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 all of these ideas. Just don't set me up again where you had me entering a second round matchup against @GrundleStiltzkin.
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. -
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. -
I think and I care. I’m ready to take the gloves off.

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. -

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.
