Shane &amp; I hold one last therapy session in talking about what went wrong during the Fiesta Bowl and what hopes we have for the future. Be sure to stay around post-credits for Eddie and I to pick the national championship and send off the HLS podcast in quite literally the most fitting way possible.

HLS Podcast Finale

The HLS Sim was born from my desire to do something different. In the vast sea of Notre Dame podcasts, I wanted to do more than stand out. I wanted to do something fun but also avoid our show being seen as a parroting of more popular Irish podcasts. So I sent a message with a wild idea to Shane: let's go on Twitch and stream a CPU vs CPU matchup of the week's Notre Dame game using a decade-plus old video game as our "preview". To my knowledge, no one was doing this (at best, they were playing NCAA '14 themselves) so I figured it was worth a season to experiment. The next thing I knew, the sim created a string of running inside jokes and we had people that legitimately made the sim appointment live viewing. Even though there were days I came to the stream completely exhausted and/or fighting a severe bout of depression, the sim always kicked me out of it. Something unbelievably stupid and hilarious would happen without fail--multiple times. Whether you watched live, on demand, or listened to the podcast, I can't thank you enough for making this a thing. The joy and laughter you heard was always geniune...as was my utter disgust when virtual Notre Dame lost. The Fiesta Bowl sim was a perfect send off. I couldn't have asked for anything better. I hope you enjoy the final entry as well. Five Wide. DRINK!--- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/herloyalsons/message

The Final Fiesta: Notre Dame vs Oklahoma State NCAA '14 Sim

After this episode, there will be only one more game to pick with Eddie: the 2021 National Championship. It's hard to believe this crazy picks journey is coming to an end--even crazier, we are still doing a damn good job. Despite opt-outs and COVID cancellations, Eddie and I went 7-2 last week, bringing our bowl totals to 13-10 and 12-11 as I keep my one game edge. Overall, we are 112-80-4. Yes, this means that we've hit the point in which we couldn't even screw up going over .500 if we tried! But like Notre Dame getting a good draw with Oklahoma State in the Fiesta Bowl, it'd be silly for us to lose a bunch now. So come enjoy your last large batch of winners! #HAILGAMBLOR--- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/herloyalsons/message

Penultimate Picks Pod

The only thing rougher than week one of bowl picks was whatever in the hell happened to me and my family before recording this show. There...was a lot. However, the show must go on despite my lack of research. With that in mind I came up with some, uh, "creative" methods to pick these games. I'm particularly proud of what I came up with for the multiple bowl games in baseball stadiums, personally. Oh, and we have some fun with bowl sponsors too, including me trying to chat with a bot during the show as pictured below:  #HAILGAMBLOR--- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/herloyalsons/message

2021 Bowl Picks: Week 2

It's the most wonderful time of the year: bowl season. After a ridiculously incredible regular season, Eddie and I are ready to ruin it all by throwing darts at bowl season. As we won't be recording until next Thursday, we have 14 bowl games to pick. More importantly, Eddie also has a list of bowl gifts ready to go. Even more importantly, we visit some of the websites to figure out what some of this stuff is and do we ever make some discoveries.

2021 Bowl Picks: Week 1

Yeah, yeah, Eddie won the $200 Extra Life bet. I will pay up once I finish the FFXIV: Endwalker main story/marathon on Friday (I hope!). Make sure to join that on my personal twitch channel. Thankfully, I realized that I run this show. I changed some rules. Gotta keep this interesting. After all, this isn't about the money now. It's about walking off this thing with a W.

Army/Navy & 2021 Futures Reviews

College football's playoff and NY6 Selection Sunday came and went mostly as expected. Notre Dame has landed in the Fiesta Bowl and will face Oklahoma State. Shane and I do discuss our initial thoughts on this game, which has never happened before; however, the beginning of the podcast focuses on the wonder that is Marcus Freeman. Shane gives his thoughts on the hire for the first time on the digital airwaves. We are both very excited for the beginning of a new era for Notre Dame, even though we won't be here to cover it in the uh...unique...way that we do. It's great to see the Irish face turn and we are ready for it to start with a victory in 2022.--- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/herloyalsons/message

Freeman Fiesta

Eddie and I were, understandably a little distracted by other things in this episode. We were ready to rant a lot about Brian Kelly abandoning the Irish, but we were blessed with news that was well with Marcus Freeman taking over the helm, along with several other assistants. Enjoy the picks, as well as me breaking in continuously to list of yet another assistant staying on board and not fleeing to Baton Rouge. I'm still three games behind Eddie in our annual Extra Life bet and I need to make up at least two here to make the Army/Navy game worth something. It all comes down to this. I'm not sure if I made the right picks, but I know I'll be able to sleep at night. #HAILGAMBLOR--- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/herloyalsons/message

