March Madness – Final Four
Wow! The Elite Eight not only brought the biggest numbers of votes, but also brought the biggest upset thus far. In a down to the wire battle, Bill Elliston locked up the win to advance over Marty Nothstein by 1 vote! He goes on to face Scott Zwizanski, while Bobby Lea faces Laura Van Gilder for what will surely be another fiercely contested match.
Here’s the updated bracket – get your vote on! Voting closes tomorrow at 8:00pm EST.
I think people are voting based on irony, rather than athletic performance. Or maybe it’s sentiment? Tough to say. Are we allowed to campaign for our favorites?
I don’t get how they could be voting on irony? Everyone in this bracket deserves to be there. Of course there’s sentiment, it’s a vote by the people. This isn’t just about “athletic performance” – it’s total package as a rider.
Even in races the strongest person doesn’t always win. If that were the case we’d line up and compare LT tests, and the one with the highest score would win. Cycling is about strength, fitness, tactics, and a lot of other factors.
And cycling is about class. Something that the upset master Bill most definitely has. And trust me, I wanted Marty to win – he would have hopefully locked up my 6 donuts!
Damn, this may be more exciting then the real tourney. Nice work.
This was a great idea Matt. It’s really heating up!
Thanks Anthony but I only get partial credit; Mr. 420 was in on this too. In fact he came to me with the idea.
Great fun no matter what!
This might be better than my golden douche awards last year.
