A Notre Dame Football Blog
We are truly blessed that this week's slate isn't loaded with bangers. All focus can remain where it needs to be: hating those bastards from Southern Cal. But while we await (read: heavily drink before) kickoff, we have our usual twelve pack of picks to tide you over on College Football Saturday. We continue to hit this year strong and Eddie and I aren't about to stop now. #FSouthernCal #FUSC #HAILGAMBLOR ...
Loyal listeners, you are in for a special treat. With the bye week, Shane and I delivered our weekly national recap episode, which is typically behind the $1/month (or more!) Patreon paywall, for free. Shane called it, were-dick and all. Purdue took out Iowa and it wasn't even close. While that was the biggest upset that landed, others gave a valiant attempt while Notre Dame took a well-deserved week off. Other teams established their dominance. Fans of other teams *cough*Tennessee*cough* ...
If you know, you know. If you don't, well, be warned this pod is different. Jack Crosby from CBS Sports joins Eddie, Shane, and I on our annual foray into podcasting in the bye week. Topics go all over the place. We have picks scattered around. We talk video games. We talk wrestling. We talk about a whole lot of nothing. It's our favorite podcast every year and we hope you enjoy the last one under the HLS banner as well. Podcast ...
Considering the way this season has unfolded, we should've never expected firm answers at quarterback. The twist this time: Tyler Buncher giving us all a tease that the future began Saturday night while Drew Pyne watched from the sideline. The additional twist: Jack Coan won the football game. We had the full range of emotions while the Irish escaped Blacksburg with a victory. BK apparently experienced some too as he came out firing in his post-game presser about the negative press of his ...

Well, we had an all-timer in HLS technical issues. It took five attempts to get the sim fully rolling. That's a lot--even for us. Thankfully(?), massive HLS screw ups turn into premium content. If you are a Twitch Subscriber, you can see the full, unedited VoD here and a highlight of just the screw ups here. If you are a Patreon subscriber, you'll have access to the full unedited podcast version, as well as the VoD highlight as well. We also ran a bit of an experiment this time around. ...

Eddie and I keep going back and forth with this lead and our Extra Life bet. After last week, I have tied things back up. We remain above .500 mark as we approach the midway point of this chaos season. There's still definitely time for us to screw this up, but while things are still going better than Notre Dame's QB situation, we might as well keep this thing going. Come join us at the altar of GAMBLOR once again, degenerates. We ride again and we pick the sickest of all sicko games ever ...
The ICU beds surrounding the Virginia Tech campus are 96% full, and Lane Stadium may be 100% full on Saturday night. Some folks will do anything to avoid watching the ACC Network. The Irish are back on the good side of the metrics here this week after going against long odds each of the past two weeks. That offensive gap could easily flex depending upon who's under center for the visitors, but ND fans have long been enamored with the backup QB, so don't expect much to change. I can't ...

Quite frankly, having a final season of HLS at least one "WHAT THE HELL HAPPENED?!" loss seemed unlikely. Granted, Shane and I didn't expect to go through every possible aggravating story line: bad coaching decisions, QB controversy, stupid turnovers, and screaming at the subset of fans that see their Notre Dame ticket as an investment opportunity. This episode got us so heated that even the Homefield Apparel ad read wasn't spared a rant inclusion. We are red, mad, and nude ...
Here at Her Loyal Sons, we strive for equal parts optimism and free discourse.
Sorry for the delay folks, but I'm here to discuss winning percentages and -- </entire athletic department brandishes a cattle prod> MOOOOOVING RIGHT ALONG TO CINCINNATI FOOTBALL These advanced stats look quite a bit like last week's, and I'm not sure if that's a good or bad thing. The old saying is "if you have three quarterbacks, you have four wins" or something, but the offensive output will need to continue moving along, or else the defense will need to reprise its ...

The sim wears green! It's a top ten matchup at Notre Dame Stadium as Notre Dame and Cincinnati duke it out. The Irish are still battling loads of injuries and with Brian Kelly being less than forthcoming, it makes it hard to set these rosters for maximum accuracy. However, Shane receives some breaking news from an inside source that changes everything…have we created a QB controversy?! Podcastg VoD ...