EMERGENCY POD: The Fairy Godmother Is Real and BK's Gone

Another week, another victory recap episode in which there is very little to complain about for the Irish. The performance, especially in the first half, was as dominating as you will see in college football. Sadly, the no touchdown November streak died, Jack Coan had a bad interception, and the turf monster probably robbed us of a long TD or two. Despite all that, Notre Dame did what they needed to do to make their case to the playoff committee. Shane and I spend the second segment of the episode talking about the playoff picture, what we think needs to happen in order for the Irish to find themselves at the #4 slot (as well as what absolutely doesn't need to happen), and how we feel about this 11-1 effort by ND. It's hard to believe we've come to the end of regular season recaps, but we have at least one more to do!--- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/herloyalsons/message

Her Loyal Sons: A Notre Dame Football Podcast

I hope everyone gets a chuckle from the cold open. There's definitely not a whole lot of room for any other laughs in this episode after Notre Dame finds themselves absolutely embarrassed in Ann Arbor. Right off the bat, Shane and I deem this loss the worst of the Brian Kelly era. There's no sugar-coating it. This episode is probably less than a pod, but more of an hour-long therapy session on trying to deal with this. So come join us and try to start the healing--or come listen and get even angrier.

As we plan to do for all Notre Dame football night games, Shane and I hit Twitch live a few minutes after the final whistle blew in Athens. Kirby Smart tried to let the Irish back into it, but ND ultimately fell short on their final drive, losing 23-17. What went wrong? What went right? Can Notre Dame ever win these kind of games? What does this mean for the rest of the 2019 season? We tackle that and much more off the cuff and raw from the heartbreaking loss, including many questions and comments from an incredibly active live chat. Have thoughts yourself?

While it wasn't a full blood week, week 3 definitely held its fair share of surprises. Stanford and Southern Cal took hilarious losses. The entire ACC sans Clemson face-planted, including something that may be worse than an FCS upset.

Week 5 Recap - Catching Fire

After a noon slate that was just full of weird and ugly, we were treated to a tease of an upset of #1 (and they aren't #1 anymore so kinda happened?), and then transitioned to straight murder in the prime-time slate. I'd like to think that the Notre Dame defense really kick started the massive destruction in the second half against Virginia. The argument would probably be a little bit stronger with some better offensive execution, but I guess Irish fans can't have everything that they want.

Week 3 Recap - Winning is Hard

I wasn't planning on releasing a podcast. In fact, the interviews that you are about to hear were initially planned to debut during my 24-hour Extra Life marathon. But then Chip Long and Notre Dame decided to break up. In a happy accident, one of my guests, Ty Hildenbrandt of The Solid Verbal, already had a scheduled interview just a mere 24 hours after the news broke. So it seemed rather appropriate to get our thoughts on the situation in your podcast feeds ASAP with the added benefit of promoting my pediatric cancer fighting efforts. Along with Ty, I am joined by Vicki Lews-Enrst from the Children's Hospital Foundation of Oklahoma City, the Children's Miracle Network I raise money for and where my inspiration for all this, Aven was treated before he passed from leukemia. I can think of no better person to bring on to give everyone insight on where they money goes and also shed some light on the other awesome Extra Lifers that raise money for the CHF of OKC. My marathon kicks off at 7pm CT on my personal Twitch channel (twitch.tv/ndtex). As a part of this effort, I do terrible things to myself and we will kick off with two payoffs: (1) a terrible booze concoction and (2) a chest waxing, performed by Mrs. Tex. Yes, I might be insane, but it's all in the name of fighting pediatric cancer! Please join my effort by donating via extralife.ndtex.com. All donations are tax deductible, made securely, and handled directly by the Children's Miracle Network. Every dollar counts and, if you aren't in a position to donate, please spread the word! #ForTheKids #ForAven--- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/herloyalsons/message

Cheeseburger Championship Week Recap (aka THE IRISH ARE IN!)

The last real college football Saturday went out with one hell of a bang, kicking off with a convincing Notre Dame victory in the Camping World Bowl, and follow up with a great run of three New Year's Six games.

It seems too good to be true, but in a week in which many teams saw their seasons take a nose dive, Notre Dame strolled into Duke and came out with an easy W.
