So, I’m happily typing away… typetypetype…  Email everyone and their brother regarding making it into the Sweet Sixteen at Loose ID.  Then it dawns on me…  What are all the other steps called… 
 
Me:  Baby, the college basketball thingie.  It’s called the Sweet Sixteen, right?
*He stops playing with his computer and gives me that “you’re seriously asking me this?” look.*
Mr. Kyle:  Yeah.
Me:  And then it’s the… *checks compu* Elite Eight.
*He sighs*
Mr. Kyle:  Yeah, baby.
*I am undeterred*
Me:  Then the Final Four.
*He’s given up and gives me his undivided attention*
Mr. Kyle: Yes.
*He’s getting short now*
Me:  But what about the final two?
Mr. Kyle: It’s the finals.  They’re the finalists.
Me:  But what are they called?
Mr. Kyle:  The finalists.
Me:  But what’s their cute name?
Mr. Kyle:  FINALS
*Swear to God, he spoke in all caps. I want to learn how to do that.*
Me: But they had the alliteration thing going…
 
He got disgusted then and turned back to his compu and I was left with no answer.  It’s sad, right?  The guys who did the whole alliteration/naming thing for the NCAA tournament should have come up with something better than finals or finalists.  They’ve got the Sweet Sixteen, Elite Eight and Final Four… How about the Tornado Two cause they swept the competition or something?
