As the Final Four draws closer, so does the conclusion of our 2008 Pittsburgh Bloggers March Madness Challenge. And like the Final Four, we’re also down to four possible winners. I’ve taken time out of my busy schedule of drinking Miller High Life, wrestling with my 10lb. shih-tzu (I’m undefeated), and playing Super Smash Bros. Brawl to crunch the numbers and present you with the possible winning scenarios and a little about each of the players in the hunt

Mike Rizzo – Rizzo Sports – Mike has an unwavering devotion to local sports and a weekly TV gig on Kittanning’s FLTV, which I’m insanely jealous of. He’ll win if Kansas wins the title *OR* he can clinch with a Kansas/Memphis final.

Jim Lokay – KDKA – He holds dominion over your puny traffic destinies every morning on KDKA. Again, I’m insanely jealous, but it has a lot to do with him sharing a desk with the super foxy Sonni Abatta and occasionally, the almost as hot, Allison Morris. Jim wins with a UCLA title win.

Lynsie Camuso – ShowClix – She’s one of the founders of ShowClix, a local mobile ticketing start-up. I like her because she didn’t make fun of me when I told her that sometimes I’m late for work because I’m watching reruns of Angel on TNT in the morning. Lynsie takes the top spot with a Tarheels win in the title game.

Locobone – Locobone’s Periphery – He’s a mysterious Steelers-hater, so if you’re looking for a heel to boo in this fight, I’m pretty sure Locobone is your guy. He needs a UNC/Memphis final, followed by a Memphis title game win.
