Jim Harbaugh GIF Tournament 2016: Elite Eight Comment Count

Ace

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?

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?

I've voted.

But let it be known that I'm doing so in public protest because this idiot virtual family of ours didn't reward Harbaugh's Huddle with the votes it deserved last round.

We've become a loony board full of Las Vegas trips, WD -/+ votes, shitty hip-hop release posbangs, and Rutgers intrigue. I just don't know what has become of us. Just give a little looksee over at MGoBoard right now. This is why Santa doesn't deliver solid Christmas presents anymore. Because we don't deserve them.

I've felt since the beginning of the gif-off that most were voting behind what moment or significance in time the gif captured and not the quality of the gif itself at its surface. I made sure the gif I voted for was one that could stand on its own and not dependent on a back story. But I agree with a poster above, once camp starts, once the season starts, things will get back to normal. OT season is sometimes rougher than we remember it was last year...

I love this beautiful offseason GIF voting action. We need another bracket after this one to keep me from drowning in OTs. How about a hype vid bracket next?

I'm either a contrarian or just have very different taste from the majority of the mgocommunity. Many of my favorites went downn last round, and when Grinch beats Spring Game Grin, I'll shed another tear.

I am stunned it's losing. Our football coach knows football so well he is pulling on the belt of his pants which as we all know helps recover from getting he wind knocked out of you. The fact that our head coach knows this better than the training staff ..... you don't get more Harbaugh than this.

EUTM.

Also, good shit Jed and Spring Game smile should be in the finals. Hell with this. Now that I think about about it, all voting should be nullified a la General Fulgencio Batista and Dr Harbaugh should be in the finals with Spring Game.

while I like goofy Harbaugh gifs as much as the next person this is a riduculous wates of front page space.  I appreciate your hard work Ace but really?  half a dozen front page articles rehashing these same gifs all the way down to a final matchup?  These aren't actual interesting games you know.

While it's cute we have a lot of gifs after 1 year of Harbaugh, this series makes Draftaggedon look like a Citris-bowl-UFR.

...very much in the minority.

It's the offseason. I also just wrapped up writing ~15,000 words of opponent previews for HTTV over the last few weeks. I'm not going to apologize for coming up with a series of posts that don't require me to write too much, especially when the response has been overwhelmingly positive. There are plenty of other posts to read—for free!—if you don't like these.

The purely visceral nature of that event carries the day.  It was almost like the scene from Alien with the creature bursting out of the poor dude. It was awesome watching it and keeps getting better.

Blows my mind that some posters gripe about the content that gets posted here - especially during a long offseason that feels like we've barely made a dent into. This is a nice addition that most people clearly enjoy - just look at the numbers of voters. Fall will be here in no time. Just enjoy the wave. 2016-2017 is going to be a special season

I love the spring game grin. It was the moment I knew HARBAUGH was in it for the long haul. No short stint at Michigan/jump back to the NFL. Also, plhahahahahaha will be tough to beat.

I would have voted with the consenus...  however at this point, I felt that I wanted to choose the best four that encapuslated all that is Harbaugh for that reason I ended up going against the grain on the last two....

Late to the party, but the battle of the grins was at 2000-2001 for the spring game grin which is what i voted for. 

Also how is punt demo winning by so much. That should at least be a closer race. 

Haha, this tourney is awesome.

That needs to be the overall winner.  Just for purpose and meaning alone.  The first time all of us crazy Michigan fans got to see our dream coach come out there and coach his team, the sheer fact how happy he looks, and like someone else said just seems to say "I'm home".
