Jim Harbaugh GIF Tournament 2016: The Championship
Thirty GIFs down, one to go.
We've eliminated some bona-fide contenders, including all four one-seeds. For the second straight round, a vote came down to the final minutes. Without further ado, your Final Four results:
#2 Spring Game Grin: 2,299 (65%)
#3 Pfffffffhahahaha: 1,238 (35%)
#3 WELL OKAY: 1,751 (50%)
#2 Punt Demo: 1,766 (50%)
It all comes down to this.
THE CHAMPIONSHIP
(2) Spring Game Grin vs. (2) Punt Demo
Def. Fist Pump 76% to 24% in the first round.
Def. "You're Really Good" 70% to 30% in the Sweet Sixteen.
Def. Harbaugh As Grinch 50% to 50% (14-vote margin) in the Elite Eight.
Def. Pfffffffhahahaha 65% to 35% in the Final Four.
The sentimental favorite. In addition to capturing the moment returning to Michigan seemingly sunk in for Harbaugh, this is an ideal reaction GIF.
Def. What's The Call 86% to 14% in the first round.
Def. Harbaugh's Huddle 65% to 35% in the Sweet Sixteen.
Def. Dr. Harbaugh 70% to 30% in the Elite Eight.
Def. WELL OKAY 50% to 50% (15-vote margin) in the Final Four.
You can tell by the hat's uncertain perch on Harbaugh's head that he's already mid-freakout when this GIF begins. All eyes are on Harbaugh as everyone expects something spectacular; to say the least, he delivers. As a bonus, this GIF is eminently photoshoppable.
Voting will run through the weekend. The champion will be crowned on Monday afternoon.
Spring game grin is gonna roll
Any day now. Recruiting violations, cream cheese on bagels. . . we'll find something.
And MGoBlog will do nothing, because they're in cahoots with Spring Game Grin.
As they should be.
No politics---oh wait nvm carry on
#NEVERPUNT
#GrinchOrBust
Coming from the SGG lobbyist? Oh what a tangled web we weave...
I still don't see how punt demo is still in this. Complete cindarella story. This is like a 1 seed against a 16 seed.
I cannot believe that Punt Demo beat Well Okay. That is a travesty. This champsionship game is just a formality now.
...game is just a formality now.
There are lots of Harbaugh freakout gifs. But only one in which he also demonstrates rugby punt technique.
but the Rugby style punt demonstration is bitter sweet because of that thing that happened.

I stil say "RAGE STRIPPING" would have won it all, if only the superdelegates hadn't chosen "PUNT DEMO" beforehand....it was RIGGED, I tell ya!!!
Take away the Michigan garb and you could almost swear that's John in the punt demo gif.
Which makes sense.
Because they're brothers.
The punt gif would win had Coach Harbaugh ripped the official's head off and then punted it into the stands.

"Remember the Grinch!" will be a gif rallying call to arms for generations. Never forget.
I believe it was inspired by the goat dance.
holy shit you made this tedious.
Punt GIF is probably a better GIF, but I have a far stronger emotional response to the spring game grin. The first time I saw it, it finally sank in that Harbaugh was our coach and all was right in the world again. Go Blue!
Spring game grin is all the feels.
No Grinch Gif...worst off-season ever. Bah Humbug
Am I the only one that feels like the correct GIFs made the final?

Punt demo is the better gif, no doubt about it. But Spring Game Grin is the gif that is more indicative of 2015 Harbaugh and the collective Michigan fan experience of 2015 (and Harbaugh). There's a loss of anger and frustration, a collective realization that all will be right, that the ridiculousness of the last 10(-15 depending on your point of view) years is over.
Oh Captain My Captain!
Also, I voted for punt demo, expecting it to lose.
I wonder who wins this if there is no Spring Game Grin.
That .gif is too sentimental for all of us. It's when "IT'S HAPPENING" became "IT HAPPENED."
Still Team Grinch, but voted for Spring Game Grin.
I feeeeeeel you bro. I long for those Grinchy Days
I had fun looking at all these GIFs along the way. My favorite will always be anytime Harbaugh pulls his cap over his eyes out of frustration.

It's gotta be spring game grin. I just think it absolutely nailed what everybody hoped Jim's feelings would be coming back to Michigan. It's such a natural reaction. It was the ultimate culmination of everything we've been through watching Michigan football since Carr left and the feeling that we finally had something to be happy about. It's also just so Harbaugh. Maybe that's reading too much into it, but seeing that GIF makes me pretty damn pumped about what is in store for our favorite football team.
Not voting is voting.
Snow Crabs got shafted. I know it was edited but that reaction was good money

Pfffffffhahahaha was my favorite. Perfect blend of What The Hell Are You Calling, Ref? and joy because FOOTBALL.
I agree with you, but punt demo is a good candidate as well. It's just SO harbaugh. He knows the rules better than the refs because he put more time into studying them.
I think people are voting for the Spring Game Grin just because they liked seeing Harbaugh as our coach on the field for the first time, not because it is a good GIF. In terms of actual GIF quality, it's honestly a pretty crappy GIF.
If you showed it to a non-Michigan football fanatic, their reaction would be "Huh? Why is that even a GIF?"
Haven't actually seen all the gifs and this is my first vote in the contest but the Spring Game Grin really captures the essence of Harbaugh being a high functioning maniac. Luckily he's our high functioning maniac.
I mean the punt demo gif is pretty awesome also and well deserving of its place in the championship game but SGG just captures our collective optimism about the state of the program and the fact that it is in good hands.
Don't think anyone can go wrong with either choice but personally SGG edged it out for me by a hair.
