Hoopaloop
This is one of the more controversial memes in Scoop history and is relatively difficult to explain.  Hoopaloop was a poster that popped up during some of Chico's occasional absences from Scoop for bad behavior.  This poster came to stir the pot as much as Chicos did leading to speculation that Hoop WAS Chicos.  Oh hilarity ensued.  Eventually it was "revealed" that the poster known as Hoop and Chicos "knew" each other and Hoop let Chicos borrow his log-in to post, because he just can't quit you Scoop.  Hoop disappeared shortly after Chico's re-instatement, but not before they mutually supported each others arguments for a while.  This event also spawned the beer summit meme.  This is why the internets are the best.

Wade wearing Indiana shorts
Another MU summer special as well as a meme I couldn't find the origination of.  Apparently Wade was caught on two different occasions wearing Indiana basketball shorts in public, now we know how Gabrielle Union feels....HEY OH.  Anyway, this public flirtation with Tanned Tommy's program from the most recognizable MU basketball product in the last 20 years sparked some strong reaction and an on-going meme from Scoop.  This is an interesting meme because it seems such a trivial thing to get worked up over, but you do kind of get why its poor form.

Not sure how Wade wearing IU shorts has more than 1 vote here...

Hoopaloop has to be the 2nd most underseeded team in this tournament, with the Warriors nickname being a distant first.  Those 2 should meet at some point in the Tourney.

I think you'll be surprised.  I think there was a relatively small band of posters involved in the Hoopaloop fiasco, some of whom are no longer actively posting.  It very well could be underseeded but does it have enough name recognition?

Lots of people saw the Hoopaloop "fiasco," I was always surprised that many of you guys cared that much about who was posting.

Wade wearing IU shorts, though, stung a bit for most MU fans.

I think you're right.  I just think it was absolutely hilarious.  Just everything about it.

I don't know, the blatant lying even after being busted was pretty hilarious.
