If Only We Had More Time: Notre Dame vs Southern Cal Recap

October 25, 2021 by Ryan Ritter

It's always a great day when Notre Dame beats Southern Cal. There's an entire graduating class that doesn't know what it's like to beat the Irish and, having been on the other side of that, I shed no tears. Overall the game was great, yet still contained a mix of things that have frustrated the hell out of us all season long. Shane and I air our grievances, but celebrate that all the headaches mattered not in a game that was never in doubt. We also discuss the stadium atmosphere and some ...

NCAA ’14 Sim: Notre Dame vs Southern Cal

October 22, 2021 by Ryan Ritter

Every week, I feel like I write that the sim went peak sim. Yet every week, this video game simulation manages to exceed my wildest expectations. Unless you watched this live, there is no possible way you would come up with how this game unfolded. I'm sure you could get some pieces correct; however, I feel comfortable saying that no one would ever guess how this thing ended. I'm glad this happened in a rivalry game because it hits that much harder. Enjoy every bit of this stupid, bonkers ...

HLS Podcast: Welcome to the Offseason, Everything’s Crazy

January 15, 2020 by Ryan Ritter

Shane and I thought we'd have a nice, short relaxing show about the national title game to cap off our 2019 season podcasts. Then all hell broke loose before the offseason aged 24 hours. Notre Dame promoted Tommy Rees to offensive coordinator. Penn State found their way into a brand new scandal. Southern Cal fired everyone in the athletic department besides their football coaches. Joe Brady bolted to the NFL after extinguishing his victory cigar with LSU. Phil Jurkovec saved me from having to ...

HLS Podcast: Week 7, #BeatSC Recap

October 13, 2019 by Ryan Ritter

As we have with any Notre Dame night game, Shane and I hopped on the channel for a true post-game show. This week, there was loads to talk about as the chaos has truly begun with Georgia falling, the SEC being involved in an actual entertaining shootout, and Notre Dame ending up in a dog-fight with their biggest rival. Start off your bye week with us, bask in the glow of beating SC for the third year in a row, and get that Michigan hate brewing. ...

Friday Roundup: The Trolling Michigan via Uber Edition

September 6, 2019 by Ryan Ritter

One of the things that I've enjoyed the most in the past couple of years here at HLS has been our focus on our crazy little community. Case in point: @frsorinramblers whom you will find on Twitter, our Discord, and our Twitch Channel. During our Hot Dog Bye Week podcast, this Loyal Reader revealed that he would spend his bye week Ubering around Ann Arbor during Army/Michigan weekend. Here's his playlist: For those keeping score at home, that's Army's Fight Song, The Irish Tenors, "Here ...

Learning to Hate Southern Cal

October 18, 2017 by Ryan Ritter

The ritual of hatred during SC week comes rather naturally for most Notre Dame fans. Some of y'all probably came out of the womb wearing blue and gold diapers. Growing up, you learned that cardinal was an abomination next to the color gold. It's as easy as breathing. Many of you, like Jimmy, have memories in your childhood of games that helped define this rivalry. Others, like the Texan writing this post, learn and experience it far later in life. In fact, my first exposure to The Battle for ...

Three (Modern) Classics for USC Week

October 17, 2017 by Jimmy Grant

Though my wife has a good handle on the Notre Dame schedule, her seeing my dog coming down the stairs in the FUSC shirt was the giveaway for her to proclaim: "USC week already?! Man, this season is flying by." A weekend that saw four Top 10 teams go down underscores the feeling that the race for the playoffs is wide open. Some of that race will be decided in South Bend this weekend as #13 Notre Dame will take on #11 USC. The loser of this tilt will essentially be eliminated from the playoff ...

My Early Prediction For Next Year

January 9, 2017 by Jimmy Grant

I was happy to turn the page on the new year if nothing else than to turn the calendar on one of the worst years of Notre Dame football that I can remember. Starting on New Year’s Day of 2016 and throughout the season it was seemingly one bad moment after another. Now with the national title playing out tonight, our long Notre Dame nightmare can end. Or can it? Since the end of this season, there have numerous coaching changes. When the Irish tee it up on opening day next year, the ...
