A Notre Dame Football Blog
So it has come down to this. Sixty-four tweets, innumerable shenanigans, and we're left with four brave souls (I don't think we have any gingers left in this competition, do we?). Because voting on The Internet is serious business, I wanted to give you some more background on each of your finalists. You'll find their answers to my hard-hitting questions below. ...
We're coming down to the wire, ladies and gentlemen. It was a good year to be seeded in the 6-13 range, as all but one of our remaining 8 contestants used this lower-profile status to their advantage.

It is with a heavy heart that I press on, although I'm out of the tournament. Cast Your ...
Well, that was great fun, wasn't it? I was about to chide myself for poor seeding, but then actual March Madness happened, so #HLSrecapMadness looks downright tame by comparison.

We're going to move a little more quickly now -- polls close Wednesday, and I'll be back on Thursday with the #HLSrecapMadness Sweet Sixteen. To all you ...
Let's face it: we're all missing football just a bit. I think Twitter is the World's Greatest Sports Bar, and I take fan tweets during Notre Dame Football games and create a game summary we like to call #HLSrecap. But now it's March Madness time, and while we can all appreciate some good college basketball, we're combining the sudden-death format of a 64-team basketball bracket with the greatest tweets of the 2013 ND Football season. You vote on who advances. History of #HLSrecapMadness ...
Polls for this round close at 5:00pm ET on Saturday, March 22. #8 MarktheNomad vs. #9 IrishElvis https://twitter.com/MarktheNomad/status/381525836425617408 https://twitter.com/irishelvis/status/391681179637673984 Judging by the postgame comments from Mark Dantonio, I'd say the first tweet fairly encompasses ND's offensive strategy against the Spartan defense.
