Meme Tournament through Round 2 (Round 3 starts 5/19)

[mu03eng]

Well, the first full round of the meme tournament is in the books and it looks to be a doozy.  A fair number of tight matches, upsets, and general memery.

Attached below is the bracket through the 2nd round with scores of the rounds.  Some interesting facts for you

The match-up with the most total votes was in the Coach Carousel Region.  192 total votes were cast in the 5-12 match-up between Respect the Process and Warrior's Nickname.

The largest victory margin and win% was in Coach Carousel as well with Coach ____ to ____ defeating Sharpie 156 to 11

The closest match-up was also the biggest travashamockery of the tournament(62 of you should be ashamed and I don't want to even talk to the people that didn't vote).  In the Good Clean American Fun Region, 36-0 (UWM) pulled a last second stunning upset of #2 seeded Mbakwe.  Clearly Mbakwe didn't bring it's A game....but still.

Another nail biter was the Can't contest in the Epic Meltdown region.  Can't win on tv vs Can't recruit bigs ended 74 to 72 with TV coming out on top.

The 5vs12 match up was killer as usual with 3 of the 4 12 seeds winning.  Almost as deadly was the 3 vs 14 match-up with the higher seed going down twice.

One of those 5 vs 12 seeds turned out to be a lopsided affair......on the part of the 12 seed.  Warrior's Nickname may be the most underseeded meme in the tournament and apparently there is some passion still there.  We'll see if it can make a deep run in the tournament.

Upsets of note: 
Good Clean American Fun Region - 4 vs 13 (I be chillin' doe vs Beer Summit)
Coach Carousel Region - 3 vs 14 (Sources vs Maymon's Dad)
Good Clean American Fun Region - 2 vs 15 (Mbakwe vs 36-0 UWM)  so angry


The tournament will continue with the Coach Carousel Region Round 3 on Monday morning.  What was your favorite match-up or memory of the meme tournament so far?

Props for admitting that the Warriors Nickname is underseeded.  I think you accidentally added a 1 in front of the 2 without meaning to.  I never had a chance in that one, horrible matchup for me.

Mbakwe, however, was not overrated, there is just a clear lack of knowledge by the new Scoop posters in that vote.

Yeah I think Warriors was underseeded, but I didn't think it was top 3 seed.  I keep getting told that all the new grads don't care about the nickname and there is a fair number of new or soon to be grads on the site these days.

Perhaps the rumors of the demise of the passion for the Warrior nickname were greatly exaggerated

Truth be told, I voted for 36-0 because the Mbakwe meme got annoying after awhile. 

There.

I admitted it.

I voted for 36-0 also mostly because it'll be a recurring theme every year. 
"Are we playing UWM this year?" 
"Will it be a a 3-1 or 2-1 or 1-1 series?"
"If they play at the MECCA it's still like a homegame for us?"
"We should play all the Wisconsin D-1 teams."

You forgot:

"We are dodging them"
"It is good for the state of Wisconsin"
"It will be an easy sellout"

Almost memes onto their own.

[GooooMarquette]

Three out of four 12 seeds advance.  Same old same old.

[leever]

Was the dog's name Hoopaloop?

No.  "Humpaleg"

Well you have to remember it is a crapshoot.

Well you have to remember it is a crapshoot.

Let's have a secondary tourney with the memes in this thread alone.
So far, I've counted... "many."

[PuertoRicanNightmare]

This tournament needs a better trophy than the one on the .pdf.

Perhaps a golden ATV?

One Shining Moment will be f'ucking epic.
