Bracket Challenge 2009
The Madness of March is upon us. After the success of last year’s contest, Ben Mahtani and I decided to bring back our Bracket Challenge for 2009.
Can you see the excitement in my eyes?
Everyone enjoys the excitement of March Madness, college basketball fans or not. I encourage all jbomb.net readers to participate in the contest. Here is how:
- Sign up for the Yahoo! Tournament challenge.
- Group ID #: 83654
- Password: sixburgh
- Make your picks. The group uses standard Yahoo! scoring.
- Leave a comment on either my site or airxxi.com. Please leave the name of your bracket in your comment. If you do not leave a comment you cannot win the prize, so make sure to do so!
- The winner will receive a $20 gift card to Amazon.com!
Your bracket must be completed before the first game of Thursday, March 19. Good luck!
Details: The winner will receive a $20 gift card to Amazon.com courtesy myself and Ben. By winning I mean placing first in the group of all participants (and having posted a comment on either of our sites). If there is a tie, I will flip a coin to determine the winner. The official rules are determined completely at my discretion. The winner will be contacted through their Yahoo! email, but if you win just send me an email through the above contact form. You will later need to send me an email from the Yahoo address you entered under. I will then arrange to send you the Amazon gift card via email.

All right… I’m more than happy to take the $20 iTunes GC again this year. I need some more apps for my Touch. My bracket is “Jamaican Me Crazy.”
i guess you could buy a $20 itunes gc from amazon.com using your $20 amazon gc.
I hope you can join my $5 buy-in tourney challenge. It’s funny too, cause the password is also “sixburgh.” Hit up facebook for details. Can’t wait for the annual Trinity Hoops Challenge, always exciting, especially when I win. Good luck to all.
oh, and my bracket name is Levance Fields’ Taser.
And the fun begins! I will use the same name I used last year….Marchelle Madness.
I was terrible last year as Smooth Vanilla. But, two years ago I finished in fourth, so I decided to go back to that name. You can figure it out.
Hint: pastries.

Thanks to everyone so far for joining! Today I was explaining the concept of March Madness to a non-sports fan and got giddy just talking about it.
so i had no intentions of doing this until i read this post and quickly thought of my awesome name
OH I Own
**this is in no way a reflection of how well i think i will do on this bracket. i will be fully content even with a 2nd to last place finish.
Rebecca – that is awesome. Glad you decided to join. I never do well, but it’s so much fun nonetheless!!
Maurice L. Tibbs is here.
Save the Last Dance for Pitt
also I hate myself for how foolish my bracket is
Okay, I joined with my mostly random choices, bracket name Eldrac. Let’s see how it does.
haha
Gotta go with the Presidential Bracket as opposed to making my own.

I decided to make one because Jesse told me to. Note: I know 0 about college basketball.
Bracket: Prof. Homan’s Winning Theorem
I enter the contest. My bracket name:
@Michelle/Mark/RebeccaGreat bracket names!
@Tyler: Sorry you could not put PSU in your bracket this year. Close but no cigar.
@Tyler B/Eric: Glad you both could join!
@Jaws: After this weekend you will see that no one knows about college basketball.
Thank you once again to everyone for joining! There are definitely some creative names. The tournament begins tomorrow so good luck to everybody!
LeBounce’s Game Winner will be putting your brackets to shame.
Tizballer…..chose a champion this year.
