Well it is here...after a long wait, the second round of my Tournament of Randomocity.  I will have some guest commentators analyze the match-ups in the next rounds or just give you who they expect to win the match-up.  The rules haven't changed.  Just click on the link behind the match-up and that will send you to the voting screen and you may vote as often as you like.  I was surprised by the amount of voters in the Animal Bracket.  Eagle defeated Beaver 1100 votes to 400.  I think some people from Marquette may have been behind that result.  I also had to break a tie in the band bracket.  The Beatles were tied with the Starland Vocal Group at 34 votes a piece.  I cast for The Beatles.  The biggest upset of the tournament came in the Movie Badass Bracket where #16 Mark Borchardt defeated the #1 seed King Leonidas.  Kick-ass!

My guest commentators will be renowned gambling legend Sven the Norwegian, my advice co-columnist Cocky, myself, and a composite of my three stalkers.

On to the next round:
Animal Bracket
#1 Black Mamba vs #8 Tiger

Animal Bracket 1vs8
Me: The black mamba easily defeated the titmouse in round one but I look for an upset by the 8th seeded Tiger because the tiger has stripes and in the wild the stripes come in handy and could easily trick the mamba into striking at the wrong target

#13 Kangaroo vs #12 Koala Animal BRacket 13vs12
Sven: Deese two are da Cinderellas of dis tournament but if'n I's to pick yust one it have to be da kangaroo because he would yump and yump around.

#15 Deer vs #7 Cat

Animal Bracket 15vs7
Stalker:  You left you bathroom light on last night, Godfather.  You need to clean your cats' litter box.

#3 Eagle vs #6 Warthog

Animal Bracket 3vs6
Cocky: We all know the outcome of this one.  My friends down at Marquette will help the Eagle win.  Also I am looking for help from the following institutes of higher learning: Alice Loyd College, American University, Asbury College, Ashland University, Avila University, Oklahoma Wesleyan University, Benedictine University, Biola University, Boston College, Bridgewater College, Carson-Newman College, Central Methodist University, Chadron State College, Cincinnati Christian University, College of St. Elizabeth, Concordia University, Coppin State, Daniel Webster College, Eastern University, Eastern Michigan University, Edgewood College, Embrey-Riddle University, Emory University, Faith Baptist Bible College and Theological Seminary, Faulkner University, Florida Gulf Coast University, Georgia Southern, Green Mountain College, Husson College, Judson College, Juniata College, Lambuth University, Mary Washington College, Messenger College, Midway College, Morehead State, National-Louis University, North Carolina Central University, Northwest College, Nowrthwestern College, Oklahoma Christian University, Pensacola Christian College, Reinhardt College, Robert Morris College, Southwestern College, Trinity Baptist College, Sierra Nevada College, Post University, Toccoa Falls College, University of North Texas, West Coast Baptist College, Winthrop University, and last and certainly least because they turned my application for mascot employment the University of Wisconsin La Crosse.  GO EAGLE!

Band Bracket
#1 Pink Floyd vs #9 Led Zeppelin

Band Bracket 1vs9
Stalker: Godfather has 14 Pink Floyd cds and 7 Led Zeppelin cds.

#4 Weezer vs #5 Radiohead

Band Bracket 4vs5
Me: I am split on this one because these two are two of my favorite bands.  I think I will have to go with Radiohead because of the sheer genius of Thom Yorke and that beats Rivers Cuomo's inverted quirkiness any day.  Oh and Thom Yorke gets bonus points for teaching Miley Cyrus the meaning of humility.

#2 The Beatles vs #10 The Flaming Lips

Band Bracket 2vs10
Cocky: I am going with the Lips here because there was this one time I went to their concert and they have this furry following and these two chicks kept rubbing up on me all night long. 

#3 The Beach Boys vs #11 Wilco

Band Bracket 3vs11
Sven: Dere was some cont'versy over dat Wilco.  Dey beat da Doors.  Dee only person dat beats Da Doors is Jim Morr'son.  Oh if an open door is ajar is an open jar, adoor?

Movie Badass Bracket
#16 Mark Borchardt vs #8 Kahn

Movie Badass Bracket 16vs8
Sven: Mark Borchardt is my hero, ja hey der!  He glorifies us Scandinavian people!

#13 Devil's Rejects vs #12 Tyler Durden/Narrator

Movie Badass Bracket 13vs12
Stalker: Sad and violent

#2 Beatrix Kiddo vs #10 Daniel Plainview

Movie Badass Bracket 2vs10
Me: This match could go either way.  Plainview is the big screen version of Dick Cheney.  Daniel also likes milkshakes.  Beatrix Kiddo kicks ass and takes names and knows the Five Point Palm Exploding Heart Technique.  I think the clincher would be that Beatrix Kiddo looks better in pleather.

#14 The Crow vs #11 Anton Chigurh

Movie Badass Bracket 14vs11
Cocky:  The Crow all the way.  Us birds have to stick together.  Plus all Chigurh had was an air gun that that they use to put down cattle.  The Crow can raise people from the dead to do his unholy bidding just like Dick Cheney.

Random Bracket
#1 Culver's/Ice Cream vs #8 Afghans

Random Bracket 1vs8
Me: This is a toss up because I like ice cream but it makes me cold due to the lack of blood in my body and the afghans warm me up.  I have to go with Culver's because I still remember all those Sunday afternoon drives that ended atthe very fist Culver's.

#4 Shamwow vs #12 Super Nintendo

Random Bracket 4vs12
Stalker: You were playing Tecmo Bowl 3 last night.  I saw through your window.  What are you doing tonight?  I'll just be parked in your driveway until you decide.

#2 Cadbury Mini Eggs vs #7 Asthma Inhalers

Random Bracket 2vs7
Cocky: NO! EGGS!  THE HUMANITY!  Oh wait they're made of chocolate.  Who cares?

#3 Bubble Gum vs #11 Texas Hold'em

Random Bracket 3vs11
Sven: The gambler in me say pick da hold'em but da smart man says pick da gum.  Dis be a tough one.

Ok there you have the second round of the Tournament of Randomocity.  Make sure you vote and vote often.  The polls will close next Sunday.
