The title is a reference to an alt rock band from Texas that was moderately popular during the early 2000s. The origin of their name was taken from an ancient Mayan religious ritual chant.

I feel it is the most fitting description of the current state of the Stacker Sports 2024 March Madness Survivor Pool. One day, half the pool dead. Not much surviving happening yesterday. The falling bodies started when @stacksatstoday did not enter a first round pick in time and maybe that was a bad omen for the day because @tnuts420 got taken out with a Mississippi State loss. @Undisciplined and @siggy47 fell with BYU. The carnage continued into the evening as @wumbo lost in a huge upset with Kentucky and @gnilma was axed with Texas Tech.

It could have all been much worse if not for a little help from the refs sealing Kansas a victory. @StillStackinAfterAllTheseYears and @kr reaped the benefit of a late incorrect foul call on a clear, clean block that sealed the game for the Jayhawks but a win is a win. @Turdinthepunchbowl and @pj had a much easier path to victory with Illinois and Gonzaga.

@Bell_curve and I will be tested today.

To all the stackers that are now eliminated. You will not be forgotten. Thanks for playing.

Round two picks will be posted as soon as possible tonight. The last game is scheduled for 10pm. I will likely work on the post while that game is going so I can have it out as soon as it is over or no longer in doubt. Post will come from the @themadnessking account and I will tag all the players remaining who need to get 2nd round picks in asap.

Sats for all, GR
