Continental Army, he was an underdog going up against superior competition, but like Brian Kelly on 2nd and short, defies ...
So, uh, surprise! The Elite Eight voting has closed. Believe me when I say that it was a surprise for me as well because coordination between Irish Elvis and I is completely optional. Anyways, let's not bury the lede here and let you know who our Final Four combatants are. When will voting close this time? Who knows?! ...
Elite 8 #BKhomeboy Bracket Welcome to the Big Show Out of my 64 initial selected images, we're now down to eight. Fortunately or unfortunately, The Internet At Large agrees with my top-tier selections, because FIVE of the remaining 8 submissions had a 1-seed or 2-seed designation. Not too shabby. Neck Pillow Region: "Sideline Quartet" vs. "South Dining Hall" Your overall #1 seed, submitted into the Twittersphere by Chris Finke during the Navy game, received the most number of votes ...
Sweet 16 #BKhomeboy Bracket Mostly Chalk After so much early chaos (that's half the fun, right?) in the early rounds, we have a remarkable Sweet Sixteen: Three 1-seedsAll four 2-seedsThree 4-seeds But outside of this, we have some fun: two 12-seeds, a 13-seed, and a 14-seed. Dark Socks Region: Pop Culture and College Football We have a 1 vs. a 4 here, with a lovely shirtless man reading a book instead of watching Florida State get blown out. We also have supergroup Brockhampton ...
Second Round #BKhomeboy Bracket Round 1: Upset City We saw eleven underdogs advance to the second round, including one 16-seed - Bridget's timely St. Patrick's Day image carried the day, and perhaps appropriately so since a meme that began in October is still getting airplay in March. 5-Seeds Beware Three of the 12-seeds advanced to the second round, so kudos to "Where's Waldo" for playing hard-to-get and making it through. That means the dangerous 12-seeds (the preview image was ...
Yes, the Madness is back. No, not March Madness, but #HLSRecapMadness. This time, we are going full #BKHomeboy style. 64 of the best #BKHomeboy photoshops will duke it out for internet glory. Shane, Garrett, and I have our own Selection Sunday and reveal the field of 64 and break down each entry with the hard-hitting analysis that only we can deliver. ...

/dusts off HLS Well hello, Loyal Readers! In case you haven't heard, this is March and that means the Madness is back. If you are disappointed that Selection Sunday will not include nearly enough Irish this St. Patrick's Day (or don't want to wait for Selection Monday for the start of a national title defense), do we have just the really dumb and stupid thing for you! Because we can't just let the #HLSRecap and it's crazy offshoots really ever truly die, we've created a new zombie in the ...
It’s February, that time of year that we live through Polar Vortex attacks and ice storms. Days begin to get slowly longer, though they generally remain dark and dreary, a continuous reminder that there is still at least six weeks of winter remaining, and that the football season is nothing but a distant memory. It is in this hour that we turn to happy and enjoyable times, like Valentine’s Day. And what would a day devoted to love be without poems and rhymes? This community of ours is nothing ...

With another signing period officially in the books, Shane and I enlist an actual recruiting analyst, Kevin Sinclair of Irish Illustrated, to join us on the podcast. Kevin helped break down the class as well as some of the major storylines in this cycle--including something about vultures and Huskies. Or maybe that was Asa Turner just trying to figure out his future as he said in his own words. I donno, crootin' is weird and people get mad. So come join us on a fun episode looking into the ...

In this podcast, we get back to our roots: a complete technological mess. Thankfully the podcast audio went off without an issue because the Twitch live stream and the backup recording somehow failed. Honestly, the season can now truly end in appropriate fashion. We laugh at Michigan. We laugh at Southern Cal. We laugh at AP voters. We laugh at Bama. Come join us for some last moments of college football before it fades away. ...
