2023 Offseason Circle Jerk Ideas & Discussion Thread

My first thought was a shit pole to gauge interest but I honestly wasn't sure what to input. We could just run back the original format and rank posters based on how much we like them or enjoy their posts. Always fun, and plenty has changed since 2019. I would for sure change the profiles of each of the brackets, we wouldn't group HHB OGs together or millennials, for example. It would be randomized if I can't find categories I'm happy with. Also, we could easily have a dead posters bracket too, some huge hitters haven't been around in a while and this could be fun to reminisce or even guilt them into coming back. No time like the present.

Other ideas I had:

- Tourney of our favorite plays of the 2022 season (Penix to Taj in Autzen is a 1 seed for sure). We could quite easily find 64 high-impact plays. It could also help grow the site as people tweet this shit out and others are encouraged to register and vote/engage.
- P5 Program Rankings outside of UW. I wouldn't do all-time greatness as the analytics do a lot of that for us, but something along these lines. Or maybe likability rankings. People always have random teams outside their immediate fandom they like/dislike for some reason. I've always liked Wisconsin, for example. Can't explain it.
- All time UW seasons?
- All time UW plays?
- All time PLSS rants (LOL)? Are all of them archived anywhere?

Or maybe no one gives a shit anymore. Sounds like I care. Or something.

    I like the dead posters idea. Tourney of the Dead. Also, how about a favorite UW player of all tim contest? Really unearth those Locker lovers, and see once and for all if Tui or Emptermann is the GOAT. Make sure Ruperake is a 16 seed.

    edit: I am voting Gaskin or Gaines, or maybe Nip/Nap, or maybe someone else. This would be fun. How about Tripplet? Maybe Bailey? Or Moon? Sixkiller (fuck off whitey)? Hugh Mclwhatsy? Billy Joe? Dillon? Olin the death machine? Benji? RW? Joe mother fucking Steele? This is just top of my head. I'll shut up now.

    Wow. No love for Center. What's wrong with you?

    I'll propose another pole category. Most embarrassing former Pac12 player/alum on social media.

    It'd come down to Jordan Reffett vs Nick Cody but it would still be a fun process.

    Joey Harrington vs Jason Gesser

    Just pick one and run with it. You'll do a great job, and the timing is just right for an entertaining circle jerk, with the hoops only dark period oncoming. *We will run out of things to shit post about over the coming weeks and months.

    Dead posters is intriguing, but are there enough for like a 32 team bracket? Does @puppylove_sugarsteel count as dead?

    I also like greatest UW players of all time, which interestingly enough has never been done here. The only tourneys we've had here are music, movies, TV, hottest actresses, and favorite poaster. Sure Tui and Stan would be odds on favorites but there would be lots of other intriguing match ups especially in the early rounds. @Gladstone could have everybody submit their nominations for top 10 and then seeds based off that input.

    My initial thoughts are that it would be hard to recapture the magic of the OG Circle Jerk Tournament. 2019 was such a speshial moment in time for the HH community.

    That said, it seems there's plenty of other good territory to mine for tournaments.

    Might as well not even play the polls then.

    The favorite player would be interesting because of the generations that post here. The 91 DAWGS would win best team but Empterman might not win favorite player. I might go Billy Joe

    Or I might go Sonny Sixkiller for the olds. Favorite isn't best. Its subjective

    Make sure George Wilson is in the poll. Saw him play

    You could bracket by era. Gil Dobie through the 50's. 60's-70s dawgs. 80-90s (tough bracket). 2000 +

    Or you could do some combo of Lineman, Back 7, Skill position, and QBs?

    We? could do a tournament of all the notable characters you've left out of other tournaments.

    I did?

    I'm not trying to be a dick, but I don't remember that. I might have cracked a joke and you took it serious. In any event, it sounds fine to me. Sally fucking forth

    Honestly, the reason I didn't bring up former UW players is because my knowledge of 90s and earlier teams is pretty lacking. I watched 91 tape as a little kid but as a fan I didn't really start getting dialed in until 2000, a very formative year for me. It was that Tui team that cemented my love of many things. I will probably start with a different subject, but I encourage some of the OGs here to run with that top players ever idea. For the record, my vote would be for Gaskin.

    That's what is interesting to me. The different generations here

    But I'm lazy er busy running a bidness

    I have to laugh at myself about this. I still have a hard time thinking of myself as an older guy, or even an adult half of the time. Yet somehow I've lately realized that, with my vague memory of some 80s players and games and my attendance at most home games from 90-93, I'm among the old men at this place.

    I agree with whomever suggested bracketing a favorite player tourney so that it's 80s and earlier, 90s, 00s, and 11-22. The 80s and earlier bracket is bound to get the short end though.

    @huskyhooligan is the go to guy at HH for this type of activity. I’ll defer to his judgement on the best location for the circle jerk.
    Just follow the trail of queso. I know what you like.

    I'm currently doing a YMCA tour of western washington. I'll be the one giving faggy winks during spin class wearing a husky starter jacket.
