 |   Warriors nickname   |   A constant topic for Marquette fans since the nickname change in the 90s, it resurfaces from time to time on Scoop for endless debate and argument.  Likely the meme with the most staying power.   |   Pre-Scoop   |   A lot of posters   |   nearly all threads   |    |   Warriors nickname   |   A constant topic for Marquette fans since the nickname change in the 90s, it resurfaces from time to time on Scoop for endless debate and argument.  Likely the meme with the most staying power.   |   Pre-Scoop   |   A lot of posters   |   nearly all threads   |   
 |   Andy Katz is a badger   |   These are facts:  Andy Katz graduated from UW-Madison and he is a sports journalist for ESPN.  Less proven fact and more general feeling:  Andy Katz hates Marquette because of the first two facts and therefore does everything he can to sink the MU program.  Part of this was fueled by his universal inserting of Tom Crean's name into every job opening ever, I think he once said Crean was leaving MU for Cary Junior High girls basketball team in Illinois(that may not be true, I may have made that up).  So the easy meme, Andy Katz is a badger and you never have to pay attention to anything he says ever again.     |   Pre-Scoop   |   A lot of posters   |   nearly all threads   |    |   Andy Katz is a badger   |   These are facts:  Andy Katz graduated from UW-Madison and he is a sports journalist for ESPN.  Less proven fact and more general feeling:  Andy Katz hates Marquette because of the first two facts and therefore does everything he can to sink the MU program.  Part of this was fueled by his universal inserting of Tom Crean's name into every job opening ever, I think he once said Crean was leaving MU for Cary Junior High girls basketball team in Illinois(that may not be true, I may have made that up).  So the easy meme, Andy Katz is a badger and you never have to pay attention to anything he says ever again.     |   Pre-Scoop   |   A lot of posters   |   nearly all threads   |   
-|   Maymon’s dad   |   Jeronne Maymon was a very sought after player in 2008 and was then HC Buzz William's first major get.  At the announcement of his school choice, Jeronne managed to get upstaged by his flamboyant father.  Later, 10 games into the 08-09 campaign, Jeronne up and quit on MU.  Not long after rumors and speculation popped up, a lot centered around Tim Maymon, the father <slow Kevin McAlister voice>.  Feeding into the current social environment of helicopter parenting this meme took off.  Tim Maymon is often accused of pulling evil strings in the background of MU to this day   |   12/14/09   |   A lot of posters   |   http://www.muscoop.com/index.php?action=search2;params=YWR2YW5jZWR8J3wxfCJ8YnJkfCd8MiwzLDksNCw2fCJ8c2hvd19jb21wbGV0ZXwnfHwifHN1YmplY3Rfb25seXwnfHwifHNvcnRfZGlyfCd8YXNjfCJ8c29ydHwnfElEX01TR3wifHNlYXJjaHwnfHRpbSBtYXltb24=;start=270   |   +|   Maymon’s dad   |   Jeronne Maymon was a very sought after player in 2008 and was then HC Buzz William's first major get.  At the announcement of his school choice, Jeronne managed to get upstaged by his flamboyant father.  Later, 10 games into the 08-09 campaign, Jeronne up and quit on MU.  Not long after rumors and speculation popped up, a lot centered around Tim Maymon, the father <slow Kevin McAlister voice>.  Feeding into the current social environment of helicopter parenting this meme took off.  Tim Maymon is often accused of pulling evil strings in the background of MU to this day   |   12/14/09   |   A lot of posters   |   [[http://www.muscoop.com/index.php?action=search2;params=YWR2YW5jZWR8J3wxfCJ8YnJkfCd8MiwzLDksNCw2fCJ8c2hvd19jb21wbGV0ZXwnfHwifHN1YmplY3Rfb25seXwnfHwifHNvcnRfZGlyfCd8YXNjfCJ8c29ydHwnfElEX01TR3wifHNlYXJjaHwnfHRpbSBtYXltb24=;start=270|Click Here to run search]]   |   
 |   Available a week later   |   This meme arose in the dark days between Crean's expectedly unexpected departure from MU and immediately following Buzz Williams being hired as HC.  There were those who were comfortable with MU's choice and those who thought it was a terrible idea.  Those in the terrible camp decried the process as well as the outcome.  Chicos was part of the concerned camp, but his big point that became repeated ad nauseam was that Buzz William's was a available a week later and MU could have hired him at their leisure once other candidates were exhausted.  Not sure about that, but I am sure it became a recurring meme on Scoop   |   4/9/08   |   ChicosBailBonds   |   http://www.muscoop.com/index.php?topic=8545.25   |    |   Available a week later   |   This meme arose in the dark days between Crean's expectedly unexpected departure from MU and immediately following Buzz Williams being hired as HC.  There were those who were comfortable with MU's choice and those who thought it was a terrible idea.  Those in the terrible camp decried the process as well as the outcome.  Chicos was part of the concerned camp, but his big point that became repeated ad nauseam was that Buzz William's was a available a week later and MU could have hired him at their leisure once other candidates were exhausted.  Not sure about that, but I am sure it became a recurring meme on Scoop   |   4/9/08   |   ChicosBailBonds   |   http://www.muscoop.com/index.php?topic=8545.25   |   
