March Madness
March 12th, 2005 at 2:18 pm by Preston Taylor HolmesSUNDAY UPDATE:
I’ve come up with an idea to sweeten the pot in this “Six Meat Buffet Basketball Challenge”. Since a couple of bloggers have already signed up, if a blogger wins, I’ll run an ad for them for two weeks free. While I only get between 300-600 unique visits per day (according to Site Meter), that’s better than nothing and would be the monetary equivalent of a couple of Hardees™ Thickburgers.
If you’re just a reader, I’ll either run an ad for your favorite blog (assuming it’s not Six Meat Buffet) or make a $25 donation to your favorite charity – no political candidates or parties, please. I realize that’s not much, but I’m not George Soros over here, for crying out loud.
More Info on the Six Meat Buffet Basketball Challenge:
I haven’t watched much basketball this season – I never do. When your favorite college team is Tennessee, you don’t have much reason to watch.
However, when March rolls around, I tune in and the brackets start flying. This gave me an idea – I’m starting a group at ESPN.Com and I thought it would be fun of a bunch of us filled out brackets and had a contest. You don’t have to be a fellow blogger – all would be welcome to join up and play. I don’t know what kind of prize would be involved (if any) other than bragging rights and the satisfaction of knowing you’re a better guesser than the rest of us.
If you want in, go to ESPN.Com, register to play, create a team and shoot me an e-mail for the password. Hopefully we can get a big-ass group up and talk a bunch of smack.
You have until Thursday morning around 10 am EST to sign up!
UPDATE 2:
Currently wireless-blogging from the back deck in sunny mid-60 degree weather. Absolutely gorgeous day here in Knoxpatch. All this peace and tranquility will be destroyed when the young-uns get up from their naps, so I better enjoy it while I can.

I’ll give it a go. I do every year despite the fact I hate college basketball. Send me the password if you will.

The only madness I partake of in March is spring break!
I do miss watching basketball though…I am sure you will keep us posted?

How about you keep us informed about Spring Break madness – that sounds way more interesting than b-ball.

As a fan of the USC Gamecocks, I can sympathize on the no reason to fool with spring basketball. At least rugby is still going on

Well, PTH, the madness is quite what is was when I was in college. So, I could, but I don’t think it to be as interesting as you think…

I Don’t Think I’m A Basketball Fan Anymore
So there I was last night watching a combination of the History Channel and the Military Channel. I didn’t even realize the NCAA Championship game was on. I knew who was playing in it and even though the teams were…
