The BS Bracket Challenge Extravaganza Returns


And this time, we hope not to bump into a maximum number of entrants as we did last year.

I've created a group on ESPN's Tournament Challenge page and you'll want to join the group emblazoned with "Boiled Sports," or group 3809.

So not only will the winner win valuable prizes (not really) if they win the BS challenge, they might also win $10,000 for winning the ESPN challenge. (Which, really, ESPN? Only ten grand? For something 3 or 4 million people enter? Weak.)

Yes, we'll remind you more about it, but you know you don't want to miss this. There's nothing more fun than proving how much more you know about college basketball than us. And the winner gets all sorts of trappings, including:

-- Free reign for their own guest post on Boiled Sports (now read by tens of people!)

-- Guest-spot on the Handsome Hour on April 7

-- A date with Boilerdowd's son (this may seem odd, but he meets all sorts of famous basketball players, so it's a worthwhile prize)

-- A night of passion with Tim

-- As-yet-undetermined prizes

I'm in. Will be interesting to see how far everyone has the Boilers going.

Ahh, finally a bracket where my emotional attachments forcing me to put Purdue farther than anyone would consider reasonable will not destroy my chances -- merely keep the playing field level.

I'm in.

Im back and ready to take it again this year. however im have a new handle this year its BTFU&&THWND

J Money said...

And that stands for what?

Delaware Boiler said...

I currently go to St Joseph's in Philly so THWND stands for The Hawk Will Never Die. According to the Talking Heads at SI

12. Go to a Saint Joseph's basketball game and shout "The Hawk will never die!" -- the most defiant cheer in college sports.

That chant goes at the end of any game or any time an opposing section says that the Hawk is dead or dying.

If I don't win, can I cry/pout/bat my eyelashes and at least get the date with Lil Boilerdowd? Isn't that part of my reign as CEO of the Pretty Fifteen Minutes?

Oh wait. I just read the night of passion. I feel like that would be borderline weird.

No. It would be weird. I just won't claim that prize.

Tim said...

What do you mean? That's a good prize!

Terry Hutchens thinks the Paint Crew should be more sensitive to Derek Elston's feelings. What a joke.

I'm in... probably the last year I can use the handle Kramer's Cougar!!

BTW, that hawk is annoying!! I could barely handle seeing that thing when we played St. Joe's.

You're not old-enough to be a cougar!!

J Money said...

Dear lord, Hutchens rambles on and on about nothingness.... we get it, Terry, you don't think any good comes from speculating. Of course, speculating is what an opinion columnist -- especially a SPORTS one -- is supposed to do.

He also missed the point on the Paint Crew chant... I don't think they were reading message boards and taunting about transferring.... I think they were ADVISING players to transfer.
