This is about what I expected. And G-Town is 10th... Looks like not too many of your colleagues agreed with you Brian.
Hey Brian, here is an idea that would certainly get your blog or the DN a lot of hits during March Madness.
How about a Beat Brian's Bracket's contest where us, the peanut gallery, takes on you, the unbiased basketball expert, in picking the winners? The winner gets his choice of an authentic UCLA or SC basketball jersey (I'm sure our Trojan fans would love to participate as well and would increase the hits on your site).
Sounds like a fun idea to me though you don't have much time to set it up. What say you?
