Oops. Thanks Suzanne. I'll fix that right now.

is there a complete, updated bracket anywhere?
Posted by: Jim Lemire | March 27, 2007 1:03 PM
Soon, my friend. Soon.
Posted by: David Ng | March 27, 2007 1:53 PM
um, what happened to the tournament?
Posted by: Jim Lemire | April 25, 2007 8:04 PM
Jim, We're apologize for lack of notice and thank you for asking us...we each (Dave and I) hit a mid-to-late semester snag at the same time that, unfortunately, then coincided with the Va Tech tragedy, which ended up putting us off by a few weeks. We're back on, with new announcements and the final games, very soon. Thanks for the patience, and again, sorry for the delay. Ben

Please finish this tournament somehow. I know it's been awhile, but this is pretty much the funniest thing I've ever seen!

Yes, we will. Definitely by the end of 2007, or else we'll have to go into space-time stuff which is hardly our strong point.
