We have reached the Elite Eight of the first annual Jim Harbaugh GIF Tournament. The decisions, as you'd expect, are only getting more difficult.
Which insane Harbaugh grin do you like more? Is the genesis of the term "rage stripping" more worthy of advancing than perhaps the most purely Harbaugh moment of the year? Are we finally going to see a one-seed go down? Those questions and more will be answered in this here post by you, beloved readers. Godspeed.
THE GOOD TIMES
The Sweet Sixteen results:
#1 Harbaugh As Grinch: 1,542 (81%)
#4 Harbuagh/Drevno Awkward Celebration: 369 (19%)
#2 Spring Game Grin: 1,269 (70%)
#3 "You're Really Good": 550 (30%)
We have ourselves a grin-off.
(1) Harbaugh As Grinch vs. (2) Spring Game Grin
Do you prefer nefarious Harbaugh?
Or content Harbaugh?
(These may be essentially the same thing.)
THE BAD TIMES
The Sweet Sixteen results:
#1 Rage Stripping: 1,326 (77%)
#4 Rage On The Run: 404 (23%)
#2 Slow-Motion Meltdown: 759 (44%)
#3 WELL OKAY: 971 (56%)
The toughest region features a minor upset to set up another near-impossible choice in the regional final.
(1) Rage Stripping vs. (3) WELL OKAY
Do you prefer Harbaugh in full "come at me, bro" form?
Or Harbaugh in, well...
After a Florida defender committed an obvious facemask on Amara Darboh, Harbaugh sprinted down the sideline screaming for a call, gesticulating the whole way.
You may note a brave player—by the arm sleeve, I believe it's Jabrill Peppers—tried to get Harbaugh's attention when he reached the offical. Harbaugh, too deep into rage mode to notice, proceeded to scream "HEY, THEN CALL IT. YOU CALLED IT? YOU CALLED IT? WELL, OKAY."
...full Harbaugh form?
HARBAUGH IN ACTION
The Sweet Sixteen results:
#1 Dr. Harbaugh: 1,009 (62%)
#5 Hype-Up Beating: 628 (38%)
#2 Punt Demo: 1,049 (65%)
#3 Harbaugh's Huddle: 566 (35%)
(1) Dr. Harbaugh vs. (2) Punt Demo
Do you prefer sophomoric physical humor?
Or other sophomoric physical humor?
MISCELLANEOUS HARBAUGH
The Sweet Sixteen results:
#1 Good Shit, Jedd: 848 (55%)
#4 Head Scratcher: 704 (45%)
#2 Snow Crabs?: 684 (42%)
#3 Pffffffhahahaha: 928 (58%)
"Good Shit, Jedd" continues to be on the shakiest ground of any one-seed because of the story vs. action dichotomy. Is this the round it goes down?
(1) Good Shit, Jedd vs. (3) Pffffffhahahaha
Do you prefer a great story?
Or a great face?
Voting will remain open until Tuesday, when we'll narrow this down to the Final Four.
