Here are your @andrewwinn stats for this week’s #HLSrecap — 190+ tweets from 113 contributors, with 51 first-timers making the cut this week. We now have over 430 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 Top 25
- #HLSrecap MVP
Here now is our Athletic Director, @FakeSwarbrick, who is busy placing phantom whistles under all the Stadium benches for Saturday afternoon.
Brick Helmet Stickers
This marks the first time in, like, a hell of a long time that I didn’t make the #HLSrecap. For those of you who were worried about me, fret not. No fretting. I will not suffer fretting. Your athletic director spent the game in the company of good friends, a lot of strong liquor, and a lady friend who was busting out of her bra.
I kid you not. It was glorious. I was doing JUST FINE.
Until sometime in the second half when my phone died. As I tweeted later, it was savage. Unholy. I had to make eye contact and talk to people like some sort of caveman. That is not the way God intended us to communicate. At least when I was tweeting I could sneak peeks at my date’s cleavage. But with no phone to hide behind it was all “my eyes are UP HERE BUDDY!”
But enough about my date’s goodies (you can tweet me for more details). What did we think of the game? I had to sort through a lot of tweets later when my phone recharged. Turnovers, consecutive passes….while it’s not nearly as fun as reading it in real time, you guys never disappoint.
- @SupermanTDJesus – Are you seeing a trend here? How many people run this account?
- @OptimisticDomer – He’s like the son I never had…the one I threw out of the house because of his smart mouth and alcohol problem.
- @AlyssaNicoleND – Hot. Funny. A potty mouth. I got dibs.
And finally…
Neither ND nor Syracuse ran a play in the red zone in the 1st quarter. As a result, both teams are now eligible to win the Big Ten.

#HLSrecap MVP
Now, onto the quantitative measures. This is just as it sounds — each week, whoever has the most number of tweets that make the final cut will be awarded the #HLSrecap MVP Award and the recipient of a jug and a couple drinking glasses from Indiana Whiskey.
Your co-MVPs winner for the Syracuse game: @IrishMoonJ and @HoosIrish with 6 tweets each.
However, I have but a single jug to award in a given week (otherwise the good people at Indiana Whiskey would be donating their entire inventory to thirsty ND fans on Twitter). So: seeing as @IrishMoonJ was such a good sport at deferring on his Week 1 co-MVP status, and (more importantly) seeing as he’s ranked higher in the cumulative rankings below, I will award him the #wHLSkey and the glassware that accompanies it. As a quick reminder: you’re only eligible to win #wHLSkey once per season. If you’ve already won, the highest weekly #HLSrecap contributor who hasn’t won will receive the Indiana Whiskey swag. In case of a tie (as in this week), it will go to the highest-ranked in the overall season rankings.

#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. Please welcome our newcomers to the Top 25: @tricerapops, @taddmike, @NDatRivals, @JohnGcomedy, @jdford, @itsTripp, @IrishTightness, and @IDtheMike.
