ATQ NCAA Basketball Tournament Bracket Contest [with update]

Are we going to do one of these? I saw this idea mentioned in the ATQ Fantasy Baseball thread and I thought that we should do this. If you guys have done it in the past, my apologies, I wasn't around this loony bin back then. We could do it on ESPN, Yahoo!, CBS, etc. Just a little friendly (HA!) competition. Maybe some Oregon swag as a prize.

 

I'd be happy to set something up if you guys wanted to do this. 

[UPDATE by jtlight] There will be an official ATQ group with an official ATQ prize! We'll be posting the details next week.

Well, if we are doing one, I'm in.

I am always terrible with brackets, but nonetheless, I’m in.

This off-season officially sucks for FIVE reasons and counting...

by CaDuck on Mar 10, 2010 8:50 PM PST reply actions  

I'm in

I’ve never done a bracket before but I’m pretty good at losing.

by JonathanPDX on Mar 10, 2010 10:58 PM PST reply actions  

I'm in and willing to put up the prize too.

So here are my requirements.

1. Since I’m buying the prize, I’m not doing the work of setting this up. Somebody else needs to do it.

2. The prize can’t be more than $50.

3. It also has to be something that can be mailed easily.

4. It needs to apply to everyone, unfortunately we have high schoolers participating here too. So a case of PBR is out Tako.

5. Come up with suggestions of what I get if I win. I’m going with I get to be coach of the Oregon Men’s Basketball team if I win.

So let’s talk about what the prize should be.

Well Canzano, maybe your parents didn’t believe in you.

oh one other thing.

6. It has to be something cool, I want to see 50+ people signed up for this thing

Well Canzano, maybe your parents didn’t believe in you.

I'll set it up.

If you win, you reign superior over all of us.

Um…case of PBR for the 21+ group, and a case of Capri Sun for the underaged.

Did you know that playing in the SEC makes your football team inherently better than everyone else's?

you set it up yet

i have set up a few of these for AtQ and would be happy to do another

I Don't Yell O I SCREAM!

by trumpetduck on Mar 11, 2010 9:10 AM PST up reply actions  

I'll set it up later this afternoon.

I still haven’t got a consensus on where we want to do this.

Oregon would be nice too

I'd do it if it were Ninkasi

that stuff is the realness…and from Eugene.

by B Money on Mar 12, 2010 3:38 PM PST up reply actions  

Tako, disreguard #4

You and I both know that 16 is really 21 in most parts of Asia; ergo, I will take a case of PBR if I happen to reign victorious

Oooo Oooo!

I’m down. I owned my brackets last year. It’s about time that I get owned.

by DuckFanAndy on Mar 11, 2010 7:54 AM PST reply actions  

I'm in if axemen is out

I don’t think I want to see any more gloting on here from him.

Kidding!

But seriously, I’m in.

May we hand you your taints on a silver platter...

What do you guys think

Jersey?

Oregon Sweatshirt?

Or how about this

Well Canzano, maybe your parents didn’t believe in you.

by Matt Daddy on Mar 11, 2010 10:33 AM PST reply actions  

I have to say that the jersey would be fun, the sweatshirt would be useful, but the Dixon autograph would be the coolest.

Still…I could really use a new sweatshirt. It gets down to like 60 degrees here in the winter.

A brewery hoodie would add to my growing collection

assuming I wasn’t going to go 0/32 in the first round.

by HoodRiverDuck on Mar 11, 2010 10:53 AM PST up reply actions  

How about one of these with a basketball, I could always use a 2nd Gnome

I’m in.

My only idea for prizes is some kind of package of cool random stuff – Chip Kelly-style visor, UO antenna ball, license plate frame, etc. Not very creative, but I figured I’d throw it out there. It’s something I would be interested in winning.

I want a Chip Kelly visor.

They call him Rags. Where he goes, no-hitters follow.

I like the idea of a Oregon Ducks goodie box.

Ankle braclets, hand cuffs, orangejump suit and a blank license plate?

Thanks for doing it offically, Jared. Easier and more organized for all of us.

Just make it so that the under 18 crowd can register too.

Well, I guess that rules out doing the contest through XXXMarchMadnessHotties.com

Chip Kelly-Bustin' Out The Banhammer Since 2009

by TennesseeQuackAttack8 on Mar 12, 2010 7:49 PM PST up reply actions  

OK, I'll contribute a prize..

A high-quality autographed reproduction (pigment inks on Moab Entrada art paper) of the1951 Bowman football card of Brad Ecklund, New York Yankees center, Oregon grad and ’48 Cotton Bowl teammate of Norm Van Brocklin and Woodley Lewis. An All-Pro in ’50 and ’51.

Whitie died on February 6 of this year at his home in Mount Holly Township, NJ.

And I’m willing to bet most AtQers have never heard of him.

(The autograph will be mine, not Whitie’s. Sorry.)

everything is history, eventually.

by benzduck on Mar 13, 2010 1:40 AM PST reply actions  

You are ineligible.

Wouldn’t want to damage your amateur status in life.

Oh, snap!

everything is history, eventually.

by benzduck on Mar 13, 2010 9:31 AM PST via mobile up reply actions  

Dude, if either of us ever take anything seriously, everyone else needs to duck and cover.

Besides, I have a job. Bill Musgrave’s collection agency. I get a piece of all the money you still owe me.

everything is history, eventually.

by benzduck on Mar 13, 2010 4:01 PM PST up reply actions  

Happy to support the pop tart allowance and Ecklund memorabilia fund.

Keep up the good work, benz.

My parents don't believe in Canzano either.

by Bill Musgrave on Mar 14, 2010 7:36 AM PST up reply actions  

Trouble is, I have to eat the pop tarts cold. Kids won’t let me near a toaster any more.

Supposedly it’s not a good idea to stick forks in them.

Then they gave me plastic forks.

It’s not a good idea to stick plastic forks in toasters either.

everything is history, eventually.