 |   Sharpie   |   A variant of the done deal tag, which referred to what another media member said about the rumored Smart to MU contract.  It didn't have nearly the legs of the done deal meme.  Also a meme used by Seth Davis on twitter when he decides a game has reached it's foregone conclusion   |   3/24/14   |   Tom Pippins   |   http://www.muscoop.com/index.php?topic=43037.0   |    |   Sharpie   |   A variant of the done deal tag, which referred to what another media member said about the rumored Smart to MU contract.  It didn't have nearly the legs of the done deal meme.  Also a meme used by Seth Davis on twitter when he decides a game has reached it's foregone conclusion   |   3/24/14   |   Tom Pippins   |   http://www.muscoop.com/index.php?topic=43037.0   |

 |   Automatic   |   This meme started as a bro chant from the broiest part of the student section every time Davante Gardner was at the free throw line.  Immediately, it drew ire and disdain from the MUScoop faithful (see anything the current students do), prompting vigorous debate.  Eventually Davante Gardner himself voiced a favorable opinion of the chant, swinging the board 70/30 in favor and saving lead bros from more internet Scoop scorn.   |   1/24/12   |   PTM   |   http://www.muscoop.com/index.php?topic=30012.0   |    |   Automatic   |   This meme started as a bro chant from the broiest part of the student section every time Davante Gardner was at the free throw line.  Immediately, it drew ire and disdain from the MUScoop faithful (see anything the current students do), prompting vigorous debate.  Eventually Davante Gardner himself voiced a favorable opinion of the chant, swinging the board 70/30 in favor and saving lead bros from more internet Scoop scorn.   |   1/24/12   |   PTM   |   http://www.muscoop.com/index.php?topic=30012.0   |   
 |   Gold vests   |   Before the gold vest became a hipster/young MU alumni ironic statement at games, gold vests were worn at MU games by the elder alumni and the term on Scoop was used to generally disparage the seemingly out dated mode of thought.  Similar to referring to the "geezers" chasing kids off lawns and some such non-sense.  Lastly there seemed to be some bitterness towards to older alumni sitting in the nice seats at the BC   |   11/30/06   |   HoopDreams   |   http://www.muscoop.com/index.php?topic=568.msg3804#msg3804   |    |   Gold vests   |   Before the gold vest became a hipster/young MU alumni ironic statement at games, gold vests were worn at MU games by the elder alumni and the term on Scoop was used to generally disparage the seemingly out dated mode of thought.  Similar to referring to the "geezers" chasing kids off lawns and some such non-sense.  Lastly there seemed to be some bitterness towards to older alumni sitting in the nice seats at the BC   |   11/30/06   |   HoopDreams   |   http://www.muscoop.com/index.php?topic=568.msg3804#msg3804   |   
-|   Bricky   |   Remember the 3 days when MU was the Gold and the world ended?  Yeah, one of the outcomes of that travashamockery was the mocking creation of the new MU mascot: Bricky the walking gold brick(think Towelie from South Park).  Bricky reemerges from time to time to taunt the Scoop crowd   |   pre-Scoop   |   unknown   |   http://www.muscoop.com/index.php?topic=287.0   |   +|   Bricky   |   Remember the 3 days when MU was the Gold and the world ended?  Yeah, one of the outcomes of that travashamockery was the mocking creation of the new MU mascot: Bricky the walking gold brick(think Towelie from South Park).  Bricky reemerges from time to time to taunt the Scoop crowd   |   pre-Scoop   |   MU Chi_IL  |   http://www.muscoop.com/index.php?topic=287.0   |   
 |   Soft bubble   |   This meme has multiple fathers.  The term seemed to surface two years earlier as part of a legitimate tournament discussion but had no significant traction as a term or for ridicule.  However, when you insert the term during a tourney debate after we have transitioned from TC to Buzz as head coach, you now have meme gold Jerry!  Chicos referred to the soft bubble as why MU would get into the tourney.  Others who(some automatically) took offense to this as some sort of insult to the great Bazz Williams, decried the soft bubble as a great fiction.  Then others just giggled about the term soft bubble.  No matter who or how it started, it is now a strong member of the Scoop lexicon and meme community.   |   2/14/10   |   dwaderoy2004   |   http://www.muscoop.com/index.php?topic=18402.0   |    |   Soft bubble   |   This meme has multiple fathers.  The term seemed to surface two years earlier as part of a legitimate tournament discussion but had no significant traction as a term or for ridicule.  However, when you insert the term during a tourney debate after we have transitioned from TC to Buzz as head coach, you now have meme gold Jerry!  Chicos referred to the soft bubble as why MU would get into the tourney.  Others who(some automatically) took offense to this as some sort of insult to the great Bazz Williams, decried the soft bubble as a great fiction.  Then others just giggled about the term soft bubble.  No matter who or how it started, it is now a strong member of the Scoop lexicon and meme community.   |   2/14/10   |   dwaderoy2004   |   http://www.muscoop.com/index.php?topic=18402.0   |   
