If you've watched any amount of college football this season, you've seen them. AT&T's "OK Boy Band" lip syncing a hook to a fake song that you probably don't want to admit becoming an ear-worm. It turns out the fake band has a name, 300 Likes, which I discovered because their fake song, "Summertime Lover" released as a full-blown song last Friday. I've been wanting to write about the most hated/loved commercial of this football season for some time now. However, I don't want to talk ...

HLS Podcast: The “Catching Up” Episode
After having many an adventure in real estate, Shane and I finally get back in front of our microphones to talk college football. It's been far too long since we last talked and there has been loads of college football news that's happened since our last episode. It would be impossible to cover everything, so we focused on some more recent items of note: Bob Elliott's passing, Bob Stoops' sudden retirement, and Malik Zaire's transfer. We also discuss a topic that I've been chomping at the bit ...
Debate THIS! Close the Graduate Transfer Loophole
Welcome to Debate THIS! In this episode of the long-standing HLS series, we will take a look at the graduate transfer rule. Stay tuned to HLS for the other side of this argument. I am going on record to say that I cannot stand the graduate transfer rule. Let me try to understand this and put myself in the shoes of a student-athlete. I graduated early (good job!), but I don’t play at School X. In that case, I’m going to go shopping for a new school. If School Y has a graduate program that ...

Texas Loss Marks Beginning of Kelly’s End At ND
For every coach in the post-Lou Holtz era of Notre Dame football, the ending of a coach’s tenure came well before the final game. As a fan you can almost sense it, that point when you finally realize the program is not going to be truly great with that coach at the helm. For Bob Davie, it came in the 2001 Fiesta Bowl when the Irish got humiliated and manhandled by Oregon State 41-9. In the Tyrone Willingham era it was year two. With a road trip to Syracuse and a minor bowl bid on the line, ...

Communication: Despite the Bright Lights, Little is Clear from Kelly
You just knew that this second meeting between the University of Notre Dame and the University of Texas would be one for the ages. As Notre Dame fans, we expect such moments to go our way. As it is, at the end of two overtimes, the Irish fell just short and their season's trajectory is less than apparent. From the quarterback position, to the defense, to the meaning of "targeting," nothing is clear about what comes next. Head football coach Brian Kelly, now in his seventh season, stuck to his ...
