The Final Fiesta: Notre Dame vs Oklahoma State NCAA ’14 Sim

December 31, 2021 by Ryan Ritter

The HLS Sim was born from my desire to do something different. In the vast sea of Notre Dame podcasts, I wanted to do more than stand out. I wanted to do something fun but also avoid our show being seen as a parroting of more popular Irish podcasts. So I sent a message with a wild idea to Shane: let's go on Twitch and stream a CPU vs CPU matchup of the week's Notre Dame game using a decade-plus old video game as our "preview". To my knowledge, no one was doing this (at best, they were playing ...

Freeman Fiesta

December 6, 2021 by Ryan Ritter

College football's playoff and NY6 Selection Sunday came and went mostly as expected. Notre Dame has landed in the Fiesta Bowl and will face Oklahoma State. Shane and I do discuss our initial thoughts on this game, which has never happened before; however, the beginning of the podcast focuses on the wonder that is Marcus Freeman. Shane gives his thoughts on the hire for the first time on the digital airwaves. We are both very excited for the beginning of a new era for Notre Dame, even ...

HLS Proudly Presents: The 13th Data Point

December 3, 2021 by Ryan Ritter

Loyal Readers, today kicks off an all-important and totally-not-absolutely-overrated weekend of football: conference championships. It's the all important 13th data point. National pundits have blasted Notre Dame for failing to have one. With that in mind, I thought it was important that we highlight, not just this weekend's data point, but the other important data point that got these teams to this all important moment. After all, these teams have the chance to lose another game that Notre ...

HLS Recap (Text Edition): Dabo’s the Worst

November 23, 2020 by Ryan Ritter

Initially, Shane and I planned to do our usual recap show, but, like the rest of 2020, shit happens. It made more sense to cancel a few hours before the our usual Sunday recording and for me to dust of my writing skills instead. So strap yourselves in for an extremely long post to get all the thoughts in my head that would've been shared on the podcast, out and available for internet consumption. ...

HLS Recap: Exorcising Demons

September 21, 2020 by Ryan Ritter

That. Felt. GOOD. Sure, not a soul on the active Notre Dame roster was around when South Florida kicked 2011 off into hell, but Brian Kelly, Tommy Rees, and all of us sure were. 52-0 heals a lot of wounds. We reminisce about the Irish blowout and also discuss the Big Ten finding new "medical data", Navy finding their mojo, FSU finding COVID, Miami finding their swagger, and Phil Jurkovec finding his game. Oh, and the ACC Sim came for blood, y'all. It was not messing around this ...

What Should The Yearly Expectations Be For ND Football?

April 18, 2016 by Jimmy Grant

What is good enough for Notre Dame? I was a child of the Lou Holtz years, when Notre Dame was in the hunt for a national title almost every season. That has not been the case at any point since Holtz left. In this article, I'm going to look at some of the stated "hurdles" and determine if they're relevant. Then, I'm going to answer: What is a reasonable expectation for Notre Dame football on an annual basis? Schedule “We won nine games two years out of the five. I think the difficulty is ...

Friday Roundup: The “Just Win, Baby” Edition

November 2, 2012 by Ryan Ritter

Much of the talk this past week in college football has centered around one central topic. If Alabama, Kansas State, Oregon, and, yes, Notre Dame remain undefeated, who goes to Miami to compete for the national title? Schedules have been compared. Style points tallied. Tea leaves read. Throughout all of the these activities though, one thing must not be forgotten: win. Every. Damn. Game. ...

Friday Roundup: The “Gauging Hurricanes” Edition

October 5, 2012 by Ryan Ritter

You know what I haven't done in a Roundup yet? An actual opponent preview. It's time I change that -- especially since this week I've heard far too much about how the Miami offense could potentially give the Irish troubles. All of this analysis glosses over the fact that Miami isn't that great and I'm here to fix that. ...
