Tournament of Cool (nominations/history/general discussion)

[Glenn]

Probably the best thing to do would be to just start posting names from these lists that shouldn't make the field.

We'll start lopping them off until we get to 64 (16 in each reg)

[MoTown]

Glenn - I almost think you and Zip should be the committee and come up with a bracket based off of the nominations. It would add controversy (which would cause discussion and possibly humor), but it would also be a lot easier in the long run.

I believe Glenn's system is unfair and that I deserve a shot at this thing.

It does seem like this is going to get unwieldy.

Maybe you are right.

Why don't you send me your top 16 in each, too via PM.

Anybody else that wants to PM me top 16 lists can do so too.

We'll set the field on Monday.

The "Misc" category was a little light, so I've come up with these other nominees

Hunter S. Thompson
Jack Kerouac
Bob Ross
Andy Warhol
Kurt Vonnegut
Samuel Clemens (Mark Twain)
Alfred Hitchcock
Stephen King
Dr. Seuss
John F. Kennedy
William Shakespeare

I tried to come up with a cool Republican, but Reagan and Giuliani are as close as I could come.

[Tahoe]

Ben Stein?

[MoTown]

I would like to add one more nomination, if it's not too late - Nate Dogg.

[Glenn]

No Tournament of Cool Guys would be complete without a John Denver/Martina Navratilova play-in game.

[Glenn]

The field of 64 and schedule are now posted, as are the first round matchups in the Sports bracket for this week.

Thanks to MoTown, Zip, Vinny and MOLA1 for help with the field, and to anyone that posted nominations.

Should be a nerdy/fun time.

I just got an email from a representative for the Don Knotts camp.

They're not happy about the snub.
