Your Bracket Contest Winners, and How about them Boilers ELITE 8!!

Ahh yes the madness is winding down, and I have the four bracket winners who move on to round 2. Sorry, this is mostly going to be a sports post, and I know that pains most of you. However, I love sports and they are a big part of who I am so you gotta live with it! The bright side is, once basketball is over they should dwindle haha.

Before I make the big announcement of the winners, I have to say big ups to the Purdue Womens Basketball team tonight in taking down the Georgia Bulldogs 78-65. It was an interesting game as we trailed much of the first half by double digits. We finally started playing Boiler Ball, and cut it to 1 point at the half. Second half once we got the lead we never let up. Led by our All American Katie Gearlds 30 pts, and Lindsey Wysdom-Hylton's 28. The Boilers will try to advance to their 4th Final Four on Tuesday night vs the evil North Carolina Tar Heels, and their little punk bitch latta. Should be a good game, it's a rematch of last year's sweet 16 game where that injury faker Latta hit a shot at the buzzer to win it. I hate UNC(sorry shife). Everyone root for the Boilers
BOILER UP!!

Now the moment you have ALL been waiting for the big news of who the hell won the bracket contest. First off thank you all again for participating I hope you had a good time. I was impressed by all of you!! Alright the final standings, and it literally came down to the wire.
Lets start with the Midwest
1st Cheryl = 33 Points
2nd Mike H = 29 Points
3rd The Phoenix = 21 Points
4th Beading = 5 Points
Congrats to Cheryl she won the Midwest and will now move on to pick the final four. I need those picks by Friday Cheryl. Cheryl was probably the most impressive picker of the whole group. Her only real stumble was taking georgia tech but that was really her only mistake. Gotta give major props to Mike H, he knows more then Hockey!

The West
1st The Duck = 28 Points
2nd David = 27 Points
3rd Steph = 3 Points
Congrats to The Duck for winning the West, and he moves on to pick the final four. How the West was won, it's simple Duck picked VCU, whereas David went with his Duke Blue Devils. That was the difference.

The South
1 Nutz = 23 Points
1 Design Goddess = 23 Points
3 Jenn = 5 Points
Congrats to Nutz. She won on tiebreaker procedures(no demanding a recount DG). Nutz had several chances to wrap it up, but her teams kept losing. She correctly picked a closer number of overall points in the regional final, but it was extremely close. Nutz moves on to pick the final four.

The East
1st Jef 31 Points
2nd Mr Shife 24 Points
3rd Fuzz 10 Points
Congrats to Jef for his win, and he will move on to pick the final four. This was the most interesting match up, because it came down to the last game of the day, UNC vs Georgetown. Jef squeaked one out with G'town taking down UNC in Overtime. I told Shife I gave UNC the kiss of death by picking them, sorry Shife. Jef with a nice come from behind win.

Thanks to all who played! We'll do it again next year.


Remember to root for the Boilers Tuesday and
BTFU!
