The Bracket Battle is B-B-BACK!!!

It is the moment you've all been waiting for!

No, not the newest season of House of Cards...
No, not the next flavor of Lay's potato chips...
No, not the 2014 football season...


It's the NCAA TOURNAMENT!

Which is really cool and all. Basketball and colleges and heated competition. But what's REALLY cool about it is the return of the Sports Pro and the Average Bro Bracket Battle! (Password: battle)

BUT WAIT!

The 4th annual version of our world famous Battle comes with a new twist. The Big Dance is coming up, so who are you bringing with you?

Do you know any Famous Celebrities? D-List Celebrities? Sports Personalities? Some guy that more than 5 people have heard of? Get them to compete in our battle and you could win an extra prize!

The Bracket Battle Comes to a Close

Well Pros and Bros, it was an exciting run but the Tournament has come to an end. Remember all the fun? Remember all the laughs? Remember that one guy with the leg and the ...never mind. Can't think about it. Ughh!

Anyway, what a great tournament. The Louisvillle Cardinals won it all and cut down the nets. What an exciting time for all those involved. Every student and faculty member and blah blah blah.

Yeah, Congratulations Louisville. Good for you. But for the rest of us, only one thing mattered at the end of this tournament: The Sports Pro and the Average Bro Bracket Battle!!!

Bracket Busted? I feel your pain

Well Pros and Bros, the First big wave of the NCAA Tournament has come to a close. It was upset city in the early rounds and my bracket felt it...hard.

How did you do? Did you ace the upsets and survive with minimal damage? Is your Final Four still flawless and read for the battles this weekend?

Or does your Western Region look like it went sunbathing too long due to all the red? Was Georgetown in your final four? Was Gonzaga your national champion?

Yes.
Yes.
AND ...Yes. I mean who steps out of bounds the second the ball is in bounded in THAT situation!?!? SERIOULSY!?

Deep breaths. I will get through this. And that's what this is all about. I will get you through this.

Did I hear Bracket Battle? YOU SURE DID!!!

THAT'S RIGHT!

Hey there Sports Pros and Average Bros out there! It's that magical time of the year again! The NCAA Tournament!

"But Average Bro! That tournament is so long and I don't go to (enter college with a good basketball team here)! Why should I watch and have a rooting interest?"

Well Mr. Question pants! I have an answer for you!

The NCAA Tournament ALSO means it's time for the 3rd Annual Sports Pro and the Average Bro Bracket Battle!

What? You're still here?

"Yeah Average Bro! I'm not sure if I want to enter your Bracket Battle even though it only takes a minute and I'd be totally lame not to! Why do you think I should enter?"

What kinda question is that!? You got some nerve you know that?! You're asking for it question guy!

So anyway, you want some reasons for joining into this battle? (other than it being super awesome and competitive and ohmygoodnessgracious just do it!). Here are a few:

1. PRIZES!!!

That's right boys and girls! Prizes! Do you like Prizes? Of course you do!!! What kind of prizes you ask? ALL KINDS! Who know's what they will be!? T-Shirts? Maybe! Trophies? Could be! Cash? Probably not, but whatever makes you join! You could get prizes for winning or losing or even...

2. TWEET WARS!!!

YEP! New to this years Bracket Battle is the TWEET WAR! Got something funny to say about the tournament? Got some awesome stat that we've never heard before? Got a picture of you putting Duke Coach Mike Sha-Shev-ski (I refuse to google how to spell it) in a headlock? Tweet it with the hashtag #SPABMadness! If we like it better than anyone else's you'll earn a point for that round! Will the winner of the Tweet War get a prize too!? Maybe! Only one way to find out!!!

3. BECOME A VERY-VERY-SUPER-MINOR SPORTS BLOG CELEBRITY!

Winning a Bracket Battle of this magnitude is not easy. It takes time and effort and great know how. Actually it just takes an internet connection and some clickin' fingers...BUT STILL! If you win, that must mean that you're life is super terribly interesting! The Sports Blog world should know about you! That's why the winner of the Battle (in addition to fabulous prizes beyond your most below average dreams) will get a sit down/email/skype/carrier pigeon interview with the Sports Pro and the Average Bro themselves! It's the perfect time for you to promote your business or tell the world how awesome you are or propose to your girlfriend! If you get your story told by this mediocre not very highly trafficked sports blog...the possibilities are literally ENDLESS*!

If you've gotten this far and you still haven't submitted your Bracket then I don't know what to tell you. If none of this entices you then you must be a zombie with limited interest in college basketball or minor stardom. (Also, if a zombie submits their bracket, they get a prize automatically) If you still need a push here are some awesome celebrity testimonies!

LeBron gives it the "thumbs up"!

Finally something they can agree on!

The real reason behind the signing!

Leave it to A-Rod to find the silver Lining!

We didn't want to use him but he just kept on calling!
