Southeast I MacBeth vs. GreenVegan76 Oski2005 vs. mrpaige SamFisher vs. gr8-1 Trader_Jorge vs. Another Brother - I wish they were all this easy Midwest II Behad vs. Heath Batman Jones vs. ROXRAN Puedlfor vs. codell Castor27 vs. SamCassell West I Rocketman95 vs. PhiSlammaJamma Mulder vs. ima_drummer2k B-Bob vs. rimbaud Stupid Moniker vs. haven West II heypartner vs. The Cat rockHEAD vs. Achebe JuanValdez vs. Manny Ramirez RocketsPimp vs. TheFreak
I vote for the following people: Trader_Jorge ima_drummer2k Stupid Moniker Manny Ramirez The Freak PhiSlammaJamma The rest I'm indifferent.
I just like to say that these matchups were very tough for me to vote on but here are my picks: GreenVegan76 Oski2005 SamFisher Trader_Jorge ROXRAN Puedlfor SamCassell Rocketman95 ima_drummer2k rimbaud Stupid Moniker The Cat rockHEAD Manny Ramirez The Freak A lot of these I could have abstained on, but I tried not to. However, I had to abstain on the Behad and Heath matchup. Behad posts more and is the better poster, but I can't vote against Heath - sorry.
Southeast I MacBeth vs. GreenVegan76 - GREENVEGAN. reasonable post-length Oski2005 vs. mrpaige - MRPAIGE. Knowledgable about many topics. SamFisher vs. gr8-1 - SAMUEL FISHER. He's misguided, but quite funny. Trader_Jorge vs. Another Brother - TRADER JORGE. ab's funny. T_J is funny and smart Midwest II Behad vs. Heath - BEHAD. The bbq lessons are nice. Batman Jones vs. Roxran - ROXRAN. I enjoy the gun lectures Puedlfor vs. codell - CODELL. His car advice is awesome Castor27 vs. SamCassell - CASTOR27. Astros' fan is ok by me West I Rocketman95 vs. PhiSlammaJamma - PSJ. rm is a bit too angry for me Mulder vs. ima_drummer2k - IMADRUMMER2k. Wise conservative. B-Bob vs. rimbaud - B-BOB. Rice alumnus and witty Stupid Moniker vs. haven - STUPID MONIKER. Well thought out posts West II heypartner vs. The Cat - HEYPARTNER. Another Rice guy...must be smart rockHEAD vs. Achebe - ROCKHEAD. Puts forth a lot of effort JuanValdez vs. Manny Ramirez - MANNYRAMIREZ. Very sincere poster RocketsPimp vs. TheFreak - THEFREAK.

bigtexxx, you're a conservative and end a lot of your posts with shouting, I thought you'd like the anger in me.

the comittee did the seedings on purpose. They tried, and hoped, and it happened. T_J vs AB in the second round. Props to you guys.
MacBeth mrpaige gr8-1 Another Brother Behad Batman Jones Puedlfor vs. codell - abstain SamCassell - Very tough one Rocketman95 ima_drummer2k rimbaud haven heypartner Achebe JuanValdez vs. Manny Ramirez - abstain RocketsPimp vs. TheFreak - abstain I'd say that there was only one matchup that wasn't excruciatingly hard to vote on.
What is the purpose of doing this is so many people arent going to vote one way or the other? I dont think that you are going to hurt anyones feelings for voting or not voting for someone.
