Elite 8: Kate Upton vs. Mila Kunis, Bill Simmons vs. Gus Johnson

View the entire bracket here.
The Sweet 16 matchups ended yesterday with nary a surprise. I was slightly disappointed the Wonder Years was eliminated; I actually found myself engrossed in reading up on the show Monday morning while looking up old Kevin Arnold videos. I’d say the Upton/Kunis winner ends up champ, but at this point, can you really underestimate Jimmer Fredette? From the other side of the bracket, Bill Simmons is quietly handling his business. Does he stand a chance against Gus Johnson? Scott Van Pelt was just happy to get one vote.
Jimmer Fredette vs. Blake Griffin's Dunking Ability
- 7. Blake Griffin's Dunking Ability (68%, 1,455 Votes)
- 16. Jimmer Fredette (32%, 696 Votes)
Total Voters: 2,150
Kate Upton vs. Mila Kunis
- 1. Kate Upton (63%, 1,484 Votes)
- 6. Mila Kunis (37%, 863 Votes)
Total Voters: 2,346
Jim Tressel Cheating vs. DeSean Jackson's Punt Return Against the Giants
- 6. DeSean Jackson's punt return vs. the Giants (59%, 1,202 Votes)
- 1. Jim Tressel Cheating (41%, 848 Votes)
Total Voters: 2,050
Bill Simmons vs. Gus Johnson
- 1. Bill Simmons (52%, 1,091 Votes)
- 2. Gus Johnson (48%, 988 Votes)
Total Voters: 2,079
This is in hopes that all the Ohio folks don’t vote for Jim Tressel. Since Bill Simmons and Kate Upton seem like locks to reach the Final Four, who wants to see a third No. 1 seed advance?

With those pictures, how does Kunis have a chance?
/she should never have made it this far

Kate Upton bringing the heat today, wow.

We are taking names down of anyone that votes for Kunis over Upton. Show yourselves!!
August 30th, 2011 at 10:06 AM
really? because I was slightly disappointed that a show that has been off the air for 20+ years was in a 2011 culture tournament in the first place.
August 30th, 2011 at 10:06 AM
Guilty. I’m going down with this ship.
August 30th, 2011 at 10:07 AM
Make sure CRM doesn’t start voting as banned commenters in the Jimmer/Griffin match up.

wait a minute. gus johnson beat SVP that bad? holy shit.
August 30th, 2011 at 10:07 AM
The DeSean TD return is turning into the dark horse of this tournament. Must be lots of Philly lurkers/Giants haters.
August 30th, 2011 at 10:09 AM
why the fuck would we vote for jim tressel? you really think we want him winning this?
August 30th, 2011 at 10:09 AM
This whole thing continues to make no sense.
How is a punt return in a regular season NFL game “culturally” significant to sports?

I voted for Kunis.
Kate Upton has skank face and she looks like she’s not into skinny white guys.
August 30th, 2011 at 10:11 AM
TBL clearly favoring the Upton win by putting these two pics next to each other. Probably wants to tweet to her about it in the end.
August 30th, 2011 at 10:11 AM
Incredible restraint shown by Tom Coughlin, not punching your punter in the face on live tv is the truest sign of a Super Bowl winning coach.
August 30th, 2011 at 10:11 AM

The commenters here are fucked in the head is what I get out of that. Let’s just hand the title to Upton and forget this charade never happened.
August 30th, 2011 at 10:11 AM
I voted for Kunis! She seems cool.

We should have been seeing a hot sweaty match-up of Decker and Upton.
August 30th, 2011 at 10:15 AM
well, it’s not like Kunis is in bikini photos on Getty.
Also, Kunis went up against bikini screen grabs of Brooklyn Decker and won that one.
August 30th, 2011 at 10:15 AM

I just feel Kunis is more culturally at this time.

It’s been a nice run Kunis.
August 30th, 2011 at 10:16 AM
All this is making me want to go from disliking to hating Gus Johnson. He is a shitty announcer that doesn’t prepare for his job and CBS didn’t want to keep. Baffling. In fact, Jarring.
August 30th, 2011 at 10:17 AM
If it doesn’t happen, there is a good chance another team would’ve won the Super Bowl.
August 30th, 2011 at 10:17 AM
Jimmer is fucking gay and everyone is tired of him.
August 30th, 2011 at 10:17 AM

I like Gus Johnson, especially during March Madness, but the love he is getting in this tournament makes me think he is a demigod to the non-commenting silent majority..

I didn’t vote in the Simmons-Gus Johnson matchup. I read the dog article by Simmons and that is it, and I can’t stand Gus Johnson, so I felt like I should abstain.
August 30th, 2011 at 10:24 AM

it’s not like i morally abstain. i’m simply unable to make a comparison between some of the matchups b/c they don’t make sense.

It needs to be said because it’s not like it isn’t obvious, but Kate Upton just absolutely kills it in that photo.
August 30th, 2011 at 10:26 AM
Me! No, no, never Upton!
August 30th, 2011 at 10:26 AM

My theory is the ADD nature of the internet. If you see a movie on youtube that is broken into parts the amount views drastically decreases through segments. Generally the 4th bracket will have the least amount of votes. In fact the first bracket usually has the most votes and in vote count decreases from there. Upton being today’s exception because people online will always make time for her.
August 30th, 2011 at 10:26 AM
wow, the lack of slutty Mila Kunis pictures on google really is slightly disturbing.
August 30th, 2011 at 10:27 AM
Which also makes sense as to why the boobie match ups always have the most votes. Everyone has a side to pick there.

TBL you going to do anymore on the Critteton thing? it’s not looking real good for him. it’s odd that he’d get caught up in this and the gilbert thing considering he was a standout student/athlete coming outta HS.

August 30th, 2011 at 10:30 AM
Mila Kunis seems like a cool chick, is funny, exotic and totally hot. I’d take her home to mom. But there is something incredibly carnal about Kate Upton.

Guys, the Macaulay Culkin news is great for you. I’m sure you all think you’re infinitely more attractive with a better personality than Culkin. If she would go for him, there’s a definite chance she’d go for you. Kate Upton wouldn’t give you the time of day and would laugh in your face if you tried to talk to her.

August 30th, 2011 at 10:46 AM
Both are unattainable, this argument isn’t a factor. It’s as simple as it seems – Who’s hotter (to you)?

Their ‘code’ its a bad joke.
August 30th, 2011 at 10:46 AM
We’ve both weighed in on our girl crushes for Mila before. Look, it comes down to this: this is a culture tournament so you really should be taking all factors in when deciding which girl you choose, I believe. One of these girls is probably like talking to a wall. Mila is funny AND hot. But yeah, whatever, just vote for which bewbs you like the best.
