And then there were two.  Ladies and Gentlemen, I am pleased to announce that the participants in PYX Bowl VIII, are Brent Van Wieren and Matt Cushman.

Matt Cushman pulled out another miraculous upset!  He defeats the powerful Jay Zink in straight up picks.  Jay went for New Orleans while Matt stuck with the home team, Chicago.  It paid off. 

Now Cushman goes into uncharted territory...the PYX Bowl!!

Brent Van Wieren ended Al Nowak's greatest season.  Just like Cushman, Brent went for the Bears over the Saints.  Al took the gamble and put everything on the Saints. 

So Van Wieren makes his way into his third PYX Bowl.

RECAP

Matt Cushman defeats Jay Zink, 2 to 1

Brent Van Wieren defeats Al Nowak, 2 to 1

 

Both away teams were victorious and so here is PYX Bowl VIII:

MATT CUSHMAN vs. BRENT VAN WIEREN
This is the battle between the expansion team and last year's PYX Bowl runner-up.  You could almost call it David versus Goliath. 

Brent has never played Matt head-to-head...so there is no historical data to go by.  What we do know is that a Hamiltonian is playing in the PYX Bowl for the 6th time out of 8 years.  4 out of the past 7 seasons has seen a Hamiltonian win the PYX Bowl, will Brent add a 5th trophy to the trophy case?

And then there is the improbable Cushman story.  He had to lobby and campaign just to be re-admitted to the league.  He narrowly was permitted admission after a vote by the PYX Supreme Court.  He goes and wins his division (a division of previous PYX Champions), he pulls an upset of Thomas Van Dyke, pulls another upset of defending PYX Bowl Champion Gay Bonn, and in the biggest upset of the year, he defeats #1 seed Jay Zink who had the best record in the league.

Bring on the PYX Bowl!!!

 Your Commish,
