Sweet 16: Badgerdiver vs. Thomassova4

What does "The Miami Hurricane’s ascent to the NCAA tournament was a team effort" have to do with swaying off topic? It introduced jack mcclinton as the leader of it. you are simply misquoting me.

Very well, if i were to face you in the finals, it would be done before it started.

With I prevailing, of course.

Kudos - I concede the point.  The aforementioned quote has nothing to do with staying on topic; however, the quote illustrates nicely the following point.  It generally isn't advisable to critique the work of others until one has perfected his or her own. 

All in good fun for sure ... as I conceded the first point, I will concede to the fact that my run most likely ends here.  Good luck to all - this has been a really good time.  I hope I have the pleasure of getting in the mix next season too.  I will, however, enjoy my new role as a "Super Delegate" should I not advance to the elite eight.  My vote will have to be earned for sure.  Individual support runs deep on this thread.  I will remain neutral and vote for the best avatar, I mean essay ...

Cheers to all!

The voting is only 20 points of the total 100

You can still win overall.

Last round i lost voting 9-11 and i still moved on.

and as for the criticism, that's a part of life.

I'll take and adhere to any i receive, as an open mind is usual better than a closed one.

Dude,

I'm pretty sure I'm not going to pull this one off.  Not to mention, I think my essay ended up being flavor of the week (Curry).  Badgerdiver should get serious style points for his pick and his essay.

In any event, in the name of good sportsmanship and my irritation with the improper use of the apostrophe, here's my constructive criticism to you.  Hurricanes in a plural possessive form would be Hurricanes' (as an aside, according to the Texas Manual of Style Hurricanes's would now be acceptable too) and not Hurricane's.  Just a bit of criticism ...

Good times indeed ...
