What Should The Yearly Expectations Be For ND Football?
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 ...
Opponent Watch: West Coast Appetizer
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. ...
Brian Kelly Presser: Michigan, Opportunities, and Silver Linings
Ever the politician, a plaid-suited Brian Kelly sidestepped a question ripe for opposing locker room material. Sure, the end of the Michigan series has opened the door for some very exciting future games for Notre Dame football, but he wasn't about to proclaim it a "good thing" and provide Michigan with additional motivation. Instead, Kelly called future games with Texas and Georgia the "silver lining" of no longer having Michigan on the schedule. Afterward, he looked to the eager press ...
Introducing HLS TV: Recapping Rice and Previewing Michigan
During the offseason, we tried to do a Google+ Hangout Live and it failed rather miserably at first. Still though, we had fun and wanted to figure out a way to incorporate some kind of show back into the HLS lineup this season. The end result of the brainstorming has been dubbed HLS TV. The lovely Molly Moran hosts with yours truly serving as co-pilot. Eventually, this post-game endeavor will air much closer to the conclusion of the game (we hope to eventually record the same day as the game ...

Notre Dame vs Rice: Prediction Time!

Friday Roundup: The “Brian Kelly Goes to the Moon” Edition
It's almost time. The thought raced through Brian Kelly's mind as he gazed into his mirror. Clad in a navy-blue suit and gold tie, he clutched his inspiration loosely in his hand. More notes, scribbles, and arrows littered the page than his five-wide goal line section of the playbook. How does one prepare for Rice with Michigan around the corner? The question plagued him even before fall camp had started. He could only serve so many rice-themed dishes at the training table. It was a ...
Opponent Watch: Welcome Back, College Football
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. ...
