Friday Roundup: The “Unlikely Bedfellows” Edition

October 24, 2014 by Ryan Ritter

When TMZ decides to email HLS directly about a story they broke, we should know that something crazy will soon motor down the highway for a head-on collision of weird. This week's edition has freshman WR Justin Brent on a date with 42 year-old porn star, Lisa Ann. Honestly, I cared very little for the "shocking" news. I wasn't even completely convinced of the claims of a date as the information TMZ had to prove the claim just came from a "we're told that" and nothing more. So, it could've ...

CFB Week 7: A Tale of Two…

October 13, 2014 by Ryan Ritter

(Apologies for the delay. Typically I try to have this out Sunday, but a needed ND re-watch and the Cowboys actually doing good football things delayed this.) Fumbles Everett Golson, 1st Quarter Everett Golson, 3rd Quarter Everett's first fumble to start the game, while terrible and costly, could be mostly forgiven. You could certainly argue that Golson should have better pocket presence and not step directly into a death trap. Still, that was not nearly as bad as Golson coughing the ball ...

HLS TV Episode 7: On to Tallahassee

October 12, 2014 by Molly Villari and Ryan Ritter

Molly and I are back for another episode of HLS TV! This week, we discuss the trap game that was Notre Dame vs. North Carolina and if the performance is any cause for concern going forward. We also take quite a bit of time to dive into the huge #2 vs. #5 match-up this weekend as Irish Eyes turn towards Tallahassee and the Florida State Seminoles. Finally, I give a brief update on Savin' Aven, giving some much needed thanks to all the wonderful donors and friends that have helped spread the ...

Friday Roundup: The “Signing Away the Heisman” Edition

October 10, 2014 by Ryan Ritter

Yesterday, all potential Friday Roundup topics promptly took a back seat in my brain once Todd Gurley's suspension hit the newswire. Georgia originally announced the suspension as "indefinite", but Fox Sports' Bruce Feldman and his source believe the suspension will only last two or three games. Regardless of suspension length, Gurley will likely bid farewell to any chance of winning the Heisman thanks to this mess. Regardless of where you might stand on the NCAA rule about a student-athlete ...

Irish Blogger Gathering: Answers Are Imminent

October 9, 2014 by Ryan Ritter

In one of college football's great ironies, Notre Dame fans have shifted from enjoying the Stanford win to anxiously awaiting the results of an academic investigation when North Carolina of all teams is about to head to campus. At this point, it shouldn't be surprising that the "imminent" answers that Brian Kelly expected are still hidden somewhere in FERPA secrecy. While I feel for the Marooned Five, and certainly hope they find themselves out of limbo soon, both myself and the rest of the ...

Opponent Watch: West Coast Appetizer

September 4, 2014 by IrishElvis

Who To Watch USC at Stanford (Sat 3:30pm ET, ABC) Week 2 doesn't have much to offer, and your Saturday primetime is already booked with Notre Dame vs. Michigan, so I'll recommend a matchup of two future ND opponents. Out west on The Farm, see Steve Sarkisian in his first true road test against David Shaw's Cardinal. ...

Opponent Watch: Welcome Back, College Football

August 28, 2014 by IrishElvis

The offseason is behind us. We have passed through the barren wilderness wasteland, and before us stretches the verdant Field Turf plain of lush college football goodness. Each week in this space, I'll keep tabs on 2014 Notre Dame opponents, their strength-of-schedule, and who they're playing. For those of who want to scout future opponents, or who just can't get enough college football, I'll take my best guess as to what you should watch when you're not watching Notre Dame Football. ...

Notre Dame 2014 Opponent Preview: North Carolina

July 21, 2014 by Ryan Ritter

Our next Notre Dame football opponent preview brings us to yet another ACC opponent, North Carolina. You might think of them as a basketball school, but I promise you, this is a football team on the rise and one that might just give the Irish more trouble than you think. Previous Opponent Previews: Rice Michigan Purdue Syracuse Stanford Vitals Offense Those eight returning starters should immediately jump off the page. Those starters include a returning QB, ...
