BTSC is matched up against The "Mc" Effect in the Sweet 16 Round of the Pittsburgh Sports Blog Tournament!

More to the point, we are currently trailing by a margin of 102-36, so please vote for us!

Or at least let us know why BTSC as a #1 seed should get bounced by a #5 seed.

Voting ends tomorrow (Thursday) at 9 pm eastern time.

UPDATE: As of 2:20 this afternoon, BTSC has surged into the lead, 119-111! Now let's do what we'd always wish the Steelers would and put this contest away right now, instead of riding a nail-biter to the finish.

UPDATE #2: As of 3:00 this afternoon, The "Mc" Effect is in the lead again, 157-153. They're hanging around pretty good.

UPDATE #3: As of 5:40 this afternoon, 500 votes have been logged for our matchup and BTSC is leading, 323-177!

UPDATE #4: As of 7:00 this evening, our lead has been cut down by a huge margin, just 341-311. Game on again.

Rec'd because I feel like pride is on the line too

If there were mini ponies involved in the discussion (as there might be in the next round if PSAMP beats out Steelergurl), I might understand losing because they’re so damn adorable.

I didn’t see any mini ponies on The “Mc” Effect, and as such I see no reason why we should lose at this point (not to discount the fine work that I’m sure they do on that Pirates blog).

106-85….still down a few, but momentum’s ours!

Sounds an awful lot like the third quarter against a certain purple football team in the 2010 playoffs…let’s get after it!

Are you able to vote more than once?

If you can use other computers/mobile devices, that would certainly work

It seems that it allows a kindle fire to vote as many times as you like.

I voted.

I can’t say who I voted for, though, because of voter/blog confidentiality.

we've got this

I just voted and we have a nice lead that should hold up. Also let it be noted that in every other matchup no other site has 1/3 the amount of votes we’ve got right now. I feel confidence right now.

I can't vote again

but if I try it will show me the current standings.
