Quarterfinal Recap

Montoya

In the immortal words of Vince Lombardi, "What the hell is going on out there?" It was a terrible, terrible day for FC Hang. As the one on the Markinson bubble, I was rooting for all favorites, and 3 of them fell. Help me Andrew's Proper Villains, you're my only hope.

The league champ took care of business with a 163-125 pounding of Lisa, who had a great week herself but just ran into a buzzsaw. Lisa's hopes for a return to Markinson are now dashed.

The biggest shocker was Scott ending Hubert's 9-playoff-game and 3-playoff-cup winning streaks. Scott has never missed Markinson, and he still has hopes of keeping that streak alive.

Gina took down Jeremy, and next up is a showdown with Scott to see who will be playing in the finals for a ticket to the big show.

DanFran took me down for the second straight week, and now he gets the league champ. If he beats Andrew, my Markinson bid will be toast, and his hopes for a first ever bid will remain alive.

Dufresne

Russell had a much better day. Also on the bubble, he too was rooting for the favorites, and 3 of them came through, including himself. Only Drew fell short, and Amer is now the only potential spoiler after a 159-122 win. Amer has yet to miss qualifying for Markinson, and next up he'll face league champ Dean to keep his hopes alive.

Dean easily knocked off Eddy but should expect a much stiffer challenge from Amer. We know who Russell will be rooting for. A win by Dean guarantees Russell's first ever Markinson bid.

Russell beat Jason, which means Jason will miss Markinson for the first time ever. Markinson will miss the Texas All Stars, too.

Next up for Russell is Nalu, who took care of Steve in a matchup of the two newest managers. Nalu had a similar first season to Steve's, so we'll expect Steve to follow Nalu's lead and step it up next season.

Consolation games still count toward your career record, so stay focused! And go Andrew!
