WTF? Did I need to stall even longer before facing VA?

Quick Summary:
:skull_and_crossbones: :skull_and_crossbones:
:popcorn: :popcorn: :popcorn:
:oh_noes:

The Ides of March have struck the Klaymen region, and Rock was the weapon of choice, causing the final blow in both matches.

Meanwhile in the Kid_Rock region, both matches are now in Game 7, which means all three opening round matches are going the distance… which is pretty much what we’d expect in the Kid_Rock Region! (For the new viewers in the audience, last year Kid_Rock came back from being down 3-1 in FOUR consecutive matches to win 4-3, thus reminding us all again and again that it’s not over until it’s over.)

So how many more :skull_and_crossbones: will we see this Ides of March? Stay tuned to find out (and keep sending in those throws!! :+1:).

Definitely thought I was going to be one of those :skull_and_crossbones:'s. I guess I get to eat a little more popcorn first! :popcorn:

gg EzeklCumber! Now, go win it all!

I was really hoping I would last longer than the first round this year but overthinking every throw did me in, again.

Thanks UA!

Woof!

Looks like I’ll be getting off the bench soon.

hold your horses

This is reminiscent of the setup of the 2013 BCS. One of us will emerge from the conference championship and be with you shortly.

GG! The ‘smash the keyboard in the interest of time’ strat is officially a loser!

Ahh, there it is! I’ve been looking all over for that ball I dropped last Friday! *blush*

My apologies for the lack of a Friday afternoon update. I would claim that the carnage from the midday update was too much for me, but I know y’all would see through that, so I won’t even try. Hopefully those issues will not pop up again.

But the good news is we’ve got a very exciting update for y’all!

Quick Summary:
:skull_and_crossbones: :skull_and_crossbones:
:skull_and_crossbones: :skull_and_crossbones:

That’s right - we’re all outta :popcorn: ! The last two regions have wrapped up all their matches, and we are now down to our Sweet Sixteen! And those elimination games were very efficient - only one went more than one throw. :astonished:

Our defending champ has now officially started play, and has continued where they left off from last season - is this a sign that the Regional titleholders are going to be extra tough to beat this year? :thinking:

With those matches wrapped up, all of the players who have been waiting anxiously on the sidelines can now join the fray! I’m thinking we’ve got an exciting week ahead of us, so let’s all watch together to see how this plays out, and, as always, keep sending in those throws! :+1:
