If you follow me on Twitter, you may have had fun voting in our random bracket challenge last year.
Or maybe you voted but didn’t have fun.
Then again, you may neither have voted nor had fun.
Or you could be like my wife and think the whole thing is kind of dumb.
At any rate, we’re doing it again this year. The committee has been working diligently for several days to sort through and seed the entries.
This year we’ll be incorporating Substack into the process. After the controversy involving champion mini-donuts last year, a photo of each entrant will be shown at the time of voting.
At this point some more ado seems appropriate, but due to time constraints there actually will be no further ado.
Voting starts tomorrow (Wednesday) and again, will be done on Twitter. If you don’t follow me on Twitter (and if not, why not?) its @sportsdr44
