2014 - We Hate You Tourney

[jncuse]

EDIT - It seems some want to nominate people throughout the history of the program. So I may pull a Lunardi, and just change the way we are doing things midway. Or go back to the way it was originally intended for things that only impacted 2014 only. Let's see how things progress.

I know we have a most popular poster tourney potentially going on, but with the many things that have caused us displeasure this year, this would seem to be natural for an annual tourney.

Refs, teams, announcers, writers, specific players, specific coaches.. anything associated with the SU fan's NCAA Basketball experience is eligible.


Note these nominations were for 2014 alone. Most will not get in anymore if we go with a historical view. I bolded those who we may still consider. We need some more

The corpse of Tom Brennan.

We will go with 64... no seeds. Tournament matchups will be random.

Heck we could have 64 of entries just Hoya related.

Remember it still has to have some relation to 2014 in some way. Georgetown and John Thompson are still around so they are certainly eligible.

Tony Greene wins this in a landslide.

Dick Vitale is a saint.

 

[ORRange]

Jamie Dickson Pitt Coach

 

[HoustonCuse]

Mark Turgeon. He plays pretty good defense in the Maryland full-court press but he also trolled us pretty hard after we beat them.

Added:

Jamie Dixon
Goergetown
John Thompson III

Good Call.

Mark Turgeon - IN

Greene seems like he could be a #1 seed.

Some dissent on Vitale. Noted. He is on the bubble.

 

[NashvilleOrange]

Talib Zanna from Pitt.

 

[Briancuse]

How about a final four of Tony Greene, Brennan, Calhoun, and John Thompson

I guess we need to make a call if the person needed to be active in 2014... if the person continued to cause displeasure within the last 12 months they can qualify.

I didn't see the 2014 qualifier when I nominated Brennan. He is still to me the most annoying thing ESPN has ever rolled out. People in 2014 kept trying, and failing, to top him so that would be his only current relevance.

A few others for consideration:

Adidas Uniforms
Syracuse Blue Shorts
Ron Morris (AP Voter)
Virginia (turned into a nice rival for a short time)
Jay Bilas (still popular overall, and I don't mind him, but he rubbed some the wrong way this year - 16 seed material)
Seth Greenberg
Digger Phelps

 

[jvbj01]

Boston College
Georgia Tech
Duke

Wait...no Michael Graham?! Where's Michael Graham? And what about that junior college transfer that played for Indiana in 1987? Where the hell is that guy? Is there a date limit on this thing?

 

[jvbj01]

Keith Smart

 

[jvbj01]

The
Knicks

 

[cap2nine]

Mark Schwarz

Annual nomination for the remainder of his life.

 

[PeteCalvin]

Talib Zanna from Pitt.

What about:

Carl Krauser
"Precious" Paul Evans (he put the 'dick' in Dixon)
Zavackas
Chevy Troutman
Sean Miller
Lamar Patterson
The Oakland Zoo

We should do a tournament seeding for every team.

I was trying to keep it to 2014, so we could have an annual winner.

But seems to be more passion for a historical view.