 |   MU football   |   Apparently Marquette use to have a football team, and they were pretty terrible near the end of their reign.  Much like the Warriors nickname, the long dead football program is held up as an example of the administration's incompetence and as a hope that some day they might spend millions of dollars to create a weak division III program.  And so MU football has become an occasional meme on Scoop....mostly in the summer   |   Pre-Scoop   |   Anyone born before 1960   |   http://wiki.muscoop.com/doku.php/men_s_football/start   |    |   MU football   |   Apparently Marquette use to have a football team, and they were pretty terrible near the end of their reign.  Much like the Warriors nickname, the long dead football program is held up as an example of the administration's incompetence and as a hope that some day they might spend millions of dollars to create a weak division III program.  And so MU football has become an occasional meme on Scoop....mostly in the summer   |   Pre-Scoop   |   Anyone born before 1960   |   http://wiki.muscoop.com/doku.php/men_s_football/start   |   
-|   Beer summit   |   This was an outgrowth of the Chicos/Hoopaloop controversy with a dash of current events thrown in.  In politics, there was some dust up between a cop and a university professor that nobody remembers but POTUS decided to host a "beer" summit between the two parties....they even announced what beer each was going to have...yeah it's as stupid as it sounds, but that's not the point.  Shortly after was the whole Chicos/Hoopaloop blow up and someone suggested a beer summit in California to resolve the drama.  It was funny at the time, and occasionally makes it way into other threads where there might be some conflict.   |   4/10/12   |   Hoopaloop   |   Seems to be deleted   |   +|   Beer summit   |   This was an outgrowth of the Chicos/Hoopaloop controversy with a dash of current events thrown in.  In politics, there was some dust up between a cop and a university professor that nobody remembers but POTUS decided to host a "beer" summit between the two parties....they even announced what beer each was going to have...yeah it's as stupid as it sounds, but that's not the point.  Shortly after was the whole Chicos/Hoopaloop blow up and someone suggested a beer summit in California to resolve the drama.  It was funny at the time, and occasionally makes it way into other threads where there might be some conflict.   |   4/10/12   |   Warthog-Driver   |   Seems to be deleted   |   
 |   Vatican Smoke   |   This meme came into popularity during the Buzz Williams escape to the backwoods of Virginia drama.  Playing off the smoke seen when selecting a pope, pictures started popping up in threads every time a "source" declared this or that.  It likely gained traction as it was one of the first picture memes in Scoop, plus MU is like Catholic or something.  Many posters contributed to the growth of the meme so I'm sure Bleuteaux wasn't the first, but his was the first I could find and ultimately I'm lazy so....all hail meme creator Bleuteaux.   |   3/24/14   |   Bleuteaux   |   http://www.muscoop.com/index.php?topic=43025.0   |    |   Vatican Smoke   |   This meme came into popularity during the Buzz Williams escape to the backwoods of Virginia drama.  Playing off the smoke seen when selecting a pope, pictures started popping up in threads every time a "source" declared this or that.  It likely gained traction as it was one of the first picture memes in Scoop, plus MU is like Catholic or something.  Many posters contributed to the growth of the meme so I'm sure Bleuteaux wasn't the first, but his was the first I could find and ultimately I'm lazy so....all hail meme creator Bleuteaux.   |   3/24/14   |   Bleuteaux   |   http://www.muscoop.com/index.php?topic=43025.0   |   
 |   36-0 (UWM)    |   One of my personal favorite memes, this one celebrates the complete dominance of crosstown "rival" UW-Milwaukee by Marquette basketball.  Marquette has never lost to UWM with a 36-0 record, which is something a lot of people like to hold over the UWM heads....especially when they get lippy making the tournament once every 7 years.  In the mid-2000s UWM made a lot of noise of restarting the "rivalry" which eventually happened for 3 games, not shockingly, all MU victories.   |   11/21/08   |   JSwarriors08   |   http://www.muscoop.com/index.php?topic=10540.0   |    |   36-0 (UWM)    |   One of my personal favorite memes, this one celebrates the complete dominance of crosstown "rival" UW-Milwaukee by Marquette basketball.  Marquette has never lost to UWM with a 36-0 record, which is something a lot of people like to hold over the UWM heads....especially when they get lippy making the tournament once every 7 years.  In the mid-2000s UWM made a lot of noise of restarting the "rivalry" which eventually happened for 3 games, not shockingly, all MU victories.   |   11/21/08   |   JSwarriors08   |   http://www.muscoop.com/index.php?topic=10540.0   |   
