Hey, you're probably going to join some bracket pools this year. Why not join one with us, and prove that you're way smarter than all of us LGHL writers? Especially since this year, we're doing something different with our bracket pool, joining a new service that will let you change your picks during the tournament, or even during the game. No more watching your Final Four go up in smoke four hours into the tournament because you picked Duke.
Plus, if you win first place, we'll send you your choice of t-shirt from our friends at BreakingT (value $23.00). For free! So what are you waiting for?
1. According to the official rules, you must be a member of our site to be eligible for a prize. Fortunately, that only takes 30 seconds, and doesn't involve receiving annoying emails or anything. If you're not already a member, Just head to the bottom of this page, check the box to agree to the terms and conditions, and click "Join Inside Land-Grant Holy Land."
2. Sign up for Realtime Brackets here.
