Her Loyal Sons Podcast

The regular season has finally ended, the playoffs seeded, bowls assigned, and coaches shit-canned. Come join Shane and I as we discuss a rather chalky championship weekend, initial reactions to the bowl slate, the silly season, and Notre Dame's upcoming matchup against Iowa State in the Camping World Bowl. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/herloyalsons/message

We've finally hit the final week of regular season picks. After this, it's bowl season, but before we move to that chapter I have to find a way to pick up one more game on Eddie to finally beat him head-to-head. There's a lot of fun football on the slate and some final chances for chaos. Don't let the moment pass you by and join us at the altar of GAMBLOR one more time. #HAILGAMBLOR --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/herloyalsons/message

The final week of the college football season never disappoints. Notre Dame's easy win against Stanford certainly didn't raise too many eyebrows, but to be fair it's hard to compete against Ole Miss losing because of a dog urination celebration and Nick Saban losing due to have twelve men on the field. We have loads to discuss this week, including multiple coaches showing their asses in post-game pressers, finding the true definition of accepting mediocrity, and discussing the start of the silly season that is the coaching carousel. It's the last regular season recap, so be sure to tune in! --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/herloyalsons/message

It's the final Notre Dame NCAA Sim of the regular season. We got rain. We got crosswinds. We got a stadium that neither virtual or real Brian Kelly has ever won in. Will the streak of nightmares continue? Or will ND exorcise multiple demons? Come take some time out of your turkey hangover to come find out as we close out the sim season. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/herloyalsons/message

We've finally arrived at both the greatest and saddest time of the college football season. It's the week in which everyone around the nation stops pulling their scheduling punches and goes all-out--the final week of the season is upon us. The Iron Bowl. The Game. Bedlam. The Battle for Paul Bunyan's Axe. And that's just scratching the surface. Oh, and Notre Dame needs to end a freaking decade-long streak of failing to beat Stanford at the farm. It's the final regular season trip to the altar of GAMBLOR, and we even gave you a bonus pick in the cold open. Come join us. #HAILGAMBLOR --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/herloyalsons/message

While this week typically doesn't have wall-to-wall excitement, it was far from boring. A top ten team fell, some games got spicier than expected, and even Notre Dame's blowout of Boston College was elevated by the fantastic, and Flutie-free, Notre Dame Fan Feed. We hit the major stories of the week, including some additional opining from yours truly about a couple Texas teams. Plus a look at the ND/BC game that might just talk more about the broadcast than the actual game. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/herloyalsons/message

I'm not sure if there is a more frustrating combo for a Notre Dame fan than to have to deal with than consecutive weeks featuring Navy and Boston College. The Navy sim eased fears and was a solid predictor for a good time this past Friday--perhaps we run it back again? There's only one way to find out. Come join us in the most accurate prediction method in all of sports, the NCAA '14 sim. After all, it's senior day against BC, what could possibly go wrong?! --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/herloyalsons/message

This is always the toughest week of college football to find decent and entertaining games to put on the board. Shoutout SEC for your FCS habit and damn near every other conference working overtime to skirt rivalry matchups and fun. Despite the frustration, it's still college football y'all. There are only two Saturday's of full season goodness left to consume. Don't abandon it. Cherish it and come with us to the altar of GAMBLOR as the good Lord intended. #HAILGAMBLOR --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/herloyalsons/message

Yes, we realized that ranked them that Notre Dame blew out was Navy. Further, this beatdown will likely bar Navy from returning to the rankings. We don't care. It was fun. It was cathartic in a way. 50-burgers are never a bad thing However, there were loads of other important stories from around college football. The upsets were few, but the storylines many. Shane and I kick off your week by getting you up to date on everything. Come join us and enjoy the mental image of Chase Claypool still torching the Navy secondary. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/herloyalsons/message

