Hats off! Along the street there comes A blare of bugles, a ruffle of drums,
A flash of color beneath the sky: Hats off! The flag is passing by." -- Henry Holcomb Bennett

Illinois against Missouri and then the winner of Iowa/Wisconsin? Well, that's an easy walk toward the North championship round for Illinois.
ReplyDeleteWow, looking through this it seems mostly a battle of "least worst"! WA vs. ID? MI vs. KS?? SD vs. MT??? DE vs. WV???? Ouch ouch ouch... Still, looks like fun, heh. Will probably end up a battle between Alaska or New Mexico, Ohio, Maryland, and maybe Tennessee, I'd bet. Two lovely minimalist flags (AK & NM) from the "West" vs. two absurd flags (OH & MD), plus some wildcard from the South. That's my prediction anyway!
