#HLSrecap Top 25, brought to you weekly during college football season.
Good morning! Her Loyal Sons publishes a weekly list of the top 25 individuals who provide the best tweets during the Notre Dame football games and find their work included in our #HLSRecap. This is a “must-follow” list if you’re interested in funny and interesting content to supplement your game-watching experience.
Our Pitt recap featured few gripes and lots of jubilation as the Irish cruised in a game that wasn’t as close as the 42-30 final may have indicated.
Before we unveil the new Top 25, here’s a quick overview of the last recap.
- 190 tweets – It was certainly one of our briefer recaps, but I think it did an excellent job capturing the essence of the game.
- 126 total contributors – One of the goals of the #HLSRecap is to hear from all types of Irish fans. Mission accomplished this week.
- 52 first-time contributors – Welcome to @SWernerPG, @Jkellykelly, @chawalte, @MGonzo6, @mitchellmel5, @JayToyaND, @daBOYKINator, @Its_Gavy, @HandsomeRandall, @RichAK12, @BGInews, @PittDLHall, @QuestAttitude, @cshadeck, @DiShackelford, @Irish_Eric, @MAYORofCH12 (that tweet is soo wrong, but I laugh every time), @darrenthedog, @DanHaugh, @t_cleary7, @Amy_Ketchum, @remos90_nd1990, @thaflyguymcfly, @fuzzbucket43, @Thad_Sing, @BrianJMcKeown, @AceMc122, @SJD10304, @1IRISH1, @drbtroy, @caitlinmarie89, @ebray27, @jbhammer, @LawrenceMuir1, @Liz_Grow, @marksalke, @CPuzia, @Nick_Risen, @TheShameofArt, @BellaMcgovern, @crylikeatrain, @SteveinIowa1, @RichVarda, @IAmSpilly, @BleacherChat, @JohnMlynczak, @punkzinga, @autrydenson (or, you know, Coach), @AMSanford23, @poindexter755, @NDallDay91 and @MTCwithMook.
Finally, a reminder of how we keep score (because what good is having a recap without awarding arbitrary points?):
- 1 point for each tweet featured in the #HLSRecap
- 0.5 points for each tweet of yours that is RT’ed or quoted, giving credit for the alley & oop
- An arbitrary amount of T.R.O.L.L. points (The Ranking Of the Leprechaun Legion) handed out by the man that started this monster, @Irish Elvis.
Elvis has graciously declined to wield the T.R.O.L.L. sword for a fourth consecutive week, allowing Tex to make a meteoric rise to the (almost) top.