-|   Thanks for everything Bazz   |   A play off the Wisconsin favorite dismissal of Brett Favre and Bret Beliama (We won't forget you Bart, We won't forget you Bert).  This popped up in the wake of Buzz Williams departure in conjunction with a somewhat unflattering picture.  This meme even trended on twitter for a short time   |   3/24/14   |   Benny B   |   http://www.muscoop.com/index.php?topic=42991.msg594400#msg594400   |   +|   We'll never forget you, Bazz   |   A play off the Wisconsin favorite dismissal of Brett Favre and Bret Beliama (We won't forget you Bart, We won't forget you Bert).  This popped up in the wake of Buzz Williams departure in conjunction with a somewhat unflattering picture.  This meme even trended on twitter for a short time   |   3/24/14   |   Benny B   |   http://www.muscoop.com/index.php?topic=42991.msg594400#msg594400   |   
 |   Catholic 7   |   Gather around kids, once upon a time there were things such as conferences where rivalry and loyalty mattered, but then came the concept of conference realignment(also known as the giant money grab).  In 2012, the conference realignment forced by football money impacted Marquette with the disbandment of the Big East as it was at the time(Syracuse, Pitt and Louisville leaving), forcing some decisions to be made.  As the initial dust started to settle, it became apparent that one path to survival was to form a basketball only league with the 7 basketball only schools remaining in the Big East.  These 7 schools also happened to be private Catholic schools.  So Catholic 7 became a meme when referring to this core group sailing the basketball ship on the conference realignment sea.   |   12/4/12   |   Aughnanure   |   http://www.muscoop.com/index.php?topic=34636.msg424654#msg424654   |    |   Catholic 7   |   Gather around kids, once upon a time there were things such as conferences where rivalry and loyalty mattered, but then came the concept of conference realignment(also known as the giant money grab).  In 2012, the conference realignment forced by football money impacted Marquette with the disbandment of the Big East as it was at the time(Syracuse, Pitt and Louisville leaving), forcing some decisions to be made.  As the initial dust started to settle, it became apparent that one path to survival was to form a basketball only league with the 7 basketball only schools remaining in the Big East.  These 7 schools also happened to be private Catholic schools.  So Catholic 7 became a meme when referring to this core group sailing the basketball ship on the conference realignment sea.   |   12/4/12   |   Aughnanure   |   http://www.muscoop.com/index.php?topic=34636.msg424654#msg424654   |   
 |   Hiroshima   |   A meme born of a discussion around changing standards for Marquette basketball.  During the Williams vs. Williams era, people with "sources" indicated that there were major changes coming and if people found out about them the board would be Hiroshima.  To date, Hiroshima was never sighted but that only fed the meme making it one of the strongest in Scoop history   |   4/17/12   |   Ners   |   http://www.muscoop.com/index.php?topic=32238.msg385784#msg385784   |    |   Hiroshima   |   A meme born of a discussion around changing standards for Marquette basketball.  During the Williams vs. Williams era, people with "sources" indicated that there were major changes coming and if people found out about them the board would be Hiroshima.  To date, Hiroshima was never sighted but that only fed the meme making it one of the strongest in Scoop history   |   4/17/12   |   Ners   |   http://www.muscoop.com/index.php?topic=32238.msg385784#msg385784   |

 |   Website construction   |   A classic summer Scoop meme.  After the Big East launched in it's new brand and new organization, there appeared to some, to be a lack of activity around making the league visible on the web.  This included the lack of a website.  This sparked a huge debate(by summer standards) of what exactly the commissioner should or should not be doing about website script writing and if furniture was a priority.  It's as much fun as it sounds.   |   7/31/13   |   A lot of posters   |   http://www.muscoop.com/index.php?topic=39362.0   |    |   Website construction   |   A classic summer Scoop meme.  After the Big East launched in it's new brand and new organization, there appeared to some, to be a lack of activity around making the league visible on the web.  This included the lack of a website.  This sparked a huge debate(by summer standards) of what exactly the commissioner should or should not be doing about website script writing and if furniture was a priority.  It's as much fun as it sounds.   |   7/31/13   |   A lot of posters   |   http://www.muscoop.com/index.php?topic=39362.0   |
