I am truly excited to have a second shot at the #HLSrecap. Well Irish fans what can you say but WOW!! After a week of #HateSparty, it was time to get it on in East Lansing. The Irish have had this date on their mind since getting beat at home last year and the #Megaphone Trophy leaving it's spot in the "Gug" and traveling to the home of the Spartans. Personally, I was very nervous about this game as our team is trying to create its identity and prove that hard work, paying attention to ...
I believe the #HLSrecap is back in earnest today. It's been a while since we all collectively wanted to jump off a cliff and then ended the game toasting in celebration. The true spirit of the recap is to show the real-time angst and glory within the fanbase and was the 49-20 victory over Boston College ever the perfect example of this. As always, if you feel like we missed something, fire away in the comments below. But without further ado, let's get to the tweets! ...
The much awaited game between Notre Dame and Georgia went down on Saturday night. Starting with four F-15E aircraft performing the fly-over which energized the crowd into further excitement with chants of USA, USA. The match-up wasn't the blow away most were predicting. The game became more of a "neutral field" game as the "Dawg" fans had a beyond remarkable showing. This will be a subject of discussion for a while. The offense seemed to be stuck in first gear as the defense did more that ...
We. Are. BACK! For those that aren't aware, the #HLSRecap was something spawned by Irish Elvis. Think Twittermania that Subway Domer and One Foot Down have been doing for some time, but expanded to an entire timeline of the game. This monster has grown rather large and, for the sake of our sanity and schedules, we are trying to make it more manageable for us. That being said, if we missed something, post a link to the tweet in the comments. Perhaps we can toss it in a future recap if it is ...
It's a long offseason. Thankfully, ND Football dropped some new uniforms for the November 18 game vs. Navy. As usual, #NDtwitterati had some thoughts. Here's a small collection of the real-time reaction and commentary. ...
Good morning! I was thinking today again about Saturday. Boy, that was fun! We haven't been able to experience that winning feeling two weeks in a row. Virginia Tech is a good team, but they certainly struggled against Georgia Tech's option offense last Saturday. But before we jump ahead, let's look back one more time at the tweets that made us laugh, cheer and think, written by Notre Dame fans and media members during the blowout win over Army. ...
When the Irish lost yesterday, something sort of strange happened. I didn't feel shaken, depressed and inconsolable as I had in that moment after C.J. Sanders bobbled that punt return against Miami. I just questioned my sanity. Why do I continue to dedicate four hours on a Saturday to watching this team when I know they have the ability to affect my happiness? It's a sickness, man. It's a weird dedication that makes both no sense and perfect sense, depending on who you're talking to. I'm ...
The #HLSRecap will never die.* It's just sometimes a little later than its author would prefer. Relive all the joyous - and then horrifying - then joyous moments of the Notre Dame - Miami game from this past Saturday, as witnessed by the Notre Dame fans who were watching and tweeting during the back-and-forth tilt. (*I can't actually guarantee that. I'm just a caretaker here.) ...
As the whistle blew dead the last gasp effort of DeShone Kizer and the Notre Dame Irish, my wife must have seen the blood drain out of my face. She put her face in between mine and the television and said, "I'm sorry about your team. But your boys still love you. And I still love you." And I knew she was giving me a sense of perspective, but I still needed time to be bummed. It's a week later. I'm less depressed today than I was that night, but I'm also relieved I don't have to sit through ...
Today's performance was just awful. Yes, the weather had a lot to do with it. But the offensive line is getting zero push on runs. The receivers are dropping balls. The center is grounding snaps. The play calling is highly questionable. We don't relive it all in this week's #HLSRecap. But there's enough here to give you, dear reader, a flavor of what this game was like. (That flavor is disgusting.) Someday, I'll link to this recap to remind everyone about the lowest point in Brian Kelly's ...
