1-17-2011 UPDATE: Fan Outfitter's College Basketball Contest

The College Basketball Fan Contest sponsored by Fan Outfitters witnessed its first weekend destroy about half the pack, and then some.

The KSR-crew took the brunt of the first wave, dropping like flies. Among the fallen: Beisner, Evan Hilbert, Drew Franklin, Matthew Hays, Mosely, Tyler Thompson, Will Lentz, and Chris Tomlin. Accompanying the site’s casualties were fellow ‘friends of the program’: Big EZ Zach McCrite, Handsome Jimmy, Drew Deenor, Mike Pratt, Woo, KSRBetterHalf, Alan Cutler, and Dave Baker.

Whoever chose Louisville narrowly continues on. Marquette blew it in every possible way. Towson couldn’t pull it out against Delaware (sorry, Carolyn). Texas A&M took down a tough Missouri opponent in overtime. Tennessee showed a glimmer of orange hope (possibly from a puddle of orange puke via Sparks/Four Loco) with a comeback win against Vandy. Stony Brook scored 13 points in double overtime to escape against New Hampshire. Michael Jordan’s son and UCF are really not that good and got the brakes beat off them by Souther Miss. Minnesota may be falling apart. One of the best picks, stolen by Beisner, took a nice shallacking when Duquesne beat Temple.

Okay, I am done recapping games that only Billy Walters cares about. Don’t forget to keep your eyes open to the college basketball scores and follow your team-that-you-will-never-care-about-again-unless-you-win pick! Remember, first prize includes a gift certificate for Fan Outfitters, cash from KSR, and your very own post.
