Harvard clearly won the North, and Cornell clearly won the South.

Here are two schools full of valedictorians who have completed successful seasons - full of hugs and life lessons and friendships and character building and smiles - at the top their divisions. Congratulations!

Oh no! Wait! It seems the finest academic conference our nation has to offer sees fit to have Harvard play Cornell for the league championship! I wonder why that is?

Harvard won, btw. I wonder if any of those players had ever won a championship before? I wonder if they are proud of winning the Ivy League title, and if it increased their self-confidence. I wonder if that self-confidence will help them as they continue on through life? I wonder if they would have rather just skipped the championship tournament altogether?

I wonder, but we'll never know, because they will never mention this championship again. Which makes me wonder if they're all majoring in stoicism.

First of all, Jamada - you make me laugh. Thanks for adding literary wit to Hey Bucket.

Really? That incoherent nonsense passes for literary wit these days?

Wilde and Shakespeare are surely rolling over in - and likely trying to dig their way out of - their graves.

Yeah, but Samuel Clemens (aka Mark Twain) is smiling. I thought you'd be a fan of parody...

But he said wit.
I couldn't translate all the Mexican , so I failed to even consider parody. Which is odd, since the tournament so oft-mentioned here ended in parity.

I thought Sota was with Anderson?? Man I have been out of the loop for sometime now....Whatever happened to Valley Tribe, Franchise and Crunch?

Sota was with Anderson...Left that organization and became Firecrackers and changed his name officially to SotO to hide from the softball mafia...

Franchise became Firecrackers....And then at the end of last season they became Firecrackers again...Am I making sense...

Crunch became Firecrackers also...Only a different Firecrackers...



Oh, and Valley Tribe became Choppers...

Sounds to me like Brackey is going to have to make a bracket just so we can keep up with the movement of the teams every month

I don't know SpazDad, maybe you shouldn't have said anything until you got everyone's story? Because now, you have everyone thinking that the tournament was poorly ran and planned etc which is far from the truth. At the same time, your also saying us coaches aren't teaching our girls character by not playing a "Championship" game? Our integrity as coaches? Really?

So now its Spazdad's fault that these people have no reading comprehension skills because they are not valedictorians like their daughters?
