Okay, so there weren't nearly as many upsets as in the real tournament. Some upsets were happening in the beginning, but the higher seeds made comebacks. Covers in general, and the Velvet Underground in particular, got their asses kicked.

These matchups are obviously a little more interesting than in the first round. This works the same way as the first round. Just copy and paste this, and put an 'x' next to your choice, and e-mail it to: btpatton@comcast.net

Did I really take 2X2 over Bufalo Head? What was I thinking? Oh well, I guess it doesn't matter.

I was also hoping for a Willy and the Willigers upset.

yeah, i'm positive that i voted for buffalo head. i think this thing is rigged, dammit.

Keith, Freezetag, neither of you voted. Perhaps you sent the e-mail to my OLD e-mail address, btpatton@home.com. This e-mail address no longer exists. It is btpatton@comcast.net. Don't feel bad, lawnwrangler made the same mistake.

copy of the original E-mail header:

Subj: Features tournament
Date: Mon, 11 Mar 2002 11:34:07 PM Eastern Standard Time
From: TheKeifer
To: bpatton@comcast.net

Are you sure this is your E-mail address? Did you get my vote for round 2?

It's btpatton@comcast.net, not bpatton@comcast.net.

d'oh.

I'm sure that 'bpatton@comcast.net' is very, very confused right now.

I'm sad because some of my favorite songs lost out. Oh well... life goes on.

By the way, my friend Al Gore told me that you should count the ballots sent to the wrong address. He's going to help me initiate legal action to have a full recount.

You're not very funny, Tom.

Today is the last day to vote on the second round. 7 people have voted so far. I will post the Sweet Sixteen tonight after midnight.
