13th Annual FALAFEL Draft Location Madness - Elite 8 Results and Final 4 Voting

 




Elite Eight Thoughts:
  • Chalk Chalk Chalk Chalk - Despite all the 2 seeds getting knocked out before this round, we end up with the most boring Final Four possible. It's only happened once in NCAA tournament history, and I feel like this is the second time for our bracket? Regardless, I guess this means we all submitted cities that we actually wanted to go to, so maybe that's a good thing.
  • Tampa Update - The Tampa Crew got one more on board for this round, with Weissbard succumbing to peer pressure, or else really hating the thought of Atlanta. Kansas City followed by Pitt/Minny will be tougher tests, but Tampa still seems like the overall favorite.
  • Friday Night Activities - Just a reminder that there are MLB games in Kansas City, Minneapolis, and Pittsburgh on the Friday night of draft weekend. I'm sure Tampa has a great video game bar that we can hang out at.
  • City Spotlight: Kansas City - Along with the aforementioned MLB game, Kansas City has pretty much everything we could ask for in a Draft City. Easy flight for everyone, world-renowned BBQ, plenty of AirBnBs, the Negro League museum, and a 60% chance of running into Taylor Swift. The weather is also considerably better than a more southern city would have.
