Title: Epic Meltdown Region - 8 vs 9
Post by: mu03eng on May 07, 2014, 12:13:02 PM
Slurpers
Used occasionally prior to 2013, a term for one who is all in on a particular point of view potentially to the exclusion of all other evidence.  Gained main stream appeal on Scoop in 2013 when used to describe derogatorily those who supported then Coach Buzz Williams position on just about anything.

Turning into St Louis
Much like Marty McFly to 1955, there seems to be some sort of temporal connection to the longest thread in Scoop history.  As part of the Buzz to SMU thread, someone(there is a lot to dig through) accused the MU administration of wanting to remake Marquette in the St Louis University "model"(whatever that is).  Needless to say, a meme was started to be used anytime anything was done by MU admin that even one person would disagree with ever, forever.  So if someone says on Scoop "we're turning into St Louis" they probably don't like the move.....and they're funny.

This one is a tough pick and very representative of an 8 vs. 9 game!

I think in general the meltdown bracket is the bracket of death....I'd look for the eventual winner to come out of here....if they don't knocked out by a strong sleeper.

That someone was the informed Goose and he was likely very right given the desires of our former President
