Eight spots in the final 16 are booked, with eight more still up for grabs. I'm headed to Wisconsin for a history conference tomorrow, though, so expect blogging to be light for the next few days. (MAN, I've always wanted to make one of these cluelessly self-important 'blogging will be light' posts. And yes it feels as sweet as I hoped.)
