Pixies Win 2014 Stormtrooper Award!!

  Quite the year for The Pixies.  On the verge of releasing their first album ("Indie Cindy") in 23 years,  Tony Signore tabbed them to be a middle of the road 11-seed, and not too much was expected of them.  Before The Pixies knew what was going on, spending an hour driving around looking for the assigner's office and discovered they would be heading to Tippecanoe drawing an emotional match with Ewing favorite 6-seeded Warren Zevon.   We all remember that first week:  The Pixies took down Zevon.  The next week paired up the Pixies with 3-The Rolling Stones, in their 3rd straight year of being one of the best bands in The Star Wars.  The Pixies played well and knocked off The Rolling Stones and Tippecanoe was in turmoil!  Fans began frantically marking up their brackets.  Brackets were busted!  The Pixies kept advancing!  Paired up the next week with 10-Niko Case: a former Star Wars Champion and Case had proved her clout by taking down 2-The Beatles in the week before.  The Pixies prevailed again, taking down Niko Case and getting a much publicized game with the Top-ranked 1-George Harrison.  Harrison was able to hold off The Pixies and brought their season to an end, but for an 11-seed to go 3-1 was a great run.  The Pixies will be back next year with some well-deserved immunities.

Pixie coach Tony Signore was largely unavailable to promote The Pixie's run as he is still seen going through the motions of pretending he is a huge REO Speedwagon fan.  "Whah.  Me can't decide if I should get their Greatest Hits or maybe that Tuna Fish one.  I really like  "Im A Gonna Keep On Loving You"- "Love that song, the lyrics are so deep, and powerful to a man like me....I think it's super!  Hey Sausage, book me a ticket to the Lowell Livestock and Feed Show in August- I hear REO and Kansas are doing a show- I want to hear me some RGO Speedwagon!!  I'm a fan you know!!"
 Secretly, you know Tony is actually praying for one more ounce of magic by The Old Crow Medicine Show....

Devo Vs Deke Dickerson:  Deke's great run probably ends here but I tip my energy dome to ol Deke. He beat down 1-seed Chris Rea and fan favorite 4-The Cramps.  Ewing will not forget that and promises Deke will be back next year.  Guest host Jim Bob Ewing insists on getting a vinyl copy of  "Duty Now for the Future", not sure how we handle that, but we'll let it play out.  Devo does not have this game in the bag by any means, can't wait to watch it.  Who wants the Ukraine? 

Today's games:
 4-REO vs 7-Old Crow will decide The Hick today. 
8-Deke Dickerson vs 2-Devo will decide The Ukraine. 

Tippecanoe Winner:  1-George Harrison.  (The late Harrison wins his 2nd Kirby Kyle Award!)
Stonewall Winner:  2-Roxy Music (great OT game beating Tony's 1-ranked overall team Wilco)
