Battle of the Bands Results: Sarah McLachlan flies away with it

 The Battle of the Bands results for Blackbird are in. Sarah McLachlan flies away with it defeating the legendary folk rockers Crosby, Stills and Nash 4 to 1.

After the win she was found "Fumbling Towards Ecstasy"

Some say the wait for results was "Building a Mystery"

She stated "I Will Remember You"

She was graceful and dedicated "Fallen" to CSN

Apparently CSN had "Sweet Surrender"

I made all that up, but she won 4 to 1.

Congratulations to the Mississippi State Bulldogs for their first Championship

Winning a championship is always special. When the Mississippi State Bulldogs baseball team won the College World Series last month the school earned their first baseball championship and the school's first athletic championship in 126 years of competing.
