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: 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 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. ...

September 20, 2018 by IrishElvis

Each week in this space, we examine two things: Notre Dame's strength of schedule (from USA Today's Sagarin rankings), and who Irish opponents are facing. For those of who want to scout future opponents, I'll give you my recommendation for who to watch when you're not watching Notre Dame Football. ...

Friday Roundup: The “Notre Dame-Free” Episode

December 2, 2016 by Ryan Ritter

Yes, a Notre Dame-free episode might sound a little crazy to publish in this space, but let's be honest with each other. We need a break from talking about terrible ND Football things and you need a break from hearing it. Shane and I took this task so seriously that we did our damnedest to not even utter the words "Notre Dame" all episode. ...

Friday Roundup: The “Ultimate Duke Preview” Epsiode

September 23, 2016 by Ryan Ritter

Well, Shane and I decided to bring you you the most incredible, hard-hitting, most in-depth preview for Duke possible. If you thought that last sentence was truthful, you are going to be very disappointed. ...

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 ...

Good Fridays w/Padre: Era’s End

January 9, 2015 by Father Sorin

So the Freemasons have won. Or the Illuminati, Rosicrucians, Elders of the Priory of Sion – let’s just call them the E-lders of the S-ion P-riory freemasoNs. They and their Rodent Overlord enjoy a complete victory; they have taken over college football and forced the creation of the playoff system that they have long wanted, and will long broadcast, for lots of money. I mourn the passing of an era. Gone are the days when the leading teams from regional affiliations of colleges would compete ...
