At the Gala, Tony Signore followed this Stormtrooper around like a young puppy.
Pink Floyd Pinks up the 2010 Stormtrooper Award!!
Pink Floyd, almost an afterthought for Mark Ewing, entered the 2010 Stars Wars as just a 12-seed in the East. Bruce Springsteen and The Drive By Truckers get all the press, and deservely so. In the First Round of games, The Pink Floyd paired up with the 05-Radiohead. Tony Signore had been talking quite a bit about wanting some more Radiohead, so the fans understood his ranking them at 5. Pink Floyd beat the Radiohead. Another brick....never mind.
Floyd advanced to the next round. 04-The Fountains of Wayne were waiting for them like a mug. It was a jump ball, and Pink Floyd got it. They never looked back and won the game, eliminating Tony's 4th and 5th seeds in one weekend. For their great play, the pick up a StromTrooper Award for the lowest seeded team advancing to the Sweet 16. Pink Floyd has a tough task taking on 01- Bruce Springsteen, but some fans will watch anxiously for The Pink Floyd to ring the division bell.
Honorable Mention:
11-Kid Rock: knocking off 06-REM and 03-She&Him. Good job to rookie coach Sandy Ewing as well;
09 Hank Williams: knocking off 08-Elvis Costello, but then the HUGE upset of 01-Devo.
10- Dire Straits: knocks off 07-Ray Wiley Hubbard, THEN upsets 02-Jackson Browne.
14-The Pretenders: Big upset of 03Wilco in Round One, almost beat 06-Foreigner in round two.

"Pink Floyd should be very proud", said Star Wars Grand Wizard Mark Ewing. "They are now immortal like the former King of England Napoleon Bonaparte."
