The games are finished and two things are abundantly clear:
- Johns Hopkins cannot find a cure for cancer or an antidote for Syracuse’s midfield; and
- Cracking wise about historical N.C.A.A. lacrosse violations will land you squarely at the bottom of a lacrosse bracket challenge.
In very un-Georgetown fashion, two-time Syracuse graduate John Brennan took home top honors in this year’s edition of the Spectacular. Amassing 27 out of a possible 32 points, Brennan squeezed out a two-point victory over John Sorriento and Lancaster Legends.
The bottom of the leader board, however, is where the action lies. Amassing all of 13 points, I managed to lose the very bracket challenged I sponsored. I failed to tally even a single point after the quarterfinals. With a final pairing of Virginia and Duke, I sealed my fate and karma dealt a cruel hand of despair.
Here’s the final leaderboard (and brackets).
As there was such a logjam at the top of the leader board, fabulous prizes will be awarded to only our top three participants. Once I contact these individuals, prizes will be announced.

At least I got the final game total score right…

Hey Matt,
Is there an email address that I can reach you at?

I am still waiting to be contacted regarding prizes. I hope mine is better than a ticket stub.

Unfortunately, the framed ticket stub prize went out the window (literally).
Top Down on Jeep + Windy Day + Tickets Not Secured = Tickets somewhere between Connecticut and Foxborough.
Everyone will be contacted by the end of the week. Work is really throwing a wrench in things right now.
