HLS Recap: Hardware Focused

December 7, 2020 by Ryan Ritter

Shane needed to deal with an unforeseen emergency, leaving me solo this episode. The best game of the weekend was a Group of Five game that wasn't originally on the schedule. The Big Ten is probably going back on their championship qualifying rules. There was a Sunday night college football game. Must be 2020. In the midst of all of this, Notre Dame had a weird game against Syracuse that looked oddly familiar. We've arrived at the point in which annoying games are wins by 20+ points and ...

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: Keep on Truckin’

October 12, 2020 by Ryan Ritter

Turns out not playing for two weeks and having a decent chunk of the roster bouncing around isolation and quarantine can lead to sloppy football. Despite that, Notre Dame flat out plowed through Florida State for a comfortable win, even with all the rest. While the Irish kept on trucking, others weren't as lucky. We were close to a blood weak with multiple ranked teams finding themselves on the wrong side of the score sheet. We were also blessed with what had to be the most insane Red River ...

Love and War in Texas: Mike Elko Departs

January 5, 2018 by Ryan Ritter

Growing up in Texas, you pick a side. Declare your allegiance early. More often than not this boiled down to throwing up a hook 'em or a saw 'em off with your hand. I found myself in the later group, more specifically, to the subset that would also happily shout out a "whoop" or "gig 'em". I ended up happily trading these in for "Go Irish", drunken jigs on the bleachers, and push-ups in the student section. Still, part of my heart--that's Texan for college football fandom--remained a part of the ...

Making the Most of Independence: Notre Dame’s Future Schedules

July 7, 2017 by Ryan Ritter

Unless you are one of those folks that keeps tabs on the Fulmer Cup, early July isn't exactly the time in which you expect college football news to break. Yet, here we are in the wake of Notre Dame's announcement that the Arkansas Razorbacks have been added the 2020 and 2025 schedules. Now, I understand that, even in this barren desert of Irish football news, you may find it hard to get excited for games that are three and eight years away. To be fair, I'm right there with you; however, ...

Friday Roundup: The “Shamrockin’ It” Episode

November 11, 2016 by Ryan Ritter

I don't know about y'all, but I had one hell of a week. I must say that I really need a bit more levity in my life and recording this episode with Shane and Eddie was just what the doctor ordered. We talk about those other Tuesday night results--you know, the college football playoff rankings--and take a hard turn into as many of the fun and hilarious stories that we could find in the world of college football. But what to do about a bad Notre Dame football team playing a not very exciting ...

Friday Roundup: The “#SportsMath Will Make You Sick” Episode

September 30, 2016 by Ryan Ritter

For those Loyal Readers that are familiar with my work, y'all know that I have a true love of stats when it comes to my analysis of football. This passion embedded itself in my being because (1) I have a brain that God made for engineering purposes and (2) I grew up with a love for the game of baseball--the stat nerd's dream sport. Football is a rough sport to analyze through the magic of spreadsheets. With short seasons and smaller sample sizes than a sport like baseball, you truly have to ...

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 “Trick or Treat: Here’s a Podcast” Episode

October 30, 2015 by Ryan Ritter

Earlier this week, it was brought to my attention that quite a few of y'all were not aware that the Friday Roundup went podcast a few months ago. Firstly, y'all are all totally busted for not having read the Roundup in ages, but secondly it made me re-think how I've been marketing this thing. Thus, the title of this week's episode which (I hope) makes it incredibly clear that there is yet another podcast for you to consume. While Notre Dame will get its fair share of air time every week, the ...

Friday Roundup: “The Irish Awaken” Edition

November 28, 2014 by Ryan Ritter

A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away... ...okay, so it'll be tomorrow on a football field on the west coast... Episode XII THE IRISH AWAKEN It is a dark time for all Notre Dame fans. The Fighting Irish have lost three games in a row for the second time in the Brian Kelly era. Turnovers, missed field goals, botched holds, and injuries have plagued the Irish. With their backs against the wall, the Irish travel west to face their long-time rivals, SOUTHERN CAL, and to achieve the ...
