Friday Roundup: The Hard Seltzer Edition

August 23, 2019 by Ryan Ritter

As I teased last week, I wanted to discuss the hard seltzer renaissance that we're witnessing. I'm honestly if there's a better word to explain it because the concept itself isn't new, but the maneuver to capitalize on it sure has been something to witness. My first non-Zima-re-release dip into this sparkling booze pool came back when Mrs. Tex and I attempted the keto diet. While, yes, you can certainly have liquor, we craved a beer substitute--something that you could just pull out of the ...

Notre Dame Ranked #17 in Pre-Season Coaches’ Poll

July 31, 2014 by Ryan Ritter

Now less than a month away from kickoff, another sign of the impending end of the long offseason arrives: the first official pre-season poll. The Coaches' Poll, now somehow sponsored by Amway, is out and your Notre Dame Fighting Irish come in ranked at #17. Here is the full poll: Some thoughts: Perfectly fine with ND's ranking. It's basically in that pack of "teams that should be good" area which is fair. Alabama got zero first place votes, yet Oregon, Ohio State, and South ...

Computers, Humans, and Polling Disparities

November 5, 2013 by The Irish Twins

Well, I for one welcome our new computer overlords. The BCS in its current form - ridiculous - is hitting the home stretch. At this point, no self-respecting fan of college football should be able to sing any praises of this system which proved to be experimental at best and lacking, limited, and lousy at worst. Systematic and complex ranking algorithms, whether human or CPU-based, have been both the calling card and scourge of college football for quite some time. In a grand sense, there is ...

Good Fridays w/Padre: ND SA

July 19, 2013 by Father Sorin

You have to write an essay – and a good one at that – in order to be admitted to Our Lady’s University.  But just anyone can buy, be given, or stumble upon a ticket to a home game.  And I’m not exactly sure that’s appropriate.  I think there should be an essay application for anyone – student, alum, subway alum, or first-time fan – who wants to enter the House the Rockne Built…except the other team’s people, who we know are illiterate.  So I’ve taken this year’s actual essay questions, written ...

Good Fridays w/Padre: Courage!

January 11, 2013 by Father Sorin

“By the waters of Miami, there we sat down and wept, when we remembered Notre Dame.” This is why, in our wisdom, we make you all take philosophy and theology, whether you like it or not.  This is why you have to know a little something about what’s written in the Good Book, in order to be given a diploma written by our University. ...

Good Fridays w/Padre: Sing-Along

December 7, 2012 by Father Sorin

Even though it’s Advent, a time of sober preparation, and finals, a time of wailing and gnashing of teeth, people are already becoming sentimental and excited about Christmas.  Maybe not Alabama students, since Tuscaloosa proudly calls itself Druid City (in which case we wish them a happy Winter Solstice).  Even though it’s traditional to give presents on the Feast of the Nativity, the gift we are all hoping for won’t come until January 7.  We’ll just pretend that there were actually four Magi ...

Good Fridays w/Padre: Mercy

November 30, 2012 by Father Sorin

We find ourselves is a strange position, awash with unaccustomed emotions. No, this has nothing to do with being undefeated and Number 1.  That is our proper position and we should feel simple contentment for, indeed, all is right with the world.  I mean we are caught up in the unusual furor of conference-hatred.  Not belonging to one of these mutual-mediocrity-assurance societies, we have no natural animosity toward any of them.  Normally, we deride them all equally.  (Do we hate the Big 10?  ...

Why, No, We Didn’t Forget About the HLS Top 25!

November 29, 2012 by Ryan Ritter

Ok, so last week was nuts. Staff was busy and their genius editor-in-chief forgot the spreadsheet that calculates everything was on his work laptop that was at work. My bad. Anyways, we pick back up once again, although both Twibby and Biscuit sadly were not able to vote this week unfortunately. No matter though, the show must go on! ...

Notre Dame #2 in HLS Top 25

November 2, 2012 by Ryan Ritter

It's been quite the crazy week and it delayed getting this together. Sadly the computer rankings are also delayed as I am running into some coding issues. Yes, I am just full of delays, but the show must go on! ...
