While I love the Super Bowl, it's only four hours long. The NCAA tournament gives you much more bang for your buck. During the opening two days of the tournament (Thursday and Friday), I try my damnedest to become like that woman who had to have the toilet seat surgically removed from her ass (except in my case, it would be the recliner). Or at least I did before these damn kids came along.
So I decided to set up my own bracket challenge, hosted at CBS Sportsline. There will be a private message board for us to talk smack. If that doesn't satisfy your appetite for smack, you can send group emails to everyone in the Parent Bloggers group.
Here's how the scoring breaks down:
1st round: 1 point for each correct pick
2nd round: 2 points for each correct pick
3rd round: 4 points for each correct pick
4th round: 8 points for each correct pick
5th round: 16 points for each correct pick
Final round: 32 points for the correct pick
Interested? The group name is Parent Bloggers and the password is cynical. If you want to sign up and see how well you do against the rest of us, click here (if you have any problems, drop me a line).
And if you end up winning the Parent Bloggers NCAA Bracket Challenge, I'll send you a mix CD and a limited edition Cynical Dad pin (just ask The Lovely Mrs. Davis how cool the pins are!). If you decide to play, leave me a comment and let me know your team name so I can put the names to the blogs, etc.
And don't worry if you're not a parent blogger. If you're reading this, consider yourself invited.
For those of you who may be wondering who I picked as my national champion, you haven't been paying attention. But you can figure it out if you know the name of this song:
Song of the day: Chapel Hill by Sonic Youth
