Amid the too-early proclamations ("Texas is back") and too-soon pronunciations ("Notre Dame's CFP shot is over"), not to mention thousands of tweets that translated to "What A Game!", there was some winning via social media Sunday night.
By Texas Exes (a "Hook 'Em" emoji? Who knew?), by past Notre Dame players, by at least one guerilla marketer trolling the Irish. And, of course, there was the obligatory Matthew McConaughey sighting.
It was an unforgettable night. And social media was there to capture every drop.

What a great game by both teams. ND with a huge comeback but they were overmatched the entire night. Swoopes/Buechele together won the game!

Notre Dame can still get a win by stopping by Whataburger on the way out of Texas
