Bye Week? More like: bye, productivity. I'm not lying when I say we all owe @andrewwinn a round -- you guys liked the 2013 #HLSrecap Top 25 stats he put together so he volunteered to do the same for the ENTIRE 2012 SEASON. He is a legend in his own time; now you can get angry at me (12 months after the fact) for not quoting you more often -- just keep in mind that your inclusion/exclusion is why we went undefeated last year. You'll recall I composed a highly-unscientific Preseason ...
#HLSrecap Top 25: Week 10 Recap
Programming Note In my weekly crash report & tech support email to the Storify Help Desk, we've concluded that mobile users should not experience #HLSrecap crashing if they a) have no other apps open, b) are using the phone's most recent software platform, and c) no other browser windows are open.

Who To Watch Oregon at Stanford (Thu 9:00pm ET ESPN) Get your weekend off to an early start tonight. I don't think the Cardinal can hang with Oregon on either side of the ball, and should ND manage to win at Palo Alto, will probably decrease the impact of that achievement. Harrumph. On Saturday, BYU and Wisconsin will make for an intriguing afternoon matchup. Learn the name Kyle Van Noy, people...he's going to cause some problems. ...

Opponent Watch: Steel City Edition
Who To Watch Pittsburgh at Georgia Tech (Sat 7:00pm ET ESPNU) Stanford & BYU are off this week, so by default you should watch ND's next opponent once ND-Navy concludes. The Panthers haven't exactly impressed this season, but next week's road game should test the mettle of our team and fanbase. One can also hope that a meteor also hits East Lansing Saturday afternoon and leaves no survivors. ...
