Insanity Region 5 vs 12

[mu03eng]

Slurpers

Used occasionally prior to 2013, a term for one who is all in on a particular point of view potentially to the exclusion of all other evidence.  Gained main stream appeal on Scoop in 2013 when used to describe derogatorily those who supported then Coach Buzz Williams position on just about anything.


Mbakwe

Trevor Mbakwe was another significantly hyped recruit for MU basketball, and looked the part too.  Looking much older than 18, built like a tank, and hitting campus during the Chuck Norris craze....it was inevitable.  In one of the most epic threads in Scoop history, the Mbakwe meme emerged...fully grown and capable of wrestling two bears with his left arm...and now Mbakwe has been able to accomplish feats of skill that even Chuck would stand and applaud.

Wow...

Wow...

No doubt...I'm not sure what surprises me more. That it's somewhat close or that it's close and Mbakwe is trailing.

The only reason willie uses the term "Slurpers" is because Trevor Mbakwe told him to. When Slurpers go to sleep at night, they check under the bed for Trevor Mbakwe. Mbakwe invented Slurpers when he told loyal Mbakwe fans they should back Buzz instead of him after his transfer.

You nailed it.

Honestly, even if someone was brand new here and had no idea what the Mbakwe meme was, just read the description.  How can you possibly vote against that description?

Because Mbakwe is the Indiana of Scoop memes.

It meant something awhile ago, but isn't relevant much any longer.

I do think it is telling though.  Those who posted/read in that Mbakwe thread would agree it is one of the greatest posts ever at Scoop.  That post isn't that old is it?  Like 2008 or 2009?  I would like to know those who were here in 2008/9 that voted for Slurpers.

Me.  I am a "what have you done lately for me" kind of guy.

I don't even remember the Mbakwe thread.

Nothing says Insanity Region like Wee Willie calling out posters with a pornographic descriptor.

What makes it even better is imagining him saying it, with his deep Eastern European accent.

Sorry, my avatar fur awhile was professional slurper. I think Willie labeled me grand admiral of the slurper fleet. I have to go with my constituents on this one

I remember reading the Mbakwe thread while in A Stan. It offered some humor in a bleak place. It was an epic achievement by the Men of Scoop.

Took me a while to find it, but it was worth the search... http://www.muscoop.com/index.php?topic=5048.0.

Somehow, I missed the thread.  There's no way I wouldn't have remembered that.

Yeah geez....imagine that somehow we are voting against something that is seven and a half years old.
