A big thank you to all who cast votes in the first round of our #HLSRecapMadness tournament. Round 2 voting opens now and closes at 11:59 and 59 seconds Tuesday night.
(I’m trying a different poll to avoid some of the first round problems. If you hit “results” before “vote,” I have no idea how to get back to vote. So…don’t do that?)
Here are your second round match-ups:
#16 vs. #9
If the defense Cajuste get off the field….

First-round votes: @HLS_Moons – 29; @ndtex – 27
Upset specials! Moons reached out to the target of his pun – Stanford TE Devon Cajuste – and got a vote from him. Tex’s favorite tweet of the football season knocked out the formidable Ryan Nanni of SB Nation (who also voted for Tex).
#5 vs #13

First-round votes: @TomFornelli – 34; @tricerapops – 41
When I read Tom’s tweet, I thought: “I wish I could be that clever.” Pops, with his semi-oblique “Manchurian Candidate” reference, knocked off past #HLSRecapMadness champion @oaknd1 in the first round.
#6 vs #3
This start is less Macho Man Randy Savage and more Fred Savage

What though the odds be great or small, we're gonna need some hard alcohol.

First-round votes: @PeteSampson_ – 46; @bridgetgoirish – 28
Pete made the best #savage joke after Will Fuller’s tweet; Bridget took the Victory March and combined it with Irish fans’ other pasttime: day drinking.
#7 vs #2
This season of Serial should switch to discussing what happened to Nyles Morgan.

Nina’s tweet is, like Jill Goodacre offering gum in a locked ATM vestibule, perfection. Rakes’ reference is funny, then sad (and topical!)
