Time to check out what our opponents are up to these days... Georgia Tech - (3-1, ND Result: Lost 17-14): GT has bounced back from what had to be a pretty emotionally draining loss to ND to start the season. But then, against the schedule they've faced since the ND game, anything less would be criminal. Still, they did essentially blow out Virginia this past Thursday while they were the only game in town on National Cable Television. Still, a lot of pundits are screaming for Chan Gailley to ...

HLS Drops Ball, Fails to Mock Clarett
COLUMBUS, OHIO---It has been more than four days since former Ohio State running back and future ESPN studio analyst Maurice Clarett pled guilty to aggravated robbery and carrying a concealed weapon, the punishment for which will be at least three and a half years in prison. Yet at the internet site, Her Loyal Sons, which covers college football from a Notre Dame viewpoint, not a single article about Clarett could be found. Model citizen Maurice Clarett shows off his new uniform. "Well, I ...
MSU: Not Just About Football
So over the past week we have heard much about MSU's storied football tradition, but did you know MSU is not just a football school?

Megaphone Trophy Spotted
HLS spies deep within East Lansing have managed to return a picture of MSU's beloved Megaphone Trophy: It should now be quite obvious to everyone why the Irish did not bring the trophey to last years game (that shade of pink clashes with our gold helmets of course). ...
Dan Revsine, ESPN College Football Expert, Does Not Actually Watch or Review Games.
In his cute little "article" called "Behind the Numbers," ESPN "journalist" Dan Revsine displays a lack of competence or lack of interest in his field of focus when he uses Notre Dame's blow-out loss to Michigan last week as an example of poor defensive performance. Quoth the latest villate idiot: "38: On the other end of the defensive spectrum, Notre Dame gave up 47 points in its loss to Michigan. That's the most the Irish have given up at home since falling to Purdue 51-19 in 1960. For ...
Friday Roundup
Lots of quality stuff in the blogosphere today: The House Rock Built has an excellent edition of their Friday Night Lites. Pay close attention to what his guest from the Enlightened Spartan has to say about MSU's team, and you might feel a little better about ND's chances tomorrow. Irish Round Table makes me want to go and buy a Mac. Wizard of Odds picks ND to win in his GOTW. Colin at Irish Eyes says that the Irish's confidence is back. Fire Mark May, the second greatest cause on ...

Florida Has A Drug Problem
Urban Meyer's father might have told him that it's easier to win at Florida than at Notre Dame, but it's also easier and cheaper to get drugs in Florida too. Hey, speaking of drugs, Florida's best pash rusher was suspended indefinetly (read: Until Florida Really Needs Him), for failing a drug test. (EDSBS has it here.) Again. Coincidence? Probably, but we here at HLS will never fail to confuse coincidence with correlation. Or was it correlation with causation? Or coincidence with causation? ...
The Cunning Use of Flags…
HLS Intel has discovered that the incident of Michigan State football players planting a MSU flag in the middle of the field at Notre Dame Stadium on September 15, 2005 was actually the first in a series of such incidents world-wide. Apparently Hugo Chavez should be worrying more about MSU and less about George Bush. HLS Intel Officer Eddie Izzard explains the technique that MSU is employing in his report here. HLS Intel has also received the following spy-satellite images, catching the MSU ...
