We've Got Pride on the Line, and I Don't Mean Hofstra
It's NCAA Tournament time, which means it's time for the Meaters to lay their pride on the line in the first (well, first since college at least) Sportsmeat Bracket Challenge. Post your picks below and we'll tally them up after each weekend until we have a Sportsmeat NCAA Tournament Challenge 2007 Champion.
In a slightly revised scoring system devised while Budds was stuck in an airport in Fort Myers, we'll award 1 point for each first round pick correct, 2 points for the second round, 4 points for the Sweet 16 and 8 points for the elite 8. Each Final 4 contestant picked correctly will net you 16 points, with 20 points for the national runner-up and 26 points for the champion. That's right, the old 1-2-4-8-16-20-26.
And if you're lucky, maybe Budds will design some spiffy Photoshop trophy and we'll see if we can scrape together some maddog for the champion.
In 2007, it's for All the Meat!!! (or something like that)

Meat minds think alike. I've been out of town, sans computer, for five days, and I filled out my picks the old fashioned way, on the bracket torn from the sports pages. Yet my picks (and those of my wife, incidentally, also filled out independently) have a similar flavor to those of Thunder and EJ...
