Friday Roundup: The “No More Talking to Myself” Episode

September 16, 2016 by Ryan Ritter

When I came back from my podcast break, I said that the main goal of the show is simple: having fun and creating an entertaining show. When I go back and listen to what I've done so far and, quite frankly, while recording, I feel like the times I'm missing that simple goal is when I'm just talking to...well, no one. So with that in mind, I decided that there was a need for a co-host on the show. Shane, aka SuperManTDJesus, aka the one that brings you awesome videos here on HLS, had mentioned ...

Trust Brian Kelly, He’s Good at Quarterbacking

August 1, 2016 by Bayou Irish

News developed at the end of last week that Notre Dame football head coach Brian Kelly may be considering a two-quarterback system for 2016. Able to choose from Malik Zaire or DeShone Kizer (or Brandon Wimbush), can you blame him? Plenty of you do. In this post, I try to convince you to trust in Brian Kelly. Trusting Brian Kelly is, for many of you, likely more difficult to do than trusting Hillary Clinton. But since I have it on good authority from my friends inside Russia's Foreign ...

Experts: Brian Kelly is Among Ten Best College Coaches

June 22, 2016 by andrewwinn

While there will always be a segment of Notre Dame fans unhappy with Coach Brian Kelly's performance, it's getting harder to argue against his inclusion in the list of top, active FBS coaches. Kelly was ranked in the top 10 of all 128 FBS coaches in two separate publications Tuesday. Athlon Sports, which boasts an online readership in excess of 1 million readers annually, chose Kelly as the 10th best coach. The Sporting News, which has covered college football since before the second World ...

Urban Meyer Better Than Brian Kelly In Most Ways

December 31, 2015 by andrewwinn

This entry is part of Her Loyal Sons' continuing Fiesta Bowl preview series: Defensive preview, Ezekiel Elliott accident, Costume Gameday, offensive preview, Injured Irish returning, comprehensive bowl overview. Today, we examine the coaches. By almost all metrics, Ohio State's Urban Meyer has had a more successful career recently than Notre Dame's Brian Kelly. Let's compare: HEAD-TO-HEAD (ON THE FIELD) Kelly and Meyer have never faced each other. The pair were on a collision course ...

Good Fridays w/Padre: Era’s End

January 9, 2015 by Father Sorin

So the Freemasons have won. Or the Illuminati, Rosicrucians, Elders of the Priory of Sion – let’s just call them the E-lders of the S-ion P-riory freemasoNs. They and their Rodent Overlord enjoy a complete victory; they have taken over college football and forced the creation of the playoff system that they have long wanted, and will long broadcast, for lots of money. I mourn the passing of an era. Gone are the days when the leading teams from regional affiliations of colleges would compete ...

Friday Roundup: The “Brian Kelly Hates the Goal Line” Edition

August 1, 2014 by Ryan Ritter

So last week, I spent a lot of time discussing how the change were good and the new FieldTurf is just one example of progress. This week, I realize that I have failed you. Just watch the final time lapse of the FieldTurf installation. Let's see if you notice it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d40pJ_tL-2I Did you see it? You probably missed it. The distraction of plastic cancer-causing grass, kickoff shamrock logos, and midfield monograms likely distracted you from the truth. Let's try ...

Friday Roundup: The “What is Michigan?” Edition

March 28, 2014 by Ryan Ritter

You know, we give Michigan a lot of hell via internet print, and rightly so. However, there are days in which things happen that allow us to sit back and laugh at Michigan without really having to do anything. Today is one of those days. Oh, and we get to take a shot at Urban Meyer and Texas too! So this happened last night on Jeopardy!: http://youtu.be/mZDHh2z_My4 Let's break down this 1:20 of glory that was the "College Football Coaches" category. Let's take the category for $200, ...

Friday Roundup: The “What’s in a Logo?” Edition

December 20, 2013 by Ryan Ritter

So what can make Notre Dame football fans freak out more than rumors of field turf or a jumbotron? A tweet like this: https://twitter.com/UniWatch/statuses/412716193955340289 CLICK CLACK! START PANICKING! I'm not even sure what causes such hair pulling or, quite frankly, why there is even a preference among fans as to whether Adidas, Nike, or Under Armor is the one to put their logo on Notre Dame's uniform. After all, Notre Dame has been pretty consistent with their uniform practices ...

Friday Roundup: The “Celebrating Freedom” Edition

July 5, 2013 by Ryan Ritter

This week, I have been able to celebrate a little more freedom than usual. Sure, there was the celebration of my country's freedom yesterday, but I've also had some additional freedom from work, some freedom from HLS, and even some freedom from my fiancée. Don't get me wrong, I am a huge fan of all three (especially my future bride); however, it is always nice to get these additional freedoms and breaks from what has become the norm. It's simply refreshing and allows you to get back to ...
