A Notre Dame Football Blog
Considering that, just a few hours before recording, we found out that LSU @ Florida was postponed, Ole Miss has a COVID outbreak, and Nick Saban has COVID--yeah, we're not overly confident that all eight games on our slate will happen. That being said, they weren't cancelled as of recording. They had spreads. GAMBLOR demands tribute. Who are we to argue? #HAILGAMBLOR Podcast Twitch VoD ...
After our annual bye week gong show, it's time to get things back to normal and, hopefully, the Notre Dame schedule will as well. Considering that I had one hell of a time getting this audio together in a listenable form (please pray for my PC), those odds are good. Traditional technical issues aside, the rest of college football is keeping the straight up rollercoaster of 2020 alive and well. The Big XII continues to lobby their way out of the playoff, Mississippi State got the full Mike ...
While I definitely would've preferred Notre Dame do something a bit different this season, we find ourselves a week away from the season. While we will brace for the worst, we'll hope for the best and cover this season in the best HLS fashion that we can muster. With that said, the HLS Podcast will return, hitting your feeds on Monday, September 7, and the live Twitch recording stream on Sunday, September 6 at around 9 PM CDT / 10 PM EDT. The weekly schedule will look like this: Recap Pod ...
Fr. John Jenkins briefly address the Notre Dame community via a live YouTube stream.
A hearty hat-tip to our ACC brethren over at The Daily Tar Heel for the headline inspriation. I think of no better way to describe the current situation at Notre Dame, especially after Fr. John Jenkins addressed the Notre Dame community in a disappointing example of leadership. Feel free to watch the speech in its entirety below. It will take you less time to watch it than it would have to read his op-ed to bring students back to campus which I tore apart months ago. ...

When I decided to devote time to writing about Notre Dame football, I never imaged that I'd write a post to cancel a season. I never imaged that, after a long layoff of no posting, my return would involve taking ND's president to task. I certainly didn't imagine that there would be two non-football posts as the bread to this shit sandwich. But HERE we are. Spending any time around social media this week has revealed some rather disturbing stories as to just how not-great the COVID response ...
I hope everyone enjoyed the brief respite of our pandemic reality in Friday's post. The fun's over. The headline above isn't clickbait. It's my 100% God's-honest belief. I'm not looking to play the anti-Clay Travis for traffic (if we actually cared about pageviews in this climate, we would've posted more). It's time to cease beating around the bush or having this site remain silent while we make fleeting quips on Twitter about the season's impending doom. Yes, I've called out Fr. Jenkins ...
Some time ago, our merch vendor, TeePublic, added masks to all of our designs. Unfortunately, I became aware of this too late and their mask supply sold out. Thankfully, they are back in stock, which gives me a great excuse to debut two new designs that will see 100% of their proceeds go to charity. First we have "Go Irish, Beat COVID" which is fairly self explanatory, no? All proceeds will benefit my Extra Life campaign, benefiting the Children's Hospital Foundation of Oklahoma City. I do ...

Yesterday, Father John Jenkins, president of Notre Dame, penned an article through the New York Times opinion page. You might have recognized it under its original title "Science Alone Could Not Tell Us Whether to Reopen Notre Dame" (which didn't even survive twelve hours). The article houses not just Notre Dame's plan for trying to safely reopen during the COVID-19 pandemic, but the logic, or more specifically, the cited philosophical musings around the morality of education during said ...
