Can you feel the madness consuming you yet? Mustaches, mustaches, mustaches! We're even considering posting pictures of ourselves with mustaches during the Final Four.
Even the Web world has caught on, with Mustache Madness making its way into link format on Deadspin.com, Yardbarker.com, Stickandballguy.com and elsewhere. We appreciate your support for the Madness.
There were two monster upsets in the Sweet Sixteen. Bobby Nystrom pulled an Arizona and exited early as a No. 1 seed. Sal Fasano, as powerful a 2-seed in any tournament's history, pulled a Duke and lost to upstart No. 3 Joe Namath.
Now commence with voting for the Elite Eight. You've got until Thursday night to support your favorite mustache. We made the set up a bit easier this time, again. View the mustache-to-mustache matchup, then click VOTE to cast your ballot. There are some monster matchups in this round.

I like this game; I'm only sorry I didn't get in on the fun earlier. Next you're going to have to do it with Newsday employees. Steve Matthews wins! Mark, wasn't it you who said to never trust a guy with a mustache?
what's that powdery white stuff on keith hernandez' mustache?
ummmm,...i am sorry, but i ain't gonna vote for this crap. how does jeff kent get in a NY sports bracket for mustache and Mike Piazza's doesn't, sorry, this thing sucks
i don't see how anyone can in good conscience vote for Namath. i understand he's broadway joe but he isn't really known for the 'stache like the others on the list.
keith all the way baby!
What about Rollie Fingers? He had the funkiest mustache of them all.
Yeah, check out Rollie Fingers. He'd win if anybody even remembered him.
