PLAYOFF DROUGHT
PLAYOFF DROUGHT
2020 Inductee
As of this writing (August 2021) Thumper has been around for eight years. It has seen 15 different members and 14 of those have made the playoffs at least once. Bruce is the only person mediocre enough to never make the playoffs. Middle of the road? Not even close lol. Maybe this is the year. Ninth time is the charm am I right?
*Congrats Bruce on finally making the playoffs in year nine.
JOHN SPENDS $85 FAAB ON DEZ BRYANT ONE DAY BEFORE SEASON ENDING INJURY
2020 Inductee
The 2018 season was the first season we used FAAB. Most teams were stingy with their FAAB dollars that season, saving their loads for the push at the end of the year. Late in the season Dez Bryant decided to make a come back, signing with the New Orleans Saints. The FAAB race was on. John came out the big winner with a bid of $85... but that wouldn't last long. Dez Bryant was helped off the field with a torn achilles in his first practice with the team, and John's $85 was immediately a waste of money.
RUSTY DRAFTS DERRIUS GUICE THE DAY AFTER GUICE TEARS HIS ACL
2019 Inductee
On August 9th, 2018 Derrius Guice went down on the field in his first NFL preseason game. On August 10th he was diagnosed with a torn ACL. On August 11th Rusty drafted Guice with his 10th round pick. As he was walking away from the podium he was astonished that no one else had noticed how far Guice had dropped in the draft. Luckily that pride was gone nearly immediately as we all let him know of the season ending injury.
AUSTIN'S 9 MINUTE
TJ YELDON PICK
TJ YELDON PICK
2018 Inductee
Do we even need a description for this one? At the 2016 draft Austin failed to make his 6th round pick in the allotted 3 minutes. His pick was skipped and he had to wait on the next person to make their pick. He was given another 3 minutes and failed to pick again. Finally, on the third try he choked and picked TJ Yeldon who never played a game for him that season.
KEVIN'S WRINKLED SHIRT
2018 Inductee
On Saturday, September 10, 2016, two tragedies occurred in Stillwater, OK: Number 11 Oklahoma State was upset by Central Michigan 30-27 and Kevin Bright decided to wear the most wrinkled shirt of all time. One of these things will never be forgotten and it's not the football game. A few little jokes on Kevin's Facebook photo set Kevin off like no one has ever seen. This picture will be embroiled not only in our memories, but also in the Hall of Fame for the rest of our lives.

FROM #DRAFTGATE
TO SNAPCHAT MELTDOWN
2018 Inductee
It all started at the 2015 Draft. Instead of blaming himself for his awful draft, he blamed the commissioner for allowing pick trading. He never missed a chance to bring this up for two long seasons. It was so annoying that it led to his own division voting him out. We thought we had finally gotten rid of him when one random day he was invited into our Snapchat group where he would write an entire novel about how terrible each one of us treated him. Rumor has it he is still out there, kidnapping kids and hating each one of us.
