My college announced that it is closing and today is the last day, so I'm just gonna be buried in this transition mess. I hope to get the next match up tonight. Sorry for the stutter start

I saw the announcement in Facebook's trending topics, and thought of you, Stip. Hope things transition well, and you're not long out of work.

Well, I'm glad you've got something lined up, Stip. That's good news. But I'm so sorry to hear about the closing. I saw your Facebook post. It was moving and heartfelt and I feel terribly for the staff and students. Best of luck with the transition.

So NY vs Homer's Night Out/Australia vs Lisa's Sax were correct, NY vs Australia was wrong?

Yes.
I was confused when I asked which were the incorrect matchups, stip answered "NY vs Homer's Night out and Australia vs Lisa's Sax", and then followed up with a sentence that contradicted it.

I am going to be away this afternoon through Tuesday, so I'm putting up two rounds worth of matches open through the weekend.

Man, with this amount of dedication this place would do better as a Simpsons fan forum.
