The 2007 Basketball Challenge
March 12th, 2007 at 12:05 am by Preston Taylor Holmes
It’s that time again – time for the Six Meat Basketball Challenge. For the third straight year, we invite you, the reader, fellow-blogger or frequent commenter, to join in the March Madness fracas.
How do you do it? Just go to ESPN, create an entry and join the group “SixMeatChallenge”. You’ll need a password, and for that, you’ll need to email me at preston-@-sixmeatbuffet-dot-com.
What’s the prize? Well, over the past few years, it’s been a free month-long blog ad for a couple of lucky bloggers. This year, I’m not sure, but we’ll come up with something.
You’ll need to make your picks by Thursday morning, so don’t delay.
UPDATE:
So far we’ve got myself, Billy, Annika and Yiddish Steel. Where are the rest of you? Smantix? Deliverance? Cranky? What the hell?
UPDATE 2:
That’s better. Smantix is in. Hector is in. Matt is in. Lord Nazh is in. Former champ Deliverance is in. Basil is in. JammieWearingFool is in. Sharon says she’s in, but I haven’t seen her team join the group yet. The list continues to grow. Don’t be left out, cave to the lethal combination of peer pressure, gambling addiction and alcohol abuse.

OK, Y’all…I’m in.
What are the odds I’ll be picking the Bruins to get to the Final 4?

Where the hell are the rest of you people? Is it just going to be me and Billy? If so, that’s just sad.

But…but…I hate basketball!
Basketball is for faggots!
March 12th, 2007 at 8:28 pm
I’m in, as always, someone needs to show you losers how to pick ‘em.
March 12th, 2007 at 10:14 pm
Oh, I’m in. I wouldn’t miss the chance to get a free month of advertising on here.
March 13th, 2007 at 2:38 pm
Sorry. I’ve been running behind after being out of town last week. I’m in. Please email me the password to habuzcar@yahoo.com
March 13th, 2007 at 6:57 pm
OK, I’m in. Good luck everyone.

Sent my email to you just a few minutes ago Preston

Aight. I’m up in this mug now.

Jammie, you need to work on your smack talk. Instead of “Good Luck,” you should say something like “Now the rest of you die, and you die slow.”
Keep on trying.

If nothing else, my bracket should win “most original”

Preston, after I go 32-0 in the opening round, I’ll be talking more trash than is legally allowed in the lower 48 states and Canada. Coming out of the Bronx playgrounds, we pretty much invented smacktalk.
Suitably chastened, never again will I wish anyone good luck. BTW, I’ll take that girl kissing the trophy as my prize.

While I was nearly denied the right to participate because I made the mistake of respectfully requesting the password…..I wont make that mistake again…..
Just so’s ya know I let my Border Collie fill out my picks…..
She’s smarter than me….and better at almost every sport….

Yes! Now I’ll finish no worse than second to last!
March 15th, 2007 at 2:25 am
I just finished mine. I’m so there and ready to win my free month of ad space.
I’m designing my ad logo with Barack Obama and a peace sign.
Good Lord, I’m getting as vicious as y’all!
March 15th, 2007 at 11:57 am
I’m entitled to win at least one of them, right?…
I have, over the past three days, been sucked into no less than five March Madness challenge thingies. I was really going to try not to pay as much attention this year, but I know my self well enough that……

Shite…………
Well stik’s dog was doing pretty good in todays early games till he realized he had Texas A&M cc beating Wisconsin.
Stupid dog thought it was the “real”Texas A&M.
What the hell does cc stand for anyway…..Annika?…Beth?
March 15th, 2007 at 6:17 pm
Community College?
March 15th, 2007 at 6:53 pm
What are you saying? That because Obama is black that he likes basketball? That’s just racist.
March 15th, 2007 at 8:49 pm
Smantix,
You kill me!
March 15th, 2007 at 10:56 pm
FYI Stinks, CC stands for Corpus Christi.
Not that it will matter.
Go Bruins!

Stik…your dog is freakin’ brilliant…
15 minutes left and TAMCC is beating Wisconsin…
