Hope everyone enjoyed the Memorial Day weekend, and enjoyed their favorite adult beverage in memory of those who gave the last full measure of devotion.  I'm sure they would be thrilled with one of the outcomes of their sacrifices being a meme tournament so I'm going to see that it gets done.  We come back from vacation and get right down to business with a couple of very polarizing memes.  The #1 seed is Hiroshima coming off a victory lap against a lame students suck meme performance, however they might have more of a challenge this time.  Turning into St Louis could be argued as a bi-product of the Hiroshima talk, but seems to have gained enough steam in it's own right to be a threat to Hiroshima.  Should be an interesting fight on our hands.

Hiroshima
A meme born of a discussion around changing standards for Marquette basketball.  During the Williams vs. Williams era, people with "sources" indicated that there were major changes coming and if people found out about them the board would be Hiroshima.  To date, Hiroshima was never sighted but that only fed the meme making it one of the strongest in Scoop history

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.
