HLS Recap (Text Edition): Soled Out

December 14, 2020 by Ryan Ritter

Loyal Listeners, you are (hopefully) wondering why your podcast feed is empty this morning. Because 2020 is still 2020'ing, Shane is still handling his situation that kept him out last week. I considered another solo episode, but I honestly didn't think I had a full episode worth of worthwhile content. Don't get me wrong, as you'll see below, there is a lot worth talking about, including some really hilarious peak college football. Without Shane though, if I'm going to riff by myself, the ...

You know, we give Michigan a lot of hell via internet print, and rightly so. However, there are days in which things happen that allow us to sit back and laugh at Michigan without really having to do anything. Today is one of those days. Oh, and we get to take a shot at Urban Meyer and Texas too! So this happened last night on Jeopardy!: http://youtu.be/mZDHh2z_My4 Let's break down this 1:20 of glory that was the "College Football Coaches" category. Let's take the category for $200, ...

Friday Roundup: The “Gentlemen, Start Your Sources!” Edition

December 13, 2013 by Ryan Ritter

College football's coaching carousel is like Black Friday shopping. Every year, it gets more absurd and manages to start even earlier than the year prior. This year, before half of the bowl games were even finalized, people started floating around Nick Saban to Texas rumors. Actually, to be fair, this talk started at the beginning of the season because that's a good time to make those choices. I guess if you're going to try to stir the pot, you might as well go with the craziest rumor ...

Friday Roundup: The “THIS IS…Sparta?” Edition

September 20, 2013 by Ryan Ritter

Michigan State will enter Notre Dame as the #1 defense in the nation. Sure, their schedule has been an absolute cakewalk thus far (Western Michigan, South Florida, and Youngstown State), but, despite that, holding opponents to only 177 yards/game is impressive no matter who you are playing. But then you look at the other side of the coin and you realize that Sparty's offense is objectively one of the worst things to ever grace a football field. Ignoring Youngstown State (which you should ...
