HLS Proudly Presents: The 13th Data Point

December 3, 2021 by Ryan Ritter

Loyal Readers, today kicks off an all-important and totally-not-absolutely-overrated weekend of football: conference championships. It's the all important 13th data point. National pundits have blasted Notre Dame for failing to have one. With that in mind, I thought it was important that we highlight, not just this weekend's data point, but the other important data point that got these teams to this all important moment. After all, these teams have the chance to lose another game that Notre ...

HLS Podcast: Welcome to the Offseason, Everything’s Crazy

January 15, 2020 by Ryan Ritter

Shane and I thought we'd have a nice, short relaxing show about the national title game to cap off our 2019 season podcasts. Then all hell broke loose before the offseason aged 24 hours. Notre Dame promoted Tommy Rees to offensive coordinator. Penn State found their way into a brand new scandal. Southern Cal fired everyone in the athletic department besides their football coaches. Joe Brady bolted to the NFL after extinguishing his victory cigar with LSU. Phil Jurkovec saved me from having to ...

Friday Roundup: The “Grab Bag” Episode

November 4, 2016 by Ryan Ritter

Facebook reminded me that, two years ago on this very day, I announced that the Friday Roundup would debut as an audio medium on the DFW airwaves. Quite a lot has changed since then. The show went from the radio to a podcast. From solo babbling to having guest pickers and then a permanent co-host. From staying clean to cursing like sailors. It seems fitting, to me at least, that this episode ended up being a complete episode of randomness. This college football/Notre Dame podcast ended up ...

Friday Roundup: The “Ultimate Duke Preview” Epsiode

September 23, 2016 by Ryan Ritter

So what do you do as a podcast when you need to preview a game against a terrible opponent after a terrible loss? Well, Shane and I decided to bring you you the most incredible, hard-hitting, most in-depth preview for Duke possible. If you thought that last sentence was truthful, you are going to be very disappointed. ...

Friday Roundup: The “Trick or Treat: Here’s a Podcast” Episode

October 30, 2015 by Ryan Ritter

Earlier this week, it was brought to my attention that quite a few of y'all were not aware that the Friday Roundup went podcast a few months ago. Firstly, y'all are all totally busted for not having read the Roundup in ages, but secondly it made me re-think how I've been marketing this thing. Thus, the title of this week's episode which (I hope) makes it incredibly clear that there is yet another podcast for you to consume. While Notre Dame will get its fair share of air time every week, the ...

TCB Poll: College Football Playoff

December 7, 2014 by IrishElvis

Beginning in 2014, a playoff selection committee will determine which four college football teams play for the national title. Some are skeptical of the committee, so we -- the Elvii of college football -- have joined together to present our weekly playoff nominations. We call it the T.C.B. Poll. ...

Notre Dame Still Squarely in Playoff Picture

October 24, 2014 by WhiskyPoet

I know. Being the second-ranked football team this week would make us all feel a lot more comfortable about our chances of making the inaugural edition of the College Football Playoffs. We are one silly offensive pass interference away from "hosting" a first round playoff matchup. Now that we're all done throwing our remotes, replacing our flat screens, and replenishing our liquor cabinets, it's time to look at the playoff picture. The whole picture. We don't know what exactly the 12-person ...
