2021 FALAFEL Draft Location Madness - Elite 8

 

Elite Eight Thoughts:

  • The Esco HiveMind moves on, with Portland and Burlington seemingly on a collision course in the Final Four. 
    • Chicago has barely advanced in both rounds, despite being a pretty ideal city to visit in August, so I don't anticipate much of a fight in the Bottom Left.
    • Poconos vs. Portland is going to be interesting, as they are the locations with the most combined votes in the first two rounds. I honestly don't see much of a difference between them, with housing likely better in the Poconos, and more of a downtown available in Portland. Convenience is the major differentiator here: Is a five hour drive from NYC or unnecessary flight worth having a downtown for over the 2 hour Poconos commute?
  • Austin vs. Asheville is a classic Big Brother/Little Brother matchup. The weather in Asheville is the big Pro in my book, and makes up for the obvious convenience factor with Austin on my end.
  • The Bottom Right seems like we'll be going through the motions as I can't see any scenario where the Jersey Shore wins, and this once again doesn't seem like Pittsburgh's year.
