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 also like the idea of a "dead" posters Big Dance. A Thomas Fremont vs Dennis DeYoung or Coker vs Meek would be good showdowns.
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.
It'd come down to Jordan Reffett vs Nick Cody but it would still be a fun process.
That said, it seems there's plenty of other good territory to mine for tournaments.
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.
A Doog like me changes his mind every other day. I probably won't know who I prefer until a gun is placed against my head. I can help seed if you want input.
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
No idea really. But brackets are key. 80-90s is just a murderers row.
