Well , 'ol Moxon just didn’t have what it took to finish off the Joker, who once again gets the last laugh. After the jump, your remaining 4 teams from the Moxon Region...

We are the verge of the biggest upset of the tournament. #1 seed Varsity Blues wound up perfectly tied with The Dark Knight. You know what that means... OVERTIME!

No word in the English language exudes as much awesomeness as "overtime." No matter the circumstances, you're as excited as Maniak when he smells bacon-flavored-cookies baking.

OT will last until 1pm today. Look for Moxon to run the ooptie-oop. Look for the Joker to put together a ridiculously elaborate plan wherein no one notices a school bus plowing into the front door of a bank.

--------------------

#1 Varsity Blues - Mox: Playing football for West Canaan may have been the opportunity of your lifetime, but I... don't want... your life!

#8 The Dark Knight - The Joker: Let's put a smile on that face!

Good luck to all participants.

Our last region for round 2. Don't forget to vote for the other three. The Moxon Sweet Sixteen will hopefully be posted tomorrow.

Aspen Round 2, post jump...

Yeah yeah, we're behind. But Blacksburg and late grad school application deadlines happen. We're on it, promise.

Your Peffercorn Region Round 2, after the jump...

One week.  That's all it took.  The Pirates are in the midst of a 6-game losing streak and the Sox won a few, lost a couple to make them competitive in this two team race. Granted the Bosox were playing the Baltimore Shitrioles, but they did not have an easy time with them.  Boston's problems are very far from over.  Pittsburgh, on the other hand, looks like their problems are just starting.  We'll follow this head-to-head battle as the season goes on. You know what, let's expand this thing.  Most of our readers (read: two) are from the DC/MD area, so inevitably, they must root for the Natinals (not a typo) and the Orioles.  Let's include these guys in to the head-to-head-to-head-to-head competition as well.  Winner gets nothing.So far, 19 games in, the Nationals are the team with the bragging rights.

10-9 (.526)(Third in NL East)

8-11 (.421)(Fourth in AL East)

3-16 (.158)(Last in AL East)

And not scared.

Yes folks, it's that time of year! The sun is shining, birds are chirping, and non-snow activity is taking place on the Dietrick Lawn. But more importantly, football returns to Blacksburg!

Well, it's kind of football. The Spring Game is here, and is ready to be your excuse to go back to town.

This weekend is as much a practice for fans as it is for the team. Tailgating skills have to be in top form come September, and we don't want anyone to be rusty.

Your humble editor will be announcing his presence with authority. This blog requires that I put in hours of diligent study, and I refuse to be lazy. I will be getting a first-hand account of this game, and my analysis will be hard-hitting*. Thus, I'm writing the trip off as a business expense.

* also acceptable: drunken ramblings

The following occurred when I asked to leave early today.

C Gally: Is it cool if I head out around three? Heading to Blacksburg.

Boss: No problem. What's in Blacksburg this weekend?

C Gally: Our spring football game.

Boss: ....

C Gally: I'm driving four hours to go watch my team play itself.

Boss: ....

C Gally: Where'd you go to school?

Boss: American.

So if you'd like to hang with the coolest blogger this side of Kyle Tucker, you know how to hit us up. Or just look for the drunk guy screaming about the Penguins on Saturday night.

Ben Roethlisberger was suspended for six games on Wednesday for violating the NFL's personal conduct policy, the NFL announced.

The Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback also was ordered to undergo a comprehensive behavioral evaluation. Commissioner Roger Goodell will evaluate Roethlisberger's progress before the season and might consider reducing the suspension to four games.

Well we all saw this coming.  And from the stories around the interwebs, Ashy Ben should have gotten a couple more games tacked on.  I mean you can't honestly think you can get away with raping a girl and face no consequences, right?  Murder, on the other hand, is a completely different story.

Anyways, all you Stillers fans can look forward to at least four games with Dennis Dixon slingin' the rock.  And if you're really lucky, maybe even a Charlie Batch cameo.  Oooo, I can't wait.

Four ridiculous match-ups, after the jump...

Complete chalk in round one for the Moxon Region. Probably due to such great seeding on the part of the committee. After the jump, your second round match-ups…

I know I know, it sounds crazy, but let's look at the facts right now in this very, very young season:

1. The Red Sox are blowing ass.  Hard.
2. The Pirates are in second place in the NL Central, only one game back.
3. The Red Sox are barely above the BALTIMORE FUCKING ORIOLES in the AL East and as I write this, are currently getting crushed by the Rays in the fourth inning got swept at home. Sonofabitch.
   
4. The Pirates are 5-1 at home and 2-4 on the road with a three game win streak in their pocket.
5. The Red Sox are 1-5 at home (FUCK) and 3-3 on the road with a nice little 4 game losing streak hanging around their necks. 
   

Granted this season has just started, and I'm not panicking quite yet, but it will be interesting to see how this plays out.  However, in all reality, the Pirates will still suck harder than a Dyson and the Red Sox are fahking ahhhsome, so this is probably a moot point.  But STILL, could it happen?  Will it happen?  No.  But CGally can dream.  Dream CGally, dream.  We will keep you updated on this civil war as it plays out.
