A Notre Dame Football Blog
Here at HLS, we take pride in delivering great Notre Dame content at no charge to you, the Loyal Reader. This month though, we are taking it up a notch. Our partners and friends have given us some swag that we couldn't just keep for ourselves. So this month, we are having a little contest to give it all away. ...
For today's Roundup, it's time to dig back into my manager days for another story. This one happened while I was on a locker room shift.

A special shout out to the guy that snuck a video camera into the E3 gaming convention and recorded himself going through the NCAA Football 2013 selection screens to get all of the team ratings and player ratings for the next version of the college football gaming dynasty.
