Exactly. I was thinking the same thing. The Harwell Johny Mac competition comes to mind. To me Johnny Mac was cool. I respect the hell out of Harwell though. I don't think there should be a collective definition of 'cool', but to each his own.Quote:

Now that might be a lil dramatic, but cool is the mind of the beholder, I think.
So Dr J was the only upset and a mild one at that. Props to the seed peeps.
Hermy still uses that definition.Quote:

Wow, I wish Paul Newman could have been in the Misc bracket. He is also a race car driver/owner. He's not one dimensional.
This should come down to EK vs JFK.
Misc bracket is made up of peeps that I don't know much about or care about. I mean do I actually come across like someone who has read poetry? Hope not. :)
You bugle blowers knock yourself out on these cultural dudes.
Thats a fuckin joke, whether its funny or not, its meant as a joke.
Even though I'm not crazy bout this bracket, props to the peeps who put it together.
I'm gonna let the above post go because it's Tahoe. But seriously, if you haven't read poetry, go out and get some.
Start with The Raven by Poe.
Thank you, Sir.Quote:

If we do this again, we should probably have a "Campaign Period" before the voting opens in each match. I'd be interested in seeing how the results might change after everyones arguments are presented. Maybe we could even do it for the second round.
We were supposed to do that with this tournament. We were supposed to submit evidence, testimony, puctures, whatever. The you vote, and then hopefully some of the alleged 600 members check in and vote, and some of the evening lurkers.
As usual, people read a message board and jerk their pud instead of contributing.
That's probably my fault, I didn't make that clear enough.Quote:

We thought about not opening the voting until some time had passed, but it becomes a bit difficult to manage and we may miss people who wanted to vote when they logged on but weren't able to.
We start the Sweet 16 in the morning.
Still time to vote on the open ones.
That's right, kiddies.
We settle the Sweet 16 in the a.m. and then we move to the Great Eight.
Another few months and we should have a winner.

I'm taking an awful lot of personal responsibility around here lately.
Are you?
I blame cup chicks...
For some reason, things only went awry in the "music" category.Quote:
#1 Kennedy vs. #2 Clinton
#1 Ali vs. #2 Jordan
#1 McQueen vs. #2 Pacino
#5 Hendrix vs. #3 Sinatra
Ali might be unstoppable
The only Leon Spinks in the crowd might be JFK
Fuck, I've actually been working today and forgot to close these great 8's off this morning.
Looks like it's tomorrow morning, instead.
Final four voting ends Thursday morning, then onto the finals.
I was thinking Yule Brenner was a pretty cool cat. He should have been in the discusion if he wasn't.
Let it be writen. Let it be done.
How did Blaha not only not win this, but miss the field altogther?
This is the shame of my life.
Time for a recount!:
