Good Fridays w/Padre: Lost in Translation
The Agricultural College of the State of Michigan is coming to town for a football game. Well, that was their first name; but they soon changed it to State Agricultural College. Realizing that this was dangerously vague – how would the students know which state’s agricultural college they were attending – the name was tightened up to Michigan Agricultural College. But there’s so much more to Michigan than growing cherries and Christmas trees; so the name was elaborated to Michigan State College ...
Friday Roundup: The “No More Talking to Myself” Episode
When I came back from my podcast break, I said that the main goal of the show is simple: having fun and creating an entertaining show. When I go back and listen to what I've done so far and, quite frankly, while recording, I feel like the times I'm missing that simple goal is when I'm just talking to...well, no one. So with that in mind, I decided that there was a need for a co-host on the show. Shane, aka SuperManTDJesus, aka the one that brings you awesome videos here on HLS, had mentioned ...

Good Fridays w/Padre: Bring It! (or not)
An errant flyer was slipped under my door recently. It was a series of lists from the Office of Housing, instructing incoming freshmen in “What to Bring to Campus.” I found this amusing, because the Office of Housing used to be Brother Paul the Hermit; and “What to Bring to Campus” was “Whatever You Can Fit into Four Saddle Bags or One Steamer Trunk.” So I found these lists…quaint: Personal Supplies - Shower Caddy: This better not mean a fellow who carries your soap into the scrub room ...
ND-Michigan to Resume in 2018 & 2019
Notre Dame and Michigan announced today that their football series will resume in 2018 after what would be a four-year hiatus. The games will be played Sept. 1, 2018 at Notre Dame and Oct. 26, 2019 in Ann Arbor, according to a release from both universities. Here is our earlier report: Ryan Krasnoo, a Michigan grad who covers hoops for SINow.com, reported early this morning that Michigan was going to pay a $2 million fee to Arkansas instead of playing the Razorbacks on Sept. 1, 2018. ...

Let’s Renew Our Rivalry With Michigan
Anyone with any sense of college football history knows the importance of the Michigan/Notre Dame rivalry. We don’t have to rehash fight songs, their standing in winning percentage, the legend of Michigan students teaching football to Notre Dame to understand the magnitude of this series. I’ll be honest: When it ended in 2014, I was so elated with Notre Dame’s 31-0 pasting of the Wolverines that I didn’t give it much thought. Now as time passed and Michigan has rebounded under Jim ...
Good Fridays w/Padre: Hell-ucinations
Students at Indiana University saw a Dominican priest and thought he was a Ku Klux Klansman. This is not a joke. Oh, how I wish this really were a joke. They saw his Rosary and thought it was a whip. Since most students at Indiana University didn’t attend Catholic grade school or high school, how would they ever know that a Rosary can be used very effectively as a whip? A priest wearing the white habit of his order – an order that’s been around for roughly 800 years, represented in art, ...
