It's on, friends. As of 5 p.m. Sunday evening, the level of my attention devoted to college basketball went up from around 60 percent to around 95 percent. If you understand that I'm referring to the NCAA Tournament, then you understand my obsessions. If it took until the second sentence of this blog to get that, then you can probably skip the rest of it.
I am still going to roll out some interesting (I hope) restaurant stuff this week, including a cool thing happening with Vitek's Gut Pak this afternoon. But I'm mostly devoted to my own bracket projections early in the week and then zoning out on March Madness beginning Thursday morning.
As such, I can't resist challenging all of you out there who dare to take on my college hoops-game-picking prowess.
I'll make it worth your while. Beat me and I'll give you $5 for the beverage of your choice at either Common Grounds or Dichotomy (or I guess I'll buy you a beer if you want to meet up as long as we're talking about unlikely hypotheticals). Win our group (or come in second in the likely event that I win it) and it's worth a $25 gift card to the restaurant of your choice.
Here's how it will work: click here to go to the CBS Sports bracket group we set up. You might need to quickly register, but they don't ask for much information so it's pretty painless. Then enter the group password — whereyouwannaeat — and then you're ready to fill out your bracket.
