Elite Eight is Set! But what does that mean for you?
OH. MY. GOD.
The Elite Eight has set up a Madness Madness showdown the likes we've never seen.
Let's start by reiterating that Briley will once again not be a part of it, and that Final Four came in last. That would've actually been a lot funnier if I didn't come in second to last (but, I must say, not last).
Briley (on right) takes the news well that he came in last.
Why has the last two days shaken things up? Well, it's taken the bawdy jackrabbits Amanda Huginkiss and Careless and Reckless to eight points and left them floating precariously in dangerous waters. Much like the lithe woman in "Jaws", it sounded like a good idea to go for a midnight swim but, as we now know, there are a couple of hungry sharks out there and that scary theme music is playing...
In this metaphor, who are the sharks? If you look at 8 points as the possible winning score, then, believe it or not, the Myoptics, LL Cool J, Vertical Smiles and Ballz Deep all have shots at the money.
But what needs to happen? To stop the marches of Amanda Huginkiss and Careless and Reckless, Kansas St. needs to beat Loyola AND Michigan St. needs to beat Florida St.. If that happens, it paves the way for pandamonium!
Um, sorry. I meant pandemonium...
If Florida St. and Loyola lose, this is what our world will look like.
At this point, I'm sure Where's Stinson and Tres Pendejos have been reading and looking for some love. As the potential spoilers of someone's March Madness Madness dream, one of them all will be really important IN THE NEXT ROUND. Until then, who wins their battle is as important as who wins between these two fighting giants...
Duke and Kansas go after it!
Enjoy the Madness!
