(1) Michigan surrender Cobra vs. (2) Beamers 0-0 celebration

(1) Michigan Surrender Cobra: The No. 1 seed rolled into the championship matchup, winning all three previous rounds by a comfortable margin. It was a similar story in the Final Four when the Michigan Surrender crushed Cobra Annoyed LSU Girl with 61.2% of the vote to continue.

The devastated reaction matched the insane moment: Michigan State recovered a fumbled punt snap in 2015 and returned it for a shocking, game-winning touchdown in the big house (mention the legendary Sean McDonough call). Alongside Annoyed LSU Girl, the Michigan Surrender Cobra beat Eminem’s odd trip to the dressing room during the 2013 Notre Dame-Michigan game and Creepy Tennessee Starer along the way.

(2) Frank Beamer’s 0-0 celebration: Hugh Freeze’s Hospital Bed Wave – the Cinderella of this year’s field – finally saw its run come to an end. No. 5 seed fell to No. 2 seed Frank Beamer 0-0 Celebration in a tough loss. Beamer’s meme garnered more than 62.4% of the votes after surviving a tough battle against Bobby Petrino’s Neck Brace a round earlier. Now the No. 2 is heading for the championship.

Former Virginia Tech coach Frank Beamer was known for his physical defense and comfortable play in unorthodox games. When cameras caught him celebrating the end of a goalless rule against Wake Forest, it was a high point for Beamer (and ACC football). Beamer defeated the famous picture of Derrick Henry towering over Mark Ingram in the first round before defeating Bobby Petrino’s Neck Brace and Hugh Freeze’s Hospital Bed to win the region.
