The Shite Sixteen comes down to this.
Coming from the Cleveland Circle/ACC Division, Mary Ann’s was a favorite to make it here but certainly wasn’t untested along the way. Punter’s Pub, hailing from the Conference of The Fenway had an easier time along the way. That’s all in the past now – whether large margins of victory or just a few votes, the showdown of the century is today.
This is your official voting post, and the vote to crown a champion of the tournament will be held here. Unlike our other votes, the Championship bout will last a little longer, going all the way through Friday afternoon and closing at 5 p.m. (EDT, natch). In the morning, our two author’s who have adopted these bars will be adding some more commentary, so look for that.
So, who will take home the first ever Shite Sixteen crown?
The Diviest in All the Hub

- (2) Punter's Pub (47%, 786 Votes)
Total Voters: 1,685

[…] I don’t get to see you too frequently these days, but you’ll always own a special place in my heart. No, our hearts. You never let us down with your Hot Shot Basketball, Big Buck Hunter, random lines on Tuesday nights, and lack of electronic payment methods. We–the people of Boston–thank you for all you have been, currently are, and will continue to be; the best dive bar in the city. I know that others passionately agree and will #voteMAs. […]
[…] I hate that I love you. I hate that I want people to vote for you. […]
