When Sixteen tasted so sweet...
And we're down to 16!
Lets start with a test. Raise you hands if you thought these teams would still be in the tournament at the this point?
Wow! You all knew who was going to be in the Sweet Sixteen?
If you raised your hand, YOU WOULD BE A LIAR! Your lying ways aside, I thought this would be a good time to assess the March Madness playing field, and who was still standing and breathing on the aforementioned playing field.
To start, if there was an actual March Madness Madness playing field, then, being honest, Eyes of the Prize (who, me?), Final Four (even with that phantom point from North Caroline) and, though I hate to say it, Tres Bandejos would be sitting very far away in a bar down the street.
The Sweet Sixteen Bar (for losers).
Now that I've delivered the bad news, it's time to turn towards the good news (for most of you)! The March Madness Madness leaders are Amanda Huginkiss and Careless and Reckless. Both have seven points and are showing us that the guys from "Dumb and Dumber" might be smarter than they looked.
Careless and Reckless and Amandahuginkiss go for a moped ride.
So what's the good news? Even with these two teams leading the pack, it's far from being a done deal. We've never had anyone win March Madness Madness with less than nine points. With that in mind, and looking a the matchups, here's how it breaks down for tonight (THURSDAY'S GAMES)...
LL Cool J and Vanilla Puff's Army duke it out for a loser leave the Madness Madness Cage Match with Vanilla Puff's Aggies taking on Cool J's Wolverines. The real question is if Cooper is Ric Flair or Dusty Rhodes?
Ballz Deep's Kansas St. plays Happy Dog Lips' Wildcats. Both teams need a win. Unfortunately, only one will get that win (this is because there's a rule in NCAA basketball that says only one team can win, I'm serious, look it up).
"Whoa, he's right. Only one team can win. Hashtag mind blown."
Careless and Reckless' Cinderella story marches on as his Nevada team plays Loyola. This point takes Robby to 8 points and, more importantly, is another essential step for him to show is all that Spring Hill, LA is the next intellectual center of the South.
And finally, the leading Amanda Huginkiss takes on Vertical Smiles as Amanda's Seminoles tussle with the Smile's Zags. The question is if these two will make love or war? I saw the way these two teams were looking at each other and it kind of reminded me of this...
Love in the Madness (Madness).
Good luck to all and may the Madness be with you!
