Welcome Back to the Top Ten: Notre Dame vs North Carolina Recap

November 1, 2021 by Ryan Ritter

Notre Dame defense certainly missed Kyle Hamilton in their tilt against North Carolina. The offense, on the other hand, missed nothing. Even with the knowledge that the Tar Heel defense is, well, garbage, Shane and I came away incredibly impressed with what the Irish did on the offensive side of the ball. We also fangirled over Kyren Williams' 91-yard touchdown run that looked like it came straight out of a video game. Even though the defense struggled, we don't have too much concern, ...

NCAA ’14 Sim: Notre Dame vs North Carolina

October 29, 2021 by Ryan Ritter

The sim continues to surprise. Somehow this game managed to be everything all at once--a comforting nightmare. If your feelings about Notre Dame games hinge on the sim, I can only say that your feelings will be completely up to individual interpretation. I'm not sure I can explain it in any other way without giving too much away. Oh, and there's a very important discussion about people and chairs thanks to the Inside the Garage podcast. Very important. Podcast Twitch VoD ...

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 ...

HLS Recap: Kicking Around Playoff Contenders and Pretenders

November 30, 2020 by Ryan Ritter

In a week where Vanderbilt made history (and then fired their coach), we still have some degree around just who can actually make a playoff run. While some teams were happy to play themselves out, situations in the Big Ten and Pac-12 have made things a little more cloudy and confusing than usual. So Shane and I decided to play a little game of Contenders and Pretenders around the nation in the wake of this week to see who might just have a legitimate shot and who is just hanging around ...

HLS Sim: Notre Dame (8-1, 8-0) @ North Carolina (7-2, 6-2)

November 20, 2020 by Ryan Ritter

Friendly reminder: The HLS Sim exists in an alternate, COVID-free reality in which Notre Dame is somehow still playing football in the ACC. The results, injuries, and everything in between exist solely within this parallel universe. Since next sim week would fall on a Thursday and ND has a bye this week, Shane and I decided to fire off the sim a week early. Along with that, I ran sims for the rest of the ACC to catch up properly as well. Quite frankly, that's probably the only thing that ...

HLS Recap: When the Sim Became Reality

October 19, 2020 by Ryan Ritter

We should've known that the Sim resembling something of a normal result via reasonable means would through the Notre Dame universe upside down. We can't take credit for what happened around the nation. After all, top 10 teams losing in 2020 seems rather normal at this point. We do, however, apologize for making your Saturday a bit more stressful than needed. That being said, we do not apologize for being happy about a win and embracing the Irish's new #3 ranking. Winning is the damn point ...

My Early Prediction For Next Year

January 9, 2017 by Jimmy Grant

I was happy to turn the page on the new year if nothing else than to turn the calendar on one of the worst years of Notre Dame football that I can remember. Starting on New Year’s Day of 2016 and throughout the season it was seemingly one bad moment after another. Now with the national title playing out tonight, our long Notre Dame nightmare can end. Or can it? Since the end of this season, there have numerous coaching changes. When the Irish tee it up on opening day next year, the ...

I Never Liked The VanGorder Hire

September 26, 2016 by Jimmy Grant

I never liked the Brian VanGorder hire. VanGorder was hired in 2014, following the departure of Bob Diaco to become Connecticut's head coach. The criticism of Diaco was his "bend but don't break" approach made his defenses appear somewhat vanilla or "boring." So what? They were fundamentally sound, rarely beat themselves and were always in the top half of the nation in total defense. Much enthusiasm ensued when the Irish brought VanGorder and his NFL pedigree to South Bend. Many media ...

Irish Laxers Set For Sunday Re-Match with UNC

May 21, 2016 by Jimmy Grant

The #5 Notre Dame men's lacrosse team will play #12 North Carolina in the NCAA quarterfinals Sunday after a dominating performance last weekend. The Irish beat the #13 Air Force Falcons, 15-7, after surging to a five-goal halftime lead. The men's team had squandered fourth-quarter leads against North Carolina and Duke before the tournament began. But that was not a concern last Saturday, as the Irish cruised to easy victory. The Irish were paced by sophomore Mikey Wynne, who contributed ...
