#HLSrecap Top 25, brought to you weekly during college football season.
Here are your @andrewwinn stats for this week’s #HLSrecap — 300+ tweets from 112 contributors, with 24 first-timers making the cut this week. We now have nearly 420 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.
Brick Helmet Stickers
#HLSrecap Helmet Stickers. Awarded weekly. Brought to you by @FakeSwarbrick.
When I sat down to write this all I really wanted to say was “Here’s your #@%& stickers” and then crawl back into a bottle. The last few days have been a blur of alcohol and comfort food. For those of you wondering if there is enough gin and Cheetos on the planet to make the pain go away, I’ll let you know.
My shriveling liver, orange fingers and expanding waistline aside, it’s tough to remember that we were THIS CLOSE to celebrating the greatest comeback in Notre Dame history. But as the clock ticked down towards 00:00 I was forced to wonder, do even we deserve a game like this?
Yeah, probably. Sometimes this seems to be our lot in life.
One thing is for sure. In the relatively brief history of the Notre Dame #Twitterati, this game will go down in history. In the future we will all talk about where we were during the ASU collapse, near comeback, and, well, the second collapse. Congrats to these #BrickHelmetSticker recipients who made the game memorable for other reasons. This is the largest group ever but damn it was a hell of an effort.

#HLSrecap MVP
Indiana Whiskey, official #wHLSkey of #HLSrecap.
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.
Please draw all sorts of correlation between the first ever #PootCap and ND’s performance on the field — by that, of course I mean to send thanks and wellwishes in the direction of @PootND, #HLSrecap Guest Editor. Surely he will shine a spotlight on some obscure, yet deserving Twitter user and…

You serious, Poot? You quoted @HLS_NDtex the most?!
Well, he’s already @PDXirish’s MVP, and the rules stipulate one #wHLSkey bottle per season so…
Your MVP winner for the Arizona State game is “Timses” @oaknd1 with 19 tweets.
