exit237a , if you don't want the WSU @ Pitt match, I'll do it but Pitt is the higher seed and it's at their house so you have double dibs on it. If you want it, you should take it. Since it's at Stanford, I'd like the ASU @ Stanford match but if manyshaped has their heart set on it, they can do it.
Thanks, baytree! If it's cool with you and cool with JT, I'd like for him to take Pitt vs WSU (if he's game, of course). Minnesota, Hawaii, and St. Thomas are all gone but that doesn't mean the match threads have to stop : ). LMK |

Probably won't get the thread completed until tomorrow sometime. |

Happy Sweet 16 Eve, everyone! Make sure to leave milk & cookies out for Holly McPeak tonight.
I'm so excited for it! My usual, preferred Sweet 16 viewing situation is disrupted this year so I'm still trying to figure out how to best watch all the action in real-time. I'll make it work though : )
Hope the rest of you all have a great Sweet 16, too!

Should we quick figure out the E8 thread maker possibilities/assignments, or are there too many variables?
(Iām available if needed, but assume that all the likely ā and most of the unlikely ā matchups will already have homers.)

Thanks for thinking about this and offering your services again!
This year, since half of the teams remaining have home team homer match threaders, I kinda feel like there are a lot of variables so I've been sitting on my hands about pinning anyone down. I was thinking we'd be fluid tomorrow as the results are coming in, and folks could respond about whether they want to make the Elite Eight thread based on how their teams did. It's generous of folks to volunteer in advance to do an Elite Eight thread regardless of their team's Sweet 16 result but I wouldn't want to pressure anyone into it.
There are two regionals that seem pretty clearcut to me about who would be natural threaders for the Elite Eight. If Nebraska wins, ilikecorn should (and most definitely will) take it since there's no other home team homer in that regional. If they lose, trainermch has the right of first refusal since it'll be an SEC team in the final regardless. In the Pitt regional, the winner of Creighton/Louisville should make the Elite Eight thread, either avid 2.0 or eazy . The other two regional finals could consist of two teams with homer threaders.
If folks would rather talk it out before then or outline the scenario(s) under which they want/don't want to make the EE thread, I'm happy to etch anything into VT table stone for us. Feel free to weigh in either way : )

Since I made all the Sweet 16 threads for the Wisconsin regional, I can commit to making the Elite 8 thread regardless - it's a pretty easy copypasta. Just don't expect a fun fact for Penn State if I'm busy mourning my Badgers.
