Thanks to Luke who is running the show and setting the rules this year. Take it away, Luke:
Welcome to the PITT Blather 2010 Bracket Pool
1st place nabs the winner:
“Baldwin for Heisman” t-shirt (spring practice also starts this week);
a “talking” Pitt bottle opener;
A $25 gift card TBD (Ed. note, if anyone knows where on the Pitt team store you can purchase gift cards it would help rather than defaulting to something like Dick’s.)
There is no prize for 2nd place.
The scoring system will be a little different. The total points for the round will be multiplied by the seed you pick to win. For example, if you took a 3 seed to beat a 14 seed, you would get 3 points, as opposed to getting 14 if the 14 seed won.
The full rundown on scoring can be found here. I just thought it was an interesting twist from the normal pool that you’re probably in.
1 Bracket per person.

Thanks to Luke for setting this up and good luck.
So should we submit our email address?
Try going there and entering that way. Try it before I email Chas,.
I’m in
There are going to be some surprises in the sweet sixteen this year….but, Pitt will be there.
I just filled mine out. I didn’t do so well last year but I have a good feeling this year. Then again I had a good feeling last season.
The Big Ten is going to be horrible to watch for Pitt basketball fans. The Big East tournament is one of the great sporting events in America and it is going to be ruined by some fat-cats from the Big Ten. Even more reason to hate Joe Paterno and Penn State.
Hail To Pitt !
