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. ...

Notre Dame students put hatred of Southern Cal to good use by accepting donations for swings at this car in 2011.

Opponent Watch: Crosstown Rival Edition

November 15, 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 “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 ...

Roundup in your (HLS Audio Week 8) Recap

October 27, 2016 by Ryan Ritter

This week, I feel that I have channeled my inner Clark Griswold. If something could go wrong, it has. This podcast is no exception. Not only have Shane and I seen or normal recording schedule go haywire, but I was in rare form in terms of podcasting screwups. Thankfully, this medium allows for edits to make the product sound much less clusterfucky; however, I felt like every loyal listener to the show deserved some insight into just how off the rails I went during recording in the form of a ...

CFB Week 6: A Tale of Two…

October 5, 2014 by Ryan Ritter

Touchdowns Golson to Brown Golson to Koyack It only took two TDs for Notre Dame to top Stanford. Brown's TD allowed us all to breathe going into the half and Koyack's catch, on a 4th and 11 no less, sent us into jubilation. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rDUvS88s_cY Turnovers Golson's Fumble Golson's INT Golson struggled once again in protecting that ball. The fumble was once again a result of him holding the ball waaaaaay too far out from his body. The INT was a result of Golson ...

Notre Dame’s Strength of Schedule Visualized

August 6, 2014 by Ryan Ritter

Strength of schedule is by far one of our favorite topics to discuss here at HLS. With conference's becoming more insular in their scheduling, the need to trumpet the gauntlet of a schedule that Notre Dame plays in becomes incredibly important to break the conference narrative. Enter Brian Freamau, member of the advanced statistics site, Football Outsiders, who came up with the  efficiency rating, FEI, that is an essential competent of the F/+ rating, which is another favorite of ours to use ...

Friday Roundup: The “Empty Gestures” Edition

August 16, 2013 by Ryan Ritter

The SEC, Big Ten, and PAC 12, have all made their stand for their student athletes. They will no longer be a part of EA Sports NCAA Football video game series. Yes, what a fantastic gesture by these conferences. It's a move that draws a clear line in the sand that amateurism and student athletes matter. Except for the minor detail that EA Sports has separate agreements with the schools and they don't need conference approval anyways. Even if these dominoes are falling due to the O'Bannon ...

The Eddie Vanderdoes Saga Goes Full WWE

June 10, 2013 by Ryan Ritter

I've been trying to figure out the right words to describe how I feel about the national coverage of the Eddie Vanderdoes situation. No, not those words -- those were to destroy a particularly lazy effort. What I am referring to is this need to find moral outrage in the situation. Whether it is blaming ND, the NCAA, the NLI, Eddie Vanderdoes, or anything else, there is a need to point the finger at someone. Disagree with where the finger lands and additional outrage piles on top of the ...

Friday Roundup: The “Attrition” Edition

March 29, 2013 by Ryan Ritter

Well, it's been a bit of a rough ride for the 2012 recruiting class. Last year, Tee Shepard was only on the roster for a few hours. Aaron Lynch departed after the 2011 campaign. Gunner Kiel decided to head elsewhere. And this week, Davonte Neal and Justin Ferguson decided to depart as well. Attrition has definitely set in. These days, it's an annual expectation. Thankfully, the Notre Dame Football program is healthy enough to handle it. ...
