Notre Dame vs. Michigan Football 2018: The Twitter Recap

I had a love/hate relationship with the Her Loyal Sons recap.

As a fan of the site, I enjoyed its carefully curated collection of real-time reaction from Twitter. It was a perfect encapsulation of our fanbase: a mixture of funny, poignant and purely insane.

By the time I started contributing there, we had added a scoring element to it. Before the tabulation, regular readers had a general sense of which Twitter users were producing the best content. Now we were producing a Top 25 of accounts that tended to be “must follows” for gameday.

That was cool — but it was also a lot of work.
