PrintIn the vortex of large-scale athletic emptiness until football season begins again, we're passing the days here at Rock M Nation with Meme Madness, a 32-entry, bracket style blowout to determine the best theme/inside joke RMN has to offer. The full bracket can be found here.
Today, we feature the 3 v. 6 matchup in the Boulevard Regional.

I'm not sure there was a basketball player on this past Missouri team who more effectively endeared himself to the student section than Kim English, so it only seemed appropriate that Kimmie find his own meme niche in the RMN world. Kimmie was originally supposed to be "Mr. Courvousier," the "smoother" alternative to Matt "Grey Goose" Lawrence. But the name never caught on, opening the door for KIMMEH! to become one of RMN's most promising memes for the future. In the process of systematically destroying Marquette's hopes and dreams, English's hot shooting in Boise turned "Kimmie" into "KIMMEH!," a nod to the ever-popular Timmy from South Park. The meme is young, but as we saw during the NCAA Tournament, you never know what can happen when Kimmeh! gets hot. |
It may not be SIZZLING BACON ACTION, but the Missouri football team may have the most underrated touchdown celebration in America. Is it an elaborate team celebration, an individual dance, or a way to draw attention to individual success? Nope. It's a handshake. Why? Because when Mizzou gets in the endzone, it's just business, baby. The background behind the handshake was fully examined in a 2007 video loaded on YouTube, reiterating that Missouri players wanted to "act like we've been there before." As a result, the handshakes caught on around Rock M Nation, with Live Threads being littered with exclamations of "HANDSHAKES!!!" and images/GIFs of the meme after touchdowns. With Mizzou football in the midst of a big time transition going into the season, two questions about the Gabbert era remain:
If not, you can count on RMN to keep this celebration and this underrated meme going into the future.

I had to go handshakes...
Don’t get me wrong, I think KIMMEH can be a star down the road, but I want to see some sustained sucess and handshakes has been solid and under the radar now for 2 years.

Same here.
And I’m a huuuuuge South Park and Jimmy fan, which should equal to KIMMEH, but I think handshakes has more staying power. I still love the YouTube of T Rucker describing what the handshake means, and then obviously in the Live Threads, ghtb, Uribe, and jschool throw up a handshake picture/gif in disturbingly quick fashion (+1’s to all of them for having it at the starting line that early).
Then again, if Boy’s computer is ever nabbed, he’ll have to figure out an excuse for having Asian Kid on his desktop for quick access.
Random note: I've voted for every loser so far.
Last vote for a winner? Obama. Of course, on cue, my current state, Tennessee, carried for McCain.

Yep, I won a loser’s tourney. FML.

just, please, not the Raiders. . .
Will Jeremy Maclin be the choice to fill the WR void? (US Presswire)
The sleeper has awoken. . .awakened. . .he woke up.
Unfortunately, I would be shocked if he does NOT end up there...
only shot he has is if Crabtree does not get drafted by Cleveland or just plain before him, because Oakland seems almost assured of taking a WR. If he does not go there, he might start to slide a bit, especially as Jax is looking to ad/maybe already added Holt.

Holt only has another year, maybe two, in the league. Jax would be smart to get Maclin.
Next year’s WR crop looks weak compared to Crabtree, Maclin, and Smokey Harvin.
Remember, Jax cut Reggie Williams and Matt Jones. They have NOTHING.
Very true..have also seen a lot of places where
Jax may look to bail out of this pick to whoever wants to potentially grab a Dirty Sanchez….

Am I misrememberin' but didn't Jax just sign Garrard to a long term deal?
Garrard is a pretty good QB. I know nothing is guaranteed in the NFL, but it seems like he’s got a handful of good years left.
I thought I saw the Sanchez-Jax connection online as well. Just doesn’t make sense to me, especially if you’re tying Garrard’s hands by having nobody at wideout.
I dont think I ever saw Jax taking Sanchez
but I have heard a lot of people talking about teams trading up with Jax so they (the other team) can take Sanchez since most believe he should be there

It wasn't on ESPN. Was an indy site like nfldraft.net or something.
ESPN now says Sanchez could go to the Seahawks OR Jax will trade out if Sanchez is available.
Jax needs WR in the worst way...
I’d take Maclin if I were them…regardless of Holt.

This is yet another surprising race to me.
I thought it’d be a good fight originally, then I saw the way basketball nicknames (Laffy Saffy???) were dominating the competition and figured Kimmeh! would continue the basketball beatdowns.
Further proof you can’t paint RMN into one corner.
handshakes 100%
Kimmeh really didn’t even exist until a month ago. Handshakes is a classic.

I voted for Kimmeh...
I just love that guy so much. The meme will be huge the next few season’s
