A Notre Dame Football Blog
With a class of new students moving onto campus, I’m seeing a lot of different ‘Welcome’ signs all over the place. Each hall seems to have its own personalized, color-coordinated placards staking a claim to its new inmates residents. But the sign I see most is “Welcome Home!” I had a whole series of suggestions for appropriate (and more realistic) welcoming signs. But, as usual, my wisdom was neither sought nor appreciated by the current administration. When they retire you, they take away ...
@NDFootball attempts to explain the Shamrock Series Uniform
Typically, I'm a fan of the Shamrock Series uniforms. While we've never hit the apex of Adidas' last hurrah in Jerry World with the all-white look, I've been a fan of just about every single one. Most of them have ended up being Christmas presents from my parents as well. It's fun. I enjoy mixing it up. And, admittedly, I enjoy watching heads explode at the mere thought of having a bit of uniform fun. Because, you know, doing a one-off with the uniforms is some kind of unholy abomination. As ...
In the past few weeks, there has been a great deal of speculation that the Irish would be announcing an upcoming match up with the University of Wisconsin. The speculation officially ended on Monday with the announcement that the Irish will play Wisconsin at Lambeau Field on October 3, 2020 and at Soldier Field on September 25th, 2021. Both games will be part of the Shamrock Series. I must say, I'm not a fan of the Shamrock Series, but that is a whole different article. In this case, I'm okay ...
2016 Shamrock Series Uniform
This evening the Notre Dame football program revealed the Shamrock Series uniform, designed by Under Armour, that will be worn at this year's game in San Antonio, Texas. While last year's all green Shamrock Series uniform gave a nod to Fenway's "Green Monster," this year's olive green and gold uniform will pay tribute to military tradition and Notre Dame's opponent, Army. And, of course, another helmet gets added to the collection ... This year's Shamrock Series helmet ...

Debate This is a recurring series on Her Loyal Sons in which two writers take opposing sides on a hot topic. Yesterday, you learned why playing football in a stadium designed for baseball is "dumb." Today, you learn why it's awesome. Many moons ago (these moons) (not that moons) (bless his heart), I wrote about the subway and the importance to the University of Notre Dame of its formative footballing years and how they helped build a national brand out of the little school on the shores of ...

Debate This is a recurring series on HerLoyalSons in which two writers take opposing sides on a hot topic. Today and tomorrow, we will debate whether or not Notre Dame should continue its annual neutral-site Shamrock Series game. On Thursday, tricerapops argued that the Shamrock Series may become "a drag." Today, Chris argues for the continuation of the series, which is on a one-year hiatus. Let’s just get this out there: I love the Shamrock Series. I was as president of the ND Club of El ...

Debate This is a recurring series on HerLoyalSons in which two writers take opposing sides on a hot topic. Today and tomorrow, we will debate whether or not Notre Dame should continue its annual neutral-site Shamrock Series game. Today, tricerapops argues that the Shamrock Series may become "a drag." Tomorrow, Chris argues for the continuation of the series, which is on hiatus in 2017. There's not a lot of downside to the Shamrock Series, in my opinion. If I were to nitpick/speculate a ...
Molly Moran and I are back with another episode of HLS TV! In this episode, we discuss Notre Dame surviving against Purdue in a crazy week of college football. Molly gives us an insight into what the atmosphere was like in the game and if the mood match ours as we were losing our minds on Twitter. And we cover the good, the bad, the frustrating, and wonder just how upset we should be about the Irish's performance in this year's Shamrock Series. You can check out this week's episode ...
Good morning, Irish fans! It's that time of the week once again for us to try to gaze into the future and predict Notre Dame and Purdue. To enter this week, head on over to the entry form. But first, let's see how you did last week. Let's start with the quotes because I'm giving out some bonus points this week: Is Devin Gardner like an 8th year senior? - Philly Kelly I wanted to frame the quote as soon as I saw it last week. Point! When I think of Michigan, I think of Morrie in ...
