Meme Tournament Brackets revealed

[mu03eng]

The brackets are ready to go assuming no catastrophic changes in the play-in game voting.  The first bracket up this afternoon will be the changing coaches region.  Enjoy

Don't mean to be a party pooper, but am I only one that thinks this is sort of lame? Do we really need to do one of these each year? How much could it have changed in a mere 12 months of overly unexciting MU basketball.

I get it is a long off season with plenty of time to kill, I guess I just don't get the need for another one of these.

But maybe it is just me...who knows. Moving along...

You're a party pooper.   It is a dead period, basketball-wise, and somebody went to all of the trouble to put something light hearted and amusing together.   

[JamilJaeJamailJrJuan]

Fair enough.  I am certainly not discounting the hard work MUENG puts in on this.  I think I am just salty that every time I log in here I hope to see a "___ Grad Transfer Commits to MU" and have been left disappointed like 100 times in a row. 

Enjoy the tournament, fellas!

[Tugg Speedman]

May I suggest a play-in tourney ...

(I don't think I saw these listed)

"____ will be fine"
vs
"next man up"

"Superbar"
vs
"Ain'a"


And one more trying to get in ...

R-E-L-A-X

Honestly, if people don't want the tournament that's fine doesn't really both me any.  It's fun putting it together and makes me chuckle so it's not really wasted work.

You'd be surprised, I think at least 12 new memes made the tournament this year and there were a couple that made a real late push that could have been included but I didn't catch them in time.

Just trying to make the summer doldrums pass a little faster.  Also there have been some good suggestions and one or two items I might have overlooked.....if we do this annually and someone wants to help out I'm more than happy to have them on-board.  Volunteers are always welcome. 

[hairy worthen]

I like it.

What's the big deal, if you don't like, don't do it.

[GooooMarquette]

Can we put "party pooper" on the early watch list for next year?

Ah Teve didn't make the cut. RIP Teve.

[Juan Anderson's Mixtape]

Where is "Diamond Stone should come to Marquette"?  Felt like every few weeks someone would post that MU and Stone are a great match and Wojo should recruit Diamond/Diamond should commit to MU.  Even though there was no mutual interest for months people would still post these threads.

[Stronghold]

Well done well done!

[mu03eng]

Ah Teve didn't make the cut. RIP Teve.

Yeah that was a major oversite by the committee and something I really regret.  We'll have to adjust the algorithm for next year.

[Dr. Blackheart]

Same algorithm that was used for the Awards Banquet?

[mu03eng]

Same algorithm that was used for the Awards Banquet?

Yes, the Riley Crean Honorary Algorithm

[GooooMarquette]

But Teve didn't play any strong out of conference memes.

[BrewCity83]

But Teve didn't play any strong out of conference memes.

Teve's OOC SOM was weak.

(out of conference strength of memes)

[Juan Anderson's Mixtape]

Teve failed to win it's meme conference tourney.  When you're a mid-major meme and don't take care of business you are at the mercy of the committee.

[GooooMarquette]

Just heard a rumor that Teve is trying to add Done Deal and Derrick to its OOC schedule next year.  Smart move.

[GGGG]

The good news is that Teve automatically qualifies for the Meme NIT.

[BrewCity83]

The Admin won't let Teve into the Meme NIT or the Meme CBA...it's the big meme dance or nothing!!

[Eldon]

Teve was waaaay overrated.

I was, however, a big fan of #freestevetaylor

[Earl Tatum]

WHO CARES!!!!

[brewcity77]

WHO CARES!!!!

You must, since you took the time to click in and respond

Press on, Navy. Bravo Zulu!
