Third Annual kurtbranch.com Bracket Challenge! Join NOW!

march-madness-2008For the third straight year, I am holding the kurtbranch.com Bracket Challenge Group on CBS Sportsline. Money stuffs will be decided on if I get enough requests to throw in a few bucks. Otherwise, you are playing for pride. So good luck. Oh, and if you think you have no clue, and you haven’t watched a game all year, then you will probably win…seriously. You will also need to create a CBS Sportsline account, if you do not have one already, but I think it only asks for your name and email, so don’t use that as an excuse.

Join the kurtbranch.com Bracket Challenge Group. The group password is ‘123456789‘.

Invite your friends. The more people we have, the better the competition.

17-Point Play

Can anyone explain the number of foul shots to me?

Lame-O Thursday: Waffle House Wedding

There are no words…just watch this.

Lame-O Thursday: Alabama Football

If you’ve ever been to a game at Bryant-Denny you know that the blaring slur of Bear Bryant sounds exactly like this. It has nothing to do with bad video quality on YouTube. It sounds JUST like this. You’d think with “12″ National Championships they could afford a better sound system. Oh, and about that 12 championships thing…read this.

Lame-O Thursday: I’m Noticing a Theme

You tell me what’s lame about this video. If you look closely you will notice the touchdown scorer is a little fidgety.

Lame-O Thursday: Bama is back?

I know this is old, but I saw it the other day and laughed as hard as I did the first time I saw it. This is the most premature and lame magazine cover I have ever seen. On a non-lame note, I have added the ‘KB Today’ section to the sidebar over there. I will be posting a new picture everyday so you can see my beard/weight/head fluctuate daily.

Bama is back?

Japanese Bug Fights!

Forget UFC. Forget Kimbo Slice. We’ve got some huge rhino beetle taking down a scorpion. We’ve got a huge centipede (makes me scream like a little girl) taking down some alien-looking bug. This is a really cool site with fully Japanese sanctioned bug fighting events. No, it’s not sad. Things that look like that were made for our entertainment. If you don’t comment on a post this awesome, then you’re sick.

UPDATE: Click that little gray box next to ‘menu’ to full-screen that mug. Prepare to wet yourself.
Seriously, don’t stop here. You have to see the rest!

Bracket Challenge-Final Standings

Well, another year, another pitiful bracket. Congratulations to Whit Heath of Opelika, AL for taking the top spot in the 2008 kurtbranch.com Bracket Challenge. Whit will be sending a ‘Thank You’ card to the Memphis free throw percentage. His prize is one of the seven deadly sins: pride. I’d like you to notice he won despite having less correct picks than at least 30% of the field, but it just goes to show that if you can pick games further down the line, you are rewarded. Anyway, on to baseball season. It looks like the Tigers have found their way. Thanks again for playing, and next year cheese will be involved.

Just for kicks, here are the standings based by correct picks. It makes me a feel a little bit better.

I’m toast. I hate you at the top.

Bracket Challenge-Elite 8 Results

Well we’re down to four, and for the first time in the history of the NCAA Basketball Tournament we have all #1 seeds in the Final Four. I think it’s safe to say that besides Auburn, these are obviously the top 4 teams in the country this year. I for one hope it ends up being UNC and UCLA, with UCLA taking the title, but anyway, I’ll be back next Saturday to post the results of the two Final Four games. Thanks for playing. Read more
