Thursday, we move on to the MORTIFIED MICHIGAN PUNTER region of the bracket, so named for our beloved hero from the first GIF TOURNAMENT. There are eight match-ups on the docket today, which will be posted as the day goes on. I’ll be adding links to this page as they go up. Or, if you’d prefer, you can follow me at @jon_bois, where I’ll be tweeting them out.

Day 1 was loads of fun (if you missed it, you can see the GIFs and results here.) Day 2, now that I look at it, appears to be an even stronger field. Have fun, y’all.
