TDMMC March Madness - BIG DANCE - Octopi vs. Milk

[Dave Gray]

Octopi beat the Green Monster, 9-3 to advance to the final. 
To get there, it beat:
- The Granite M at Missouri
- Kissing the Bricks at the Brickyard 400
- The Play Like a Champion Sign at Notre Dame
- Terrible Towels from Pittsburgh

Milk beat Sweet Caroline, 10-2 to advance.
To get there, it beat:
- Bear Down Bears, from Chicago
- The Yankee's singing New York, New York
- Sausages Races in Milwaukee
- Duke's Cameron Crazies
- Sweet Caroline in Boston

Both Octopi and Milk were #1 seeds going in, based on my best estimates.  Aside from one mistake I made, the seeds were pretty accurate.  I had "7th Inning Stretch" as a 15 seed, thinking it would get knocked out right away.  I didn't realize that some people consider that tradition sacred to the Cubs.  The other two final four teams, the Green Monster and Sweet Caroline, were a 1 and 2 seed, respectively.  The other #1 was the Lambeau Leap, which lost to a tough draw, to the Green Jacket.

Glad to see the Boston icons were knocked out

If I had been the solo arbiter for the rankings, the Final would have been The Green Jacket vs. The 7th Inning Stretch.

My vote in this one goes to the Octopi...

Milk should have never beaten out the Crazies. As much as I hate the creatures, the octopi are the better tradition. There are people who stuffed those things in their pants to sneak them into games.

That's not why they stuffed them in their pants...

Just curious -

How does Milk have 5 defeated opponents and Octopi only have 4?

^^^ He has them both listed with five wins. Dave covered Sweet Caroline twice for Milk.
