Ladies... 
How do I know Will is nerd? He got 1138 votes.
@SW How do you know he’s a nerd? He entered a Hot Blogger Bracket as a number one seed.
Sorry to be losing Vanilla.
Sorry to be losing friend-of-the-Ladies 289.
SORRIER TO BE LOSING RED SOX STATS GUY. Democracy sucks.
Red Sox guy – I know I posted this on your blog already, but I am sorry that the Deadspin post pushed everything the other way.
Upside, you still have cute kid.
Yeah, he totally had this. I posit that Shanoff was threatened by you.
Thanks Holly.
Pete Holiday vs. McBain — was that the tightest finish or what?
We’re going to miss you too, Yostal.
So would this be a -157 for suss?
I wasted my whole evening staring at that darn poll screen, refreshing every 2-3 minutes, IMing everyone I know, and dreading that McBain was going to come up with votes at the last minute.
Productivity = 0.
I wasn’t the biggest loser! I’m mollified!
Pete – That is impressive.
McBain… that is the hardest one for me to say goodbye to. I hate the Flyers, but really, he runs a good site.
Really, all in all, I am sad anyone had to loose. And that is not just the v&t + wine talking.
We now join HG’s press conference live in progress… “well, seedings dont really mean anything..every team here believes they can win and CDB is a really talented team..we were fortunate to get out to a big lead in the first half and then just keep running our sets and eventually get the victory..but CDB, man they’re tough man.. they never stop playing, fighting..it was a great contest between two teams that wanted to play in the next round. I have nothing but good things to say about that team from Michigan.. I know we got some things to work on if we plan on sticking around but all in all I’m happy to be advancing and I am glad that…” Ok welcome back to the studio.. As you heard HG has the utmost respect for his opponent, but it’s gonna be interesting to see if he can build on this momentum moving forward. Your thoughts Jay?
Hmm… the word I had been tossing around was “pathetic”… but I’ll take “impressive”.
HG: I’m shocked that you didn’t throw in a post game “I just wanna thank God, because with out God none of us would be here.”
How did 289 go down?!?! I bought votes damit!
Well, it’s been really, ya’ll. Thought I had a real shot, but in retrospect, writing about a specific team or two probably brought me down.
@ mike white.. I did but they cut in after i said it
All we all need is a radio show and we’ll all stand a chance.
Thanks for the kind words. I had fun and finally had the motivation to finally kill Red Sox Stats Guy and roll out my new blog, The Hub.
Dan L.: If it’s any consolation, you have me very nervous for the last 48 hours. We’ve been pretty much 1:1 the whole time. Good round.
Whew. Who’s next?
VICTORY!
For what it’s worth, this is how the bracketology from the first round broke down.
tkk – ima call you lunardi
Heartbreaking loss, McBain. The UD student body should be ashamed of themselves.
So not only did I lose by the worst margin of anyone in this entire bracket, but nobody bit on my “Hack the Vote, Win a Fathead” offer. I can’t even cheat properly.
*Sigh*
Where’s my wooden spoon?
What an incredible bracket – every contest got over 1000 votes, including the positively obscene 2326 between 289 and the state of Kentucky. Apparently everyone with internet access in the entire Commonwealth voted.
Yeah, I think things between Leitch and Kentucky could get rrrreal interesting before this is over.
Oh….you’re already counting me out against William, Holly? I see how it is. Don’t think I don’t have a few tricks up my sleeve.
Actually, they’ll meet earlier than that….and seriously, from your numbers, you are NOT to be trifled with, AA. Nice work.
I’m actually terrified of a complete bracket re-seeding, and I somehow face Kentucky. Well you know what Kentucky??? You can call be UAB.
be=me
AA is the juggernaut, biiiitch!
Not that I’m calling anyone who might run this site biiiitch, you understand. It’s just the catchphrase. [/unstab]
Will nor anyone else really stands against a chance against the power of the commonwealth.
please omit the first “against” in the previous post…im going to go vote for Matt again.
