I wish I could take full credit for this episode's title, but that honor goes to @ndlauren who graciously let me use her comedic genius during Saturday's fourth quarter fireworks. There is very little to complain about in this one. Coan could find a bit more accuracy and the offensive line held together by the thinnest strands of duct tape could block better. But even with those issues, Notre Dame has this crazy confidence about them that has somehow filtered to Shane and I as well. It ...

NCAA ’14 Sim: Notre Dame “@” Wisconsin
This episode contains two things that are peak HLS: A cold open featuring the most unique possible technical meltdown we've ever had. Shane and I heard everything perfectly and the stream barely heard anything. Nearly five full minutes of scrambling while live.The sim delivered an absolute nightmare. When we thought we hit the bottom, the sim dug deeper and then dug deeper yet again. I'm honestly in awe of both happenings. We could've pulled either off if we actually planned it. This is ...
Friday Roundup: The Hard Seltzer Edition
As I teased last week, I wanted to discuss the hard seltzer renaissance that we're witnessing. I'm honestly if there's a better word to explain it because the concept itself isn't new, but the maneuver to capitalize on it sure has been something to witness. My first non-Zima-re-release dip into this sparkling booze pool came back when Mrs. Tex and I attempted the keto diet. While, yes, you can certainly have liquor, we craved a beer substitute--something that you could just pull out of the ...
Opponent Watch: Wildcat Edition
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. ...
You Had Me at “Wisconsin”
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 ...

CFB Week 6: A Tale of Two…
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 ...
