     The Final Four is set and does not contain a top seed. Battleship wiped the smile off of Mr. Potato Head's face and left him with nothing but a blank stare. And Electric Football's thundering defense led to a season-low shooting percentage from PlayDoh. Play Doh said, "It's like there was a lid on it out there today!"


     Have you been keeping up with the experts? Malcolm Washington went into this round with three of his Final Four picks still alive and a great chance to run away with the "Examine the Experts" Challenge; however, those three (Mr. Potato Head, Mousetrap, and Hot Wheels) are now just washed-up has-beens like Washington himself. Interestingly, the only expert with a correct Final Four pick is Kurt Lagoon, riding steady in third place.


     IMPORTANT ADVICE FOR THE FINAL FOUR: As you know, this is the time of year when illegal gambling hits annual highs and tensions are at a fever pitch. At this point of the tournament, supporters are walking a thin line between fandom and fanatacism.

     This space in the wrap-up, previously held for a report from Crazed Eric from Leroy, now contains this warning because of an unfortunate incident. Eric filed a report this week that was, in a word, disturbing. It seems that he spent the week stalking family members of Mr. Potato Head and Battleship in hopes of providing yet another scoop to GoBoilers.com. We would print the report here, but it has been sent to the police, a team of psychiatrists, and both Milton and Bradley. Get well soon, Eric; we hope to see you hiding in the bushes outside GB.c World Headquarters again real soon.

     So please, everyone ... take your role seriously; but don't forget to take your medicine as well.




Lost Pieces ...

     This was the year we really thought we'd put all the pieces together. -- Mousetrap


     I know a lot of people think the NerfBall is soft, but they're not. I think someone left them out in the rain or something. Anyway, it was an uphill battle for us today ... and you probably know that we're not real good uphill. -- Hot Wheels


     Did you guys ever think about bringing some "wildcards" back into the tournament? Just wondering ... -- Bill Walton
