After carefully thinking about each matchup, the following are my votes: mrpaige codell Rocketman95 (toss up...both are great) Manny Ramirez Raven Lunatic DaDakota MadMax (can't vote against such a great poster and a great friend) drapg (toss up...but if he wins I can say I got beat by the champ) These were all tough. So many great posters going up against each other.

mrpaige ******vs. Another Brother Behad vs. codell***** (Im going to get blown out anyway and I just can't vote for someone who bribes people and doesnt post in the GARM) Rocketman95***** vs. B-Bob rockHEAD******* vs. Manny Ramirez (pretty even matchup; HEAD gets the edge due to his hard work in chat) Raven Lunatic vs. SmeggySmeg******** DaDakota vs. Rockets2K******** (R2K's levelheadedness in the GARM is rewarded) Sir Jackie Chiles vs. MadMax******** moestavern19******** vs. drapg (tough tough call; I love drapg but moes has been especially entertaining (annoying) in chat lately)
Well, since I really don't expect to get any further than this...let me go ahead and congratulate the Rocket fan from down under. If he can stop cramming his maw with Fosters, and put down his boomerang and wrestlin' croc for a moment, I'd point out that in last season's CC.NET pickup game, I attempted a hook-shot over him (I'm about 5'9-5'10) and it wasn't blocked. Sure, it didn't go in, but since it was an ill-advised shot (and I knew it was before I took it), but I was at least able to get it off, I was quite proud of myself...in a Cuttino Mobley shooting 25% sort of way. At any rate, I had a nice run, and made it as far in the tourney as I did last year, I believe. I doubt I will ever crack the top 8, so I can be content with this.

Sweet 16 Matchups mrpaige vs. Another Brother Behad vs. codell Rocketman95 vs. B-Bob - These votes are so hard it's not fair. rockHEAD vs. Manny Ramirez Raven Lunatic vs. SmeggySmeg - Shameless, I know. DaDakota vs. Rockets2K Sir Jackie Chiles vs. MadMax moestavern19 vs. drapg
Sweet 16 Matchups mrpaige vs. Another Brother (abstain) Behad*** vs. codell (bribes are what makes America great. Viva la barbecue) Rocketman95*** vs. B-Bob (the most neurotic/liberal/jailbird ever in a BBS) rockHEAD*** vs. Manny Ramirez (really like Manny but rockHead is my favorite poster) Raven Lunatic*** vs. SmeggySmeg (close but Elvis is always the right choice) DaDakota*** vs. Rockets2K (Can't beat Charles Durning/Spanky dead ringer who buys wings for everyone and works in a porno theater) Sir Jackie Chiles vs. MadMax*** (Germans. Blech) moestavern19*** vs. drapg (If drapg loses his job, Ill change my vote)
mrpaige vs. Another Brother - see AB, I voted for you and I also voted for you in the first round. Behad vs. codell Rocketman95 vs. B-Bob rockHEAD vs. Manny Ramirez - even though HEAD is great. Raven Lunatic vs. SmeggySmeg DaDakota vs. Rockets2K Sir Jackie Chiles vs. MadMax moestavern19 vs. drapg I just wanted to say that these were the hardest ones yet to vote on! I feel bad that I keep voting against codell and B-Bob as I love their posts but they have been victims of bad matchups for me. Raven wins over Smeg because of sim connections (when in doubt go with the simleaguer). I take Max over Jackie due to similar viewpoints about politics and religion. And even though drapg is one of my all-time favorites, moe is the tops. Out of all these matchups, only 1 was an easy one (and that wasn't my matchup against HEAD).

Some very tough matchups here. Sweet 16 Matchups mrpaige vs. Another Brother Behad vs. codell Rocketman95 vs. B-Bob rockHEAD vs. Manny Ramirez Raven Lunatic vs. SmeggySmeg DaDakota vs. Rockets2K Sir Jackie Chiles vs. MadMax moestavern19 vs. drapg
mrpaige vs. Another Brother Behad vs. codell Rocketman95 vs. B-Bob rockHEAD vs. Manny Ramirez Raven Lunatic vs. SmeggySmeg DaDakota vs. Rockets2K Sir Jackie Chiles vs. MadMax moestavern19 vs. drapg I won't name names, but the reasons I don't like some of these are that in some of the matchups, I hate voting against someone, and in other matchups, I could care less btween the two., Oh well. What are you going to do?
mrpaige vs. Another Brother Behad vs. codell Rocketman95 vs. B-Bob rockHEAD vs. Manny Ramirez Raven Lunatic vs. SmeggySmeg (hardest for me...I like both, even though they are idiots...if it makes you feel any better, Raven, the past two rounds I have simply quoted your votes and used them as mine because we have agreed. Last time I made one change and this time I made one change - and you are it!) DaDakota vs. Rockets2K Sir Jackie Chiles vs. MadMax moestavern19 vs. drapg
I don't post in the GARM, just that I post judiciously, not blabbering on in every thread like you do. Just because you can't use a barbecue smoker doesn't give you the right to tear me down.
