Good Fridays w/Padre: Symbols & Signs

April 19, 2013 by Father Sorin

This weekend marks the start of the 2013 march to victory for the football team. Fitting, then, that the team is guaranteed a victory in any event because they play with themselves [Editor’s note: Padre doesn’t always appreciate how certain phrases have changed over the years.] [Padre’s note: Get your mind out of the gutter, so Mark May’s can float by.] What used to be the old-timers’ game, the intrasquad scrimmage, or simply ‘the spring game’, has been officially exulted to The University of ...

Tuitt ND’s Newest Road Runner

September 5, 2012 by Twibby

Despite the departure of Aaron Lynch and some depth issues, Notre Dame’s defensive line was expected to be one of the team’s strongest position groups in 2012. While the Irish will not face personnel and option plays similar to Navy’s the rest of the season, it is hard not to be very pleased with the performance of Kapron Lewis-Moore, Louis Nix, Kona Schwenke, Stephon Tuitt and the rest of the D-line after shutting down the Midshipmen in Dublin. Outside of Tuitt’s touchdown (we’ll get to that ...

You Don’t Score Fifty Without Doing Something Right

September 3, 2012 by Bayou Irish

As you know by now, your 2012 Fighting Irish took to the field on Saturday in Dublin, Ireland, and kicked off the season against the Midshipmen of the United States Naval Academy. And down here on da bayou, we had quite a week, weather-wise, so by the time Saturday rolled around, I was definitely ready for some football, air conditioning and cold, cold beer. Truth be told, we got power back on Friday at the Bayou Ranch, but it WAS remarkably hot walking from my car to the pub for the game watch. ...

Good Fridays w/Padre: RealIrish

August 31, 2012 by Father Sorin

We’re on the cusp of a new season! Yet, because we’re playing the first game in another land, I fear some of our fans don’t appreciate the moment because they don’t quite understand what’s being said. I am going to do my best to take a little time now and fill folks in on some basic Irish slang I’ve learned. This will be of service to our fans who have come across the ocean for the game, our fans who will be staying at home for the event, and perhaps even our fine young men and women who are ...

Irish Blogger Gathering: Week 1

August 30, 2012 by Twibby

Throughout the 2012 season, Her Loyal Sons and the Subway Domer, Keith Arnold's Inside the Irish, and UND's Strong and True blog will be participating in the rebirth of the Irish Blogger Gathering. The Subway Domer explained the details on his site last week: ...

HLS Staff: 2012 Notre Dame Season Predictions

August 30, 2012 by Twibby

Instead of sitting around and sulking while wishing we were vacationing in Dublin, the HLS team got together to predict the 2012 Irish regular season record. Biscuit, NDtex, Bayou Irish, Grantland-X and myself all agree that ND will beat Navy this weekend, but from there we all see things shaking out a little bit differently. ...

ND Opponent Update: Fall Camp

August 15, 2012 by Twibby

As we close in on the beginning of the 2012 season, I decided to take the Twibby Bus around the country to check up on each of the Irish opponents. The grueling journey ended with the discovery of plenty adverse effects from NCAA sanctions, a trio of unfit sailors, a couple of quarterback question marks, and a lot of injured offensive linemen. Updates are listed in the order of the ND schedule. Like Everett Golson trying to get used to the playbook, I am still trying to get figure out HLS 3.0 ...
