Title: MUScoop Meme Tournament Elite Eight Game #3
Post by: mu03eng on June 09, 2014, 02:20:19 PM
The first overall 1 seed goes down in a barn burner with a meme all about not winning in big games.....if we knew what the definition of irony was any more this might fit.  Can't win seems to have this chip on it's shoulder that propels it through the toughest of games.  It'll need all it has as it goes up against a red hot shooting, non-dribbling, anglo-saxon meme in Traditional.  Able to win relatively handily, Traditional gets a touch test for a shot at it's first final four since short shorts were in style at Gonzaga.

Can't win on national tv or w/ baby blues
I can't find any origin history on this meme but it relatively ubiquitous for MU fans.  Per the legend, the team can't win when on national tv or when wearing the baby blue unis.  God help them if both are happening at the same time.  There have been a large number big wins and losses on national tv to make this not true, but never let reality stand in the way of a good meme

Traditional
One of Scoops most prolific posters(and sometimes polarizing) ChicosBailBonds started a thread praising Josh Gasser, a sharpshooting player for the hated Badgers.  As the conversation evolved he described Gasser as "traditional" and other posters decided that was code for Caucasian.  As a result, the word traditional was hijacked to refer to any Caucasian, well, ever.  And so was born the running racial meme on Scoop
