Notre Dame and Georgia Series Puts Two ND/Texas Games in Danger

June 26, 2014 by Ryan Ritter

On Wednesday afternoon, Notre Dame finally made the rumored Georgia series official via Twitter: https://twitter.com/NDFootball/status/481876814714138624 While there was certainly much rejoicing about the series, an immediate damper was put on the celebration with an announcement that two future games against Texas were now in danger: https://twitter.com/McMurphyESPN/status/481932056017252352 You are now likely having one of two reactions: "DAMMIT!" "Wait, isn't ND/Texas ...

Friday Roundup: The “Zack Martin, You Broke My Heart” Edition

May 30, 2014 by Ryan Ritter

Some times, I wonder why I love sports so much. They can cause me such pain and even in, what has been a quiet offseason to this point, Notre Dame football still finds a way to troll me. The Dallas Cowboys kicked off their OTAs this week and our best defender, middle linebacker, Sean Lee, when down with what will likely be a season ending ACL tear. So where's the Notre Dame connection? First round draft pick, Zack Martin, was the one that fell on him to cause the ...

Friday Roundup: The “RIP, Tex” Edition

April 11, 2014 by Ryan Ritter

Here's a recipe for disaster: have your NOLA bachelor party the weekend after you come back from a trip to Vegas. Oh, sure, it was a work trip to Vegas; however, since I learned how to run a much smoother trade show, I actually got to hang out with my coworkers and they are just as much a bunch of gambling/drunk degenerates as I am. The most painful of these nights was spurred by one of my bosses leading the way to terrible decisions. Needless to say, I had a blast. Now, by the time you read ...

Friday Roundup: The “Celebrating Freedom” Edition

July 5, 2013 by Ryan Ritter

This week, I have been able to celebrate a little more freedom than usual. Sure, there was the celebration of my country's freedom yesterday, but I've also had some additional freedom from work, some freedom from HLS, and even some freedom from my fiancée. Don't get me wrong, I am a huge fan of all three (especially my future bride); however, it is always nice to get these additional freedoms and breaks from what has become the norm. It's simply refreshing and allows you to get back to ...

Friday Roundup: The “One Miiiiiiiiiiillion…” Edition

November 30, 2012 by Ryan Ritter

2012 has been a hell of a year for Notre Dame Football (and at this rate, possibly basketball as well) and it's also been a banner year for HLS. Thanks to you, Loyal Readers, for the first time in our history, HLS has broken the one million pageview threshold in a single year. ...

The Myth of the SEC

November 28, 2012 by Ryan Ritter

The SEC is home to the last six BCS National Titles and they will have a shot to make it seven in January. They are home to some of the best teams that college football has to offer. Their style of play is the standard to which the rest of college football is measured in this era. Make no mistake, the SEC is good; however, like some good things, their actual excellence is oversold, over-hyped, and grown into a myth of epic proportions. ...

Looking Ahead: Georgia, Alabama Battle to Play Notre Dame

November 26, 2012 by Bayou Irish

In case you missed it, Notre Dame defeated the USC Trojans 22-13 to finish a perfect 12-0 and pick up a Number One ranking in the BCS and AP Polls. If you really did miss it, and I have a hard time believing you did, given the game's 10.3 overnight television ratings, you must go back right away and read Tex's fantastic recap. Once you're up to speed, we can begin. Ready? Okay. On January 7, 2013, Notre Dame will in all likelihood play the winner of the SEC Championship. To be played ...

HLS Top 25 – The Reckoning

October 9, 2012 by Ryan Ritter

This is the time of college football season that I love the most. It's the time when we begin the cream of the college football crop rises to the top. No longer are teams able to shield themselves with weak out-of-conference opponents. Now they have to play teams on their own level. Thanks to that, we've had the most movement ever in the HLS Top 25. For the first time ever, we had a team dropped that was previously in the top 15. Three teams dropped more than ten spots. We have three new ...
