A Notre Dame Football Blog
That's right y'all, the Friday Roundup is back! For those unfamiliar with this little feature, it's a time in which we move our focus from Notre Dame and look outward to the rest of college football. While Shane and I do this in the HLS Podcast, we can only cover so many stories before we lose everyone with a two-plus hour episode. The Roundup will house those stories, plus those that really don't need more than a quick link and mention. As is tradition, the Roundup will also have a cold ...

Yes, the Cotton Bowl was awful. Shane and I dive into the mess with a very active chat. However the highlight, in my opinion at least, was absolutely the interviews that I conducted during the HLS tailgate. Jessica Smetana from Sports Illustrated, and former ND O-linemen, and current ESPN personality, Mike Golic Jr. take top billing. However, don't sleep on an ND fan attending his first game, the HLS OGs, NDEddieMac, and some of my fellow Otters. Enjoy! ...
The New Year's Six is finally upon us. This means that it's time to round out the bowl picks, and finally talk some Notre Dame vs Clemson in the Cotton Bowl. Make sure to join in on the fun via herloyalsons.com/pickem for your chance at some free HLS swag. Enjoy the show. Go Irish. #HAILGAMBLOR ...
So my favorite part of the "Clemson is Going to Beat the Mess out of Notre Dame" is that I don't buy it. I wouldn't buy it if it were listed at $0.00 and I were playing the Bargain Game on The Price is Right. Here's why: Clemson is getting way too much credit for running the table on a schedule that makes the inter-hall football small dorm schedule look like a damn murderers' row. After a week in which we here at HerLoyalSonsdotcom rolled out the old timers for your listening enjoyment, let's ...
If you sat through the interminable Fox pregame show before the B1G championship, you were subjected to a host's visible revulsion to your undefeated Fighting Irish being somehow in the mix for a CFP spot. His ire arose from the fact that Notre Dame was not playing in a conference championship. Cheeseburger Saturday. "Why," goes my paraphrase of his passion, "should Notre Dame get a look at a playoff spot when they're not on the field playing against Pitt or Northwestern?" If you sat on ...
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. ...
