A Notre Dame Football Blog
It feels like it's been ages since Notre Dame faced off against Louisville thanks to the rare second week bye. Now with actual Saturday football approaching (also a weird thing to say), it's time to get back into the swing of things. For us, that means only one thing: our own unique method of previewing Notre Dame Football, the most accurate predictive method in all of sports, the NCAA '14 Sim. With a slow news week we were able to jump right into the fun. Yes, Notre Dame was a heavy ...

Each week in this space, we examine two things: Notre Dame's strength of schedule (from USA Today's Sagarin rankings), and who Irish opponents are facing. For those of who want to scout future opponents, I'll give you my recommendation for who to watch when you're not watching Notre Dame Football. Who To Watch Virginia (2-0) vs Florida State (1-1), Sat 7:30PM ET, ACC Network ...
In the cold open, you get an insight into how insane I've gone with the technical side of things recently. You name it, I've seen it, including the pure user error just being plain dumb with my mixer. Anyways, after laughing at my brain malfunction, enjoy another week of picks from Eddie and I. Week 3 may not have the so-called marquee matchups, but it's college football. You should cherish every week before the cold offseason returns. We're here to help make you care if for nothing else than ...
I'm not sure we could've asked for much better during the first ever (and probably only) Hot Dog bye week. The marque game was incredible. We got a top-15 upset while everyone was asleep. Some of our favorite punching bags managed to somehow steer their games into more hilarity. And that's not even taking the Michigan/Army game into account. We also discuss the fact that Southern Cal may have found themselves a QB and an offense as well as the return of the Knight's Watch. Just because ...
One of our Loyal Readers makes sure Michigan enjoys their bye weekend during the B1G Championship game with a bag of cheeseburgers via @fathersorinramblers
One of the things that I've enjoyed the most in the past couple of years here at HLS has been our focus on our crazy little community. Case in point: @frsorinramblers whom you will find on Twitter, our Discord, and our Twitch Channel. During our Hot Dog Bye Week podcast, this Loyal Reader revealed that he would spend his bye week Ubering around Ann Arbor during Army/Michigan weekend. Here's his playlist: For those keeping score at home, that's Army's Fight Song, The Irish Tenors, "Here ...
Notre Dame may be on a bye but the picks never take a week off. After a week one in which *checks notes*--yeah, let's not talk about week 1. Perhaps much like a certain Irish QB, we need a week to get our heads right and get back on track and we have eleven games of interest for this weekend. Also, don't forget to drop in on the pick 'em and sign up before the two week grace period ends. People not named Tex are absolutely bringing it this season and it's going to be fun to watch this ...

Typically during a bye week, we all fondly remember Charlie Weis and his infamous cheeseburger comments. However, with New Mexico and Bob Davie looming on the horizon, I moved to shelve the cheeseburgers and switch to hot dogs in honor of a certain incident that is detailed in this episode. With the hot dog focus, Shane and I naturally wanted a solid round of #snacktalk. So, naturally, we brought on a guest, Jessica Smetana of Sports Illustrated and the Most Valuable Podcast, to join us in ...
Week one games are often sloppy and Notre Dame, unfortunately, was not an exception. While the Irish came away with a 35-17 victory at Louisville, sloppy play, especially from the offense and Ian Book, gave many a ND fan some Monday night heartburn. As we will attempt to do after all night games this season, Shane and I hit record shortly after the final whistle. Come for the level-headed, we got to sleep on it recap of the national scene in week 1. Stay for the knee-jerk reactions about ...
Unless you live under a rock, you've heard about THE, as in Ohio State trying to copyright the word, chicken sandwich from Popeyes. I had heard about this fast food culinary masterpiece before Shane talked about it on the podcast. Despite the title, I'm not here to gush about it. It's good. I miss it. I downloaded the app to be notified when it's back. I'm more amazed about how this damn thing took off. A combination of social media, mainstream media coverage, and word of mouth watched a ...
