#HLSrecap Top 25, brought to you weekly during college football season.

#HLSrecap Top 25: Bowl Game Recap

January 2, 2014 by IrishElvis and andrewwinn

Mondays are the worst, aren’t they? And by “Monday” I mean “the first day back from vacation”.

Here are your @andrewwinn stats for this week’s #HLSrecap  — 319 tweets from 120+ contributors, with 14 first-timers making the cut this week. We now have over 450 unique contributors to at least one #HLSrecap this year.

As you know, each week we present the following highly-coveted (and yet totally arbitrary) accolades:

  • Brick Helmet Stickers
  • #HLSrecap MVP
  • #HLSrecap Top 25

Here now is our Athletic Director, @FakeSwarbrick, who is alternating between orchestrating USC assistant coaching hires and planning Notre Dame Stadium offseason upgrades.

Brick Helmet Stickers

I incorrectly believed that I had handed out my final #BrickHelmetStickers of the year. Luckily for those of you who aspire to more internet glory (and who doesn’t?), you get one more round of these highly coveted imaginary stickers for your imaginary helmets. Go team!

So the Pinstripe Bowl. Yeah. Just like we all hoped for at the beginning of the season, right? Let’s face it – we cash advanced all of our 2013 breaks last season. It was time to pay the football gods back. And we’re never happy anyway so let’s just get on with the stickers.

@PDXIrish – Nina finished strong and managed to remain in #HLSRecapNina mode without being disowned by her grandmother. Nicely done, young lady. You can put your lady boner away now. Please.

@OptimisticDomer – His tweets don’t always live up to his handle, but that handle was a reach for a real Notre Dame fan anyway. This guys gets funnier every week and I hope he plans to tweet during basketball season.

@SupermanTDJesus – Strong. Again.

@thereidy – Here you go, Mike. At long last you finally stepped up your game. Now you can go kick your cat.

@1IrishChocolate – This performance was so strong that I had to break my “you have to follow me to get a sticker” rule. Holy crap I was rolling! Lou….you slay me, man.

#HLSrecap MVP

So fill to me the parting glass…

Now, onto the quantitative measures. This is just as it sounds — whoever has the most number of tweets that make the final cut will be awarded the #HLSrecap MVP Award.

Your winner for the Rutgers game: @1IrishChocolate with 28 tweets.

Your past 2013 #HLSrecap MVPs are as follows:

  • Stanford: @GoIrishGlory (18)
  • BYU: @Dixie_Domer (11.5)
  • Pitt: @PootND (16)
  • Navy: @Dcare24 (18)
  • Air Force: @IrishMoonJ (14.5)
  • Southern Cal: @HLS_NDtex (40)
  • Arizona State: @FakeSwarbrick (12)
  • Oklahoma: @SupermanTDJesus (12)
  • Michigan State: @PDXirish (11)
  • Purdue: @PDXirish and @HLS_NDtex (16 each)
  • Michigan: @HLS_NDtex (12)
  • Temple: @HLS_BayouIrish (9)

Upcoming Programming

Season #HLSrecap stats are provided below, and since everyone wants their own Internet Trophy, we’re going to be hosting the Inaugural HLS Awards Show & Live Google Hangout coming up later this month. Let us know here what date/time works best for you, and you can submit an idea for an award and/or recipient here. Translation: we don’t exactly know what we’re doing, but the range of topics/content/ridicule will be vast. We’ll post more details as the date approaches.

The #HLSrecap offseason has begun. We’ll have #HLSrecapMadness come basketball tournament time, but aside from the Blue-Gold Game and possible Stadium/uniform announcements, pray that this offseason is quieter than the last.

#HLSrecap Top 25

As a reminder, @andrewwinn awards one point for each tweet that makes it in; 1/2 point if someone else retweets/quotes/modifies your tweet and it’s included. The Twitter Ranking Of Leprechaun Legion (T.R.O.L.L.) Scale is awarded arbitrarily.

2013 trolled ND fans enough — no additional T.R.O.L.L. Points assigned this week, so the final #HLSrecap is straight up.

    I’m the BC of HLSrecap. I get mention every now and then, but I’m never in the hunt for the title.
