2011-12 Florida Gators Meme Tournament Champion: Muschamp Stare

When I put this tournament together, there was only one obvious choice to be the #1 overall seed and that was Muschamp Stare. From the very moment that this poster went public, it was destined for greatness. Just look at it.

Gators Meme Tournament: Championship

1) Muschamp Stare: The poster that spawned the Tumblr page.
1) "I doodoo, then listen to Katy Perry": That quote came from a redshirt freshman WR and instantly became one of my favorite players.

Scouting Report: University of Louisville Cardinals

Founded: 1798 by Spuds Mckenzie. What hasn't that dog done!?!

Location: Louisville. The good part of Kentucky. Just kidding, there are no good parts of Kentucky.

Enrollment: 19,743

Famous Alum: Tugger Michaels. Oh, you don't know who Tugger Michaels is? Well, neither do I because I made him up because nobody worth a damn has ever graduated from Louisville. That's not an indictment of the school because the world needs ditch diggers, but if you want to be famous, don't attend Louisville. Diane Sawyer attended, but did not graduate because she knew her face would never be seen by millions if she stayed at such a dismal place.

Gators Meme Tournament: Final Four Voting

1) Muschamp Stare: The poster that spawned the Tumblr page.
1) "What's a Padawan?": Here's the video and here's what Every Day Should Be Saturday did with it.




7) Muschamp yelling at refs: He did this a lot. Often being picked up by the on-field mic saying not so nice things like, "YOU AIN'T GOT NO GUTS, MAN!"
1) "I doodoo, then listen to Katy Perry": That quote came from a redshirt freshman WR and instantly became one of my favorite players.

Scouting Report: Marquette University Golden Eagles

Mar-ket. Get it? Wocka Wocka Wocka!

Founded: 1881. It just appeared out of thin air, which in a way explains how Marquette vanishes out of thin air every year well before the Elite Eight.

Location: Milwaukee, Wisconsin. Home of clogged arteries, minimal lung capacity, enlarged hearts, sleep apnea, hypertension, diabetes, and cheap beer. The only redeemable quality is Bob Uecker.

Enrollment: 11,599. They couldn't round that off to 11,600? That annoys me.

Famous Alum: Chris Farley who began drinking and using drugs while there. So it's safe to say, had he attended any other college he would be alive today. Marquette killed Chris Farley.

MR. TWO BITS REGION
1) Muschamp Stare: The poster that spawned the Tumblr page.
4) FREE GILLY: RB Mike Gillislee did not get the ball nearly enough in 2011. FREE GILLY became Gator fans war cry. I'm not sure where it originated, but it caught fire.

Scouting Report: Norfolk State University ????

Founded: Fuck if I know.

Location: Your guess is as good as mine.

Enrollment: Can't be that many...20?

Famous Alum: *Shrugs*

Conference: Uhhhh, Colonial?

Head Coach: OH! I KNOW THIS...It's um, ah, what's his name? Pretty sure I heard it on TV or saw it on Twitter during the Missouri game. I wanna say, Frank? No, I'm thinking of Frank Haith. I really wasn't paying attention. I was playing Draw Something with a friend. Goddamn that game's addicting. I actually just started playing yesterday. My coworkers got me hooked. We spent the entire day playing. Did not get a single thing done at work. I frequently like to draw RoboCop in hopes that if I ever get the chance to draw him, I'll nail it because of all the practice I put in. I'm willing to piss off my friends and even lose a few, but when the day comes that Draw Something asks me to sketch the Silver Knight of Detroit, everyone will understand that it was all worth it when they gaze upon the glorious work of art in the palm of their hand. Anywhoozers, what was I talking about? I don't know. Fuck it. I forget.
