Round One Update

Last week at GIK was one filled with heartbreak, upsets, and some great hustle, so before we head into the Final Four tomorrow I want to get everyone caught up.

In the first game of the Boxleitner Bracket, #1 seedThe Saint came to dominate, give 110%, and do the things it had to do to put points on the board. The vaguely '90s high-waisted jeans and immobile wolf mask of #4 seed Eyes of the Werewolf weren't enough to even make it a game. In game two, young Tom Hanks (Pardu, a Holyman) and his band of super cool gamer friends in #3 seed Mazes and Monsters pulled a minor upset and defeated a space-traveling Jason Voorhees in Jason X.

The Voight Bracket started out calmly enough with #2 seed Starship Troopers outplaying J.Lo's ass, Vaughn's bloat, and D'Onofrio's whatever in #3 seed The Cell. Then, things got a little Grieco as the commissioner yanked Judgment from play and replaced it with Left Behind. In a game that generated heated debate, the newly-appointed #4 seed Left Behind shocked the world and dropped #1 seed Showgirls.

That leves us with a Final Four that looks like this:

(1) The Saint vs. (3) Mazes and Monsters

(2) Starship Troopers vs. (4) Left Behind

As George Mason has proven, anything can happen at tournament time, so get ready for some great games.

Go LSU?
