Hey guys, as it’s been since I’ve started this here blogle, the motto of this year’s War Blogle Bracket Challenge will be “No Auburn means no pressure.” Maybe that’s the problem. Maybe I should just stop this thing. NOPE.

This year’s challenge will be the 10th annual, so you know it’s meant to be special. Therefore, you need to join. I don’t care if you think it’s lame to partake in a mainstream thing. I don’t care if you haven’t watched a basketball game this year. You need to join. And you can do so by going here.

If you are asked for a group password, it is warblogle. You will need to sign in or register a CBS Sports account, but that takes two seconds so I don’t want to hear it.

As far as prizes, the winner will receive their very own Auburn Hover Helmet. I have one and the thing has been spinning in mid-air for over a year. It’s awesome. The top three participants will get a War Blogle sticker/button/whatever.

Now if you wanna get serious with this, I’ve decided to create a bracket challenge for money. That’s right, if you want to win 4/5 of whatever amount number of participants x 5 equals, then now you can.

If that makes your wallet tingle, go here and follow the same rules as above. Make sure you are in the group named ‘War Blogle Money Bracket – $$$.’ If you are asked for a group password, it is money.

After you’ve made your picks, I need to hold 4/5 of your money until you win. So to send me your entry fee…
