A Notre Dame Football Blog
I'm not used to storybook endings for Notre Dame football. That might sound a bit strange for a program full of feel-good lore, legends, and even a movie about a walk-on that managed to record a sack on his only defensive snap. That was all "back then" as many people that love to hate the Fighting Irish will consistently remind me. Recently, the script for Notre Dame football ends in nightmares. The 2012 season, and the events that followed after it, serves as a perfect example. After an ...

There was no way I was going to pass up a chance to blueprint Skunkbear demise on their on turf, so I graciously obliged. Now, we may hate Michigan with a passion here at HLS, but we are all about fair ...
Yesterday, news broke that the NCAA granted Michigan QB Devin Gardner a medical hardship. Gardner, who had a bad back and missed most of his freshmen season in 2010, will now have two seasons of eligibility left instead of just one. This news likely will make many Notre Dame fans quite upset as Jamoris Slaughter recently had his petition for a sixth year denied by the NCAA, with an appeal and #FreeSlaughter campaign ended in the same rejection.
