3rd Annual Sportsocracy NCAA Bracket Challenge

Join us for the 3rd Annual Sportsocracy NCAA Bracket Challenge.  Every year, tons of quasi and even legit Pittsburgh celebrities like myself engage in a rousing round of bracketology.  You can rumble over to Yahoo Fantasy Sports and join (Group = 78098, password = jamiedixonhairgel) or just click the link above.

The winner gets a Sportsocracy t-shirt and a year to brag about how awesome and crafty they are.  Former winners are 2007 - Cory Humes of MVN.com and 2008 - Mike Rizzo of RizzoSports.

Krisof Ongenaet takes a huge bump in the Cuse/Louisville game last night…and he’s ok!  ESPN, in their typical, sensitive ways, showed it about 15 times in a row.
