From 64 to 32 just like THAT

First, a little housecleaning: GameTracker is ruining my life. You remember that speech Susan Hawk gave to that other woman on Survivor about not stopping to help her if she were dying of thirst? That's how I feel about GameTracker, the worst piece of technology since New Coke, Pepsi Clear, and ColecoVision. GameTracker is not the pebble in my shoe, it's the goiter on my neck. If my toaster performed this badly, I'd leave my bagels lying out in the sun to ensure myself a more rewarding experience.

BYU over Washington - The Mormons defeat...THE CAULDRON...at Washington, no less. Three out of BYU's last four matches have gone 5. Mitt Romney just jumped 5 points in the polls.

Mmm, Michigan... - In one fell swoop, Dayton's dream of a brave, new A10 world is squashed by the Spartans, while the Wolverines made good on their pre-conference promise with a sweep of Hilbert's Harbingers of Doom.

Murfreesboro Attacks! - Matt Peck and the Blue Raiders beat Hawaii in the tourney? And we're not talking about Tennessee Tennessee, Middle Tennessee. State. This is like the UNI Revolution, just further south and with fewer people named "Bobbi."

Speaking of Iowa, sorta - Former Wisconsinites Christy Johnson and Joey Lynch commit an egregious act against the Motherland by sweeping the Badgers AT Wisconsin.

Ducks on the Fritz - Get it? Oregon Ducks? Susie Fritz? Oh, the humor...With a 5-game win over K-State, Oregon now has 22 wins, the most since 1986 when they were coached by...Gerry Gregory, probably most famous for being the father of...Jaimi Gregory, the high-flyin' Stanford Cardinal.

Pac-10 boots ACC - UCLA and Cal go all the way across the country just to uproot the ACC from the NCAA tourney. That, folks, is determination.

The .300 Club? - EVERY Longhorn starter hits over .300 while dropping LSU in three straight. Every starter, that is, except for Brandy Magee, who hit over .600.

The rise and fall of Albany, Delaware - The dizzying highs! The punishing lows! The mocking tone of volleytalk's finest as they decry the nature of the 64-team field!

Oh, Beach... - 49ers fall just short -- losing in five games -- but put on simply a magnificent performance, just marvelous, considering all the obstacles they had to overcome, and how far they've come, oh glorious Long Beach...at least that's what I've been told to say by my 49er overlords located deep within the Pyramid, from whom I receive my daily instructions.
