Here are your @andrewwinn stats for this week’s #HLSrecap — 130+ tweets from 71 contributors, with 9 first-timers making the cut this week. We now have nearly 400 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
Be sure to read about this week’s #HLSrecap Celebrity Guest Editor.
Here now is our Athletic Director, @FakeSwarbrick, who now has control of submarine nuclear launch codes thanks to a pregame bet with the Navy A.D.
Brick Helmet Stickers
So raise your hand if you thought Notre Dame would score 49 and we’d all be sweating this until the end?
That should be all of you. This is Notre Dame we’re talking about. Get ’em up.
So what can we take from this game?
Golson is the first player in our history to throw for three TDs and run for three TDs in a single game (take that, Rudy!). I’m still solidly on Everett’s bandwagon.
On the other hand, Brindza pulled a troll job for the ages by, just, you know, acting like NOT a kicker. And the defense must have been mesmerized by VanGorder’s facial hair, allowing Navy to burn the Irish with 454 yards of offense.
Unlike two weeks ago when we had a “quality loss” to Florida State, the Irish did NOT impress the playoff committee. But we press on with with the following Twits who earned highly coveted #BrickHelmetStickers.
- @HLS_BayouIrish – finally gets one this season! Where have you been?
- @taxbastard – NSFW as usual with tons of awesome nautical and penis references.
- @andrewwinn – I really like the third Indiana Jones movie. Well played.
#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.
Thanks again to special #HLSrecap Guest Editor @PDXirish last week for coming in and removing the “HLS author” bias from #HLSrecap. I’m looking at the numbers here, and it appears that @andrewwinn has a game-high 7 tweets, but since he’s already received some delicious Indiana Whiskey for his efforts in the Rice game, your MVP winner for the Navy game is @HLS_NDtex with 5.5 tweets.

#wHLSkey Fine Print
You’re only eligible to win #wHLSkey once per season. If you’ve already won, this week’s most prolific #HLSrecap contributor who hasn’t won will receive the Indiana Whiskey swag. In case of a tie, it will go to the highest-ranked in the overall season rankings.
Special Announcements
#HLSrecap Celebrity Guest Editor is @PootND
Let’s just dispense with the T.R.O.L.L. Points this week. and put Poot in charge of this thing. His 2011 Twitter performance during ND-Maryland was high art the inspiration for #HLSrecap, we’ve named the #HLSrecapMadness Trophy in his honor…and Lena just made @HLS_NDtex the MVP of her #HLSrecap. I can’t think of a better time to give the keys to Poot.
#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: @NDatRivals, @Dixie_Domer, @thereidy.
