I somehow hacked my way into the Final Four by beating the far superior OVERCONFIDENT JEREMY SHOCKEY, 859 votes to 613. Just ... come on, don’t vote for me. Just don’t.

(1) I am ROLLERBLADING RAPTORS MASCOT.

I am here by virtue of a decisive 996-298 victory over the great YANKEE ENTHUSIASTS. I honestly expected that my first Final Four match-up would be more difficult. But if the results of the last round are any indicator, the virtually impossible can happen. People showed up to vote for BRUCE BOWEN’S FLYING KICK, a 10-seed that deserved to be a 10-seed. And just between you and me, I’d like to admit something: I am afraid.

VOTE!
