Well, Rock was in the driver seat for like 48 hours.
With a remarkable 5 out of the final 8 (no one else had more than 3), all he needed was either Michigan or Michigan State to go farther than Wisconsin. And with MI and MIST both favored to win and WI facing #1 Arizona, it was looking good. But the state of Michigan did Pop wrong again. Apparently the Lions curse escaped the confines of the Motor city and took down the whole damn state.
While the Michigan state motto may be “if you seek a pleasant peninsula, look about you” (or “Si Quaeris Peninsulam Amoenam Circumspice” for those who prefer their mottos in the original latin form), if you seek a pleasant Pennella, I suggest you look elsewhere than Basking Ridge. For when the weekend dust cleared, Zane had somehow put 3 into the final 4 and locked up the whole deal. It’s just a matter of how badly he kicks the rest of our arses now. And no one’s is getting kicked harder than Special K who was eliminated by Friday night.
I will post the final results, but the order shall not change. Congrats to Zane. And we can only hope that Kris has learned from her karmic comeuppance and thus will be more bearable come football season.
