MUScoop

Previous round summary:  Indifferent was apparently very indifferent because they didn't even bother to show up giving St. Louis the easy win.  Website also didn't show up, since it was still under construction giving an easy win to Hiroshima.  Now we have an in-state rivalry in the round of 32 that could be a real brawl.


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.


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

Aren't these 1 in the same?

Common misconception....Hiroshima was referring to athletes not qualifying because of changing academic standards whereas Turning into St Louis was about a complete de-emphisis of basketball as a focal point of the university.