The Notre Dame NCAA Sim returns this week, bring Shane and a cold open back with it. With our virtual booth back to full strength, we turn to the most accurate of all prediction methods in sports to see just how much we need to worry about a ranked Navy team. After all, we've seen Notre Dame struggle against offenses deploying option concepts this season, so it's not like the number next to Navy's name is the only thing to worry about. We also discuss recent NCAA compliance cases featuring Chase Young & Ohio State, as well as Memphis' James Wiseman in our tailgate. We also have a brief discussion about Notre Dame's sellout streak coming to the end before we dive headlong into virtual triple option football, which, I dare say got... ...sexy?! --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/herloyalsons/message

Last week was wall-to-wall glory. Despite the chaos Eddie and I found ourselves batting .500 for the week and look to improve upon that performance in week 12. While this week's slate isn't as insanely loaded on paper, the potential for chaos to continue is certainly present. After all it's college football in November and, despite our best efforts to predict, we all know anything can and will happen. We're running low on college football Saturdays. Come join us at the altar of GAMBLOR while you still can. #HAILGAMBLOR --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/herloyalsons/message

Could it be? Did we really all just witness a solid Notre Dame football game with minimal headaches? 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. It's a shorter episode for all the best reasons. It's the last time I roll solo this week, so come join for a recap of one hell of a week in college football and ND's second road victory of the season. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/herloyalsons/message

This weekend I'm rolling both solo parenting and solo on the pod. With Shane out on a trip, the sim and the chat serve as my co-host. The past couple of weeks this sim has had some insane moments of prophecy and I look for that to continue this week. I actually spend some time during this virtual fever dream trying to figure out exactly what those moments might be. I spend even more moments dancing to Epic Sax man. Trust me, this all makes sense. It's perfectly normal. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/herloyalsons/message

Y'all, it's finally time for college football to take off. With the calendar fully settled into November, we find ourselves with a loaded slate this weekend.  The first college football playoff rankings are out. We have a top five game. We have multiple top 25 games. We have teams with fired coaches. We have teams with soon-to-be-fired coaches (hi, Southern Cal!). You've had a couple months to prepare for this insanity. Eddie and I are ready and at the altar of GAMBLOR as always. Come join us and get hype for the weekend. #HAILGAMBLOR --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/herloyalsons/message

A bad win is always better than a bad loss, but that doesn't mean we shouldn't take a hard look at how Notre Dame gave us all a heart attack this past Saturday. Plus, we had a far amount of crazy go down this week, especially in the Group of Five. Come start your week off with Shane and I as we take a look at everything that went down as college football enters the all-important month of November. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/herloyalsons/message

Running the sim on Halloween seemed like a disaster waiting to happen. After all, it predicted, with far too much accuracy, the hell that awaited Notre Dame in Ann Arbor. However, this time around, dare I say it gave us hope?! Also in this episode a bit of chatter about name, image, and likeness rights for college athletes, plus an iTunes review that I somehow missed for over a month! --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/herloyalsons/message

I think Notre Dame may have broken Eddie, but that's not going to stop our weekly visit to the altar of GAMBLOR. All of a sudden we are in the final month of the season and the only thing that will make us sadder than a game up north that shall not be named will be when this is all over. So we shall attempt to savor it and move forward. Even if it hurts. Plus, I have a three game lead on Eddie and dammit, I'm finally going to win one of these years. #HAILGAMBLOR --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/herloyalsons/message

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. Whatever works. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/herloyalsons/message

Remember every nightmare that you had as a Notre Dame fan about the 2011 Under the Lights game. Well, do we have a sim for you! (I'm sorry.) (But the chat went hard in the paint with the new ability to play drops and that makes it all worth it!) --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/herloyalsons/message

We've finally arrived a Michigan hate week after the bye. While the hate is absolutely flowing through Eddie and I, we due our due diligence and visit the altar of GAMBLOR as we do every week. This slate is LOADED. Oh, and there's potential for blood week in the waters as well. It's gonna be a fun weekend. Come get your degenerate on and preview what's to come this weekend with us! #HAILGAMBLOR --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/herloyalsons/message
