USC Morning Buzz: Notre Dame Loses Influential Figure

Notre Dame offensive line coach Harry Hiestand has announced his retirement.

This is considered a big loss in coaching circles because Hiestand was an influential figure during two stints at Notre Dame (2012-17; 2022). He was a graduate assistant at USC in 1987-88.

Among the offensive linemen he coached at Notre Dame were Zack Nelson (Cowboys), Quenton Nelson (Colts), Nick Martin (Raiders) and Mike McGlinchey (49ers).

  2. About that call… the player who grabbed the jersey, admitted it was holding, saying “ I hoped they would let it slide.” Three people knew it was the right call, the ref, the receiver and the defender. Also someone complained about the pass being uncatchable, but that only comes with pass interference, the call was holding.
    Finally we (me included) have become so reliant on the talking heads, that we don’t examine their motives for declaring the penalty bogus. I have never been able to see this fact because I only watch USC football and the announcers always agree with me.
    Not having a stake in the game, made it easier to see the call as correct. The field goal at the end was good strategy played too slowly. I thought, what if they fumbled on the next play or what if they were Helton’s SC and couldn’t score inside the 20. But again not really caring I saw it as a solid football move.

      1. Gabby,

        You are a prejudical racist polecat. Callin’ me a racist without knowing me is very stupid and very small on your part. Never put words in my mouth. You said that, not I. I don’t care if it is Dolly Parton, Elvis, Rhinna, Manillia Vanillie, Frank Sinatara, Sam the Sham and the Pharohs, El Chicano or any band, it is not the color of their skin you RACIST, it is their lie. It is their lie that they are performing. they are not performing. They are lying to you and about performing. This is the second time you have called me a racist. First, time I let it slide, this time, I will not. You have no idea who my friends are, my business associates who my friends are, or anything about me. So SHUT YOUR PIE FINGERS AND STOP THIS LIE ABOUT ME.

      2. PT….Let me remind you of your recent “chink” comments…..your words not mine. Many called you out over it, but you chose to not offer any rebuttal. I don’t know any Asian who would appreciate being called a “chink”….That’s a “you” problem, little man. Take ownership and don’t be a bitch about it. It’s not the only ethnic group you have attacked.

        “Chink” is an English-language ethnic slur usually referring to a person of Chinese descent. The word is also sometimes indiscriminately used against people of East Asian, North Asian, and Southeast Asian appearance. The use of the term describing eyes with epicanthic fold (“Asiatic eyes”) is considered extremely offensive and highly racist, with some sources equating the word chink as offensive as the word nigger.

        PS…. get educated on the NFL’s policy on half-time performances…..you sound like a mental midget

  3. Gabby,

    When originzations, govts, terrioists are attacking my faith, my country, or me, things get dirty. The govt of China is attacking our country by invading, stealing, and poisining it with covid. so feathers get ruffled. However, when they are people with not harm to that, then it is a different story. I was taught to protect the things that matter to me. Christ did when he turned Lucifer into Satan and the angels became demons. Yet we are to pray for these people as well. I also use ruskies, but i have not said krauts or nips. The reason I don’t use those because they are friends of the US.

        i will make it easy for you. If someone or something hates what I believe in, then I hate what they stand for. Then name calling is in. If name calling hurts your eyes, then don’t read. That is the only time, I will show dergatory towards anything. Why aren’t you ragging on me when I call ucla ugly, ruinvsille, cheaters, liars, felons? They are hate words for ucla.

  4. Hey Gabby, the reason I asked you that was that perhaps if we dealt in facts instead of the usual name calling the rest of us may actually get something out of it. Know what I mean? I have no real argument with anyone…I think.

  5. Pasadena idiot says I hate China because they are attacking us. It’s now okay to use a racial slur because of their attacks.

    Then he runs to the Jesus is my savior excuse for why the passion and prejudice. Screw Gabby, it’s Pasadena that’s being moronic. Don’t hide behind God when Jesus own words for his apostles were to turn the other cheek and love your enemies as you love yourself. Ghandi used to read the Bible and was confused as to why Christians couldn’t follow the words of their Savior. If he only knew. By the way, Rhianna is worth 1.7 BILLION dollars so hate all you want little broke az bithez. She can do the halftime show for free and pay for everyone to attend her mini concert and the game. Can any of you do that? Too many No life’s and lowlife on this blog.
