About these tweets: Moons reached out to the target of his pun – Stanford TE Devon Cajuste – and got a vote from him in Round 1. When I read Tom’s tweet, I thought: “I wish I could be that clever.”
#3 vs #2
What though the odds be great or small, we're gonna need some hard alcohol.

About these tweets: The impressive part of CBus’s photoshop work? He did it on his phone while waiting for a roller coaster. Sad trombone. Asking me to pick my favorite Nina tweet in this tourney is a Sophie’s Choice I’m not willing to attempt. Moses and Nina tied. My contest, my rules. Both advance.
Don’t forget to vote in the other half of our bracket – the Sick Burns / Hubris Regions – here.
