HLS Recap: The QB Controversy That Never Was

November 16, 2020 by Ryan Ritter

The big stories this week were the things that were never there in the first place: 15 games postponed or cancelled, SEC defense, Will Muschamp's job, wins for Penn State, and Michigan's title hopes. This extended to Notre Dame's matchup with Boston College, a matchup to give Phil Jurkovec the chance to prove that he was the true winner of Notre Dame's QB competition last year. Problem was, BC had as much of a chance of repeating a 1993 upset, as Phil did being ND QB1. But, much like ESPN ...

HLS Recap: Exorcising Demons

September 21, 2020 by Ryan Ritter

That. Felt. GOOD. Sure, not a soul on the active Notre Dame roster was around when South Florida kicked 2011 off into hell, but Brian Kelly, Tommy Rees, and all of us sure were. 52-0 heals a lot of wounds. We reminisce about the Irish blowout and also discuss the Big Ten finding new "medical data", Navy finding their mojo, FSU finding COVID, Miami finding their swagger, and Phil Jurkovec finding his game. Oh, and the ACC Sim came for blood, y'all. It was not messing around this ...

Friday Roundup: The Trolling Michigan via Uber Edition

September 6, 2019 by Ryan Ritter

One of the things that I've enjoyed the most in the past couple of years here at HLS has been our focus on our crazy little community. Case in point: @frsorinramblers whom you will find on Twitter, our Discord, and our Twitch Channel. During our Hot Dog Bye Week podcast, this Loyal Reader revealed that he would spend his bye week Ubering around Ann Arbor during Army/Michigan weekend. Here's his playlist: For those keeping score at home, that's Army's Fight Song, The Irish Tenors, "Here ...

HLS Podcast: Week 1 Recap

September 3, 2019 by Ryan Ritter

Week one games are often sloppy and Notre Dame, unfortunately, was not an exception. While the Irish came away with a 35-17 victory at Louisville, sloppy play, especially from the offense and Ian Book, gave many a ND fan some Monday night heartburn. As we will attempt to do after all night games this season, Shane and I hit record shortly after the final whistle. Come for the level-headed, we got to sleep on it recap of the national scene in week 1. Stay for the knee-jerk reactions about ...

Notre Dame Roster Top 25 Countdown 2019

August 12, 2019 by Ryan Ritter

It's an annual tradition that puts my name in between Pete Sampson and Tim O'Malley: Inside the Irish's countdown of the top 25 players on the Irish Roster. HLS was once again asked to be a part of thirteen Notre Dame reporting outlets to vote and I was happy to once again represent our little corner of the internet. Now that Douglas Farmer has unveiled the consensus top 25, much like last year, I was ready to defend my picks and hot ranking takes...except I don't think I really need ...

Poor Burt. He passed up the role of Solo, and then opened up against Harrison. It's ok. He was still an all-time great.

Ian Book Is Smokey and the Bandit

December 12, 2018 by Matt Q. (DMQ)

I completely missed the Heisman Trophy ceremony this past weekend. I knew it was coming, and entirely forgot to tune in. Maybe that's why the committee decided to rig the votes and award the trophy to Kyler Murray rather than Tua Tagovailoa - so that perhaps a few of us will remember there was controversy this year and bother to tune in in 2019. Anyway, I forgot to tune in because 1) I was actually attending a social gathering, and 2) nobody from Notre Dame was even remotely involved. And if ...

Good Fridays w/Padre: The Horror

October 26, 2018 by Father Sorin

Notre Dame is the only university in America that has had two very popular and flattering major motion pictures made about it: “Kunte Rockne, All American” and “Rudy.” As a general rule, you don’t want a movie film made about your college, unless you hated it and want to join other people in laughing at it. Interestingly enough, “Rudy” had its world premier in South Bend exactly 25 years ago this month. That season, the Fighting Irish went into the last game of the year, at home, undefeated ...

There and Back Again: A Citrus Bowl Tale

January 2, 2018 by Ryan Ritter

In Camping World Stadium there lived many a nightmare for Notre Dame fans. Not a nasty, windy, wet monsoon game, filled with questionable play-calling decisions and an all-to-familiar lack of execution, nor a game in Hard Rock Stadium where the mere presence of the Irish brings a blowout; it was the Citrus Bowl, and that means things could be different. Still, a game with rainy conditions, in Florida, on New Year's Day, facing an opponent with a solid defense, especially in the secondary ...

HLS Review: The 2016 ND Insider Football Preview

July 23, 2016 by andrewwinn

The South Bend Tribune's 96-page preview of Notre Dame's football team is an invaluable resource for the Irish fan looking to get informed before the 2016 football season kicks off Sept. 4. Mike Vorel wrote the magazine's cover story, "Avoiding A Split Decision," on the quarterback competition between redshirt sophomore DeShone Kizer and redshirt senior Malik Zaire. Vorel interviewed former Texas head coach Mack Brown, former Notre Dame quarterbacks Joe Theismann and Brady Quinn and ESPN's ...

Freshman Reveal Jersey Numbers

June 20, 2016 by andrewwinn

With Notre Dame's summer classes commencing last Monday, 18 freshman have now officially joined the Irish football team. All have already picked their numbers, with some announcing them through social media. Here's the rundown: #12 QB IAN BOOK: Book sported #11 in high school, which is currently sported by redshirt sophomore running back Justin Brent. Book said last Tuesday that he'll be wearing #12, which was most recently worn by fellow quarterback Brandon Wimbush. Wimbush, a sophomore, ...
