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 (Text Edition): Dabo’s the Worst

November 23, 2020 by Ryan Ritter

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: Superweapon Malfunction

October 26, 2020 by Ryan Ritter

Wait...a Notre Dame/Pitt game can be...fun?! What madness is this?! After witnessing a game that WE WILL NEVER MENTION AGAIN, this was quite a nice bounce-back for the Irish. The offense got right and Clark Lea put together another defensive masterpiece. Meanwhile, the Big Ten officially started their season, meaning Shane and I give some initial thoughts to the madness that included an improbable Indiana upset and a Rutgers win. Also featured this week: another ref bailout for Auburn, ...

Friday Roundup: The “Top QB 2014” Edition

October 31, 2014 by Ryan Ritter

On November 1, 1913 Notre Dame established the forward pass as a legitimate offense in college football. Its purpose was to make the quarterback the most feared player on the field and propel the team to greatness. They succeeded. Today, the Navy calls him the guy that embarrasses them every year*. The Fighting Irish call him.... TOP QB *2007, 2009, and 2010 didn't exist...why the hell is everybody acting like they did? --------------------------- Tommy Rees packs up his locker for the ...
