March Madness

As I'm sure you have noticed, it's tournament time in the world of college basketball. A time where we all murder about a million trees to print off twenty different brackets, half of which we crumple up and throw away as we struggle to make winning picks before the games begin, the other half we tear to shreds as you realize that somehow, someway, you were the only one that didn't realize that the nine-seeded UAB Dragons would upset the one-seeded Arizona Wildcats. I cannot put the frustrations suffered by sports fans betting on brackets into socially acceptable words.

That being said, I wanted to take the moment I had today to come here and announce a "friendly" little competition between my partner and I. We will both be filling out a bracket this year, and to steal a little something from Mike and Mike in the morning, we have decided to place a bet on it. Obviously we don't have the resources they do, so something high in glam (like their bet this year) isn't an option for us. But I have to say, I think we have come up with something good. The loser will be forced to partake in a weekends bar hopping completely decked out in the sports gear of the others favorite teams. Considering that I cheer for Pittsburgh teams and Hilt pulls for Cincinnati, the loser should be pained by what they will have to cloth themselves with. The amount of black and gold that will adorn Hilt if......when he loses will be nothing short of hilarious.

We'll keep everyone updated as to the standings once we get our brackets filled out and will try to get them posted here. In the mean time, keep your eyes on the website for some upcoming posts and tune into our podcast.

  1. Your link is broken :( I looked for your podcasts on u-stream, but I couldn't find anything. Maybe Nick should post a link to your podcast on his website or somewhere so that interested parties can find it.
