Deeper we march into...March. (Wha?)
*fires writing staff*
Anyway, things tightened up a little in Round 2, although quite a few attractions still had no trouble muscling their way into the Sweet 16. The closest match came in the classics bracket, where Big Thunder rolled out to a big lead and narrowly held on to nip the Bucs by one vote. All three former champions are still alive, although 2 of them will meet up now in the final match of the thrills bracket. I guess I did OK with the seeding, since 5 of the 8 brackets feature 1 vs. 2 this round, and two more have 1 vs. 3.
