First off, a big thank you to all of the prize providers for this year’s pick ’em:
- Mug Revolution
- Paizano’s Pizza
- Jake’s Diner
- Brother Jon’s Ale House
- Home Improvement Services
- Bend Oregon Restaurants Blog
There’d be no point in having a pick ’em like this if it weren’t for the wonderful folks who throw in prizes, so please support them all, click through to their sites, buy something, eat something, etc…
I was one of a few people that picked Kansas to win the tournament while most of the people in the 2012 UtterlyBoring NCAA Pick ’em picked Kentucky. I thought I was going to look like a genius. Not so much after Kentucky smacked the Jayhawks around, causing me to drop from first on Saturday to fourth today. As you can see, quite a few folks picked Kentucky, and I barely held on to fourth place.
But that matters not, as the following folks are in the money, so to speak:
- First Place goes to BBall Magic (Erock): A $25 Gift Certificate for a handmade mug from Mug Revolution Plus a $25 Amazon Gift card (provided by my parents, who run Home Improvement Services) Plus A totally un-used Starter Pack for Arduino Plus two lift tickets to Ski Anthony Lakes, courtesy of Baker City’s Best Pizza Place.
- Second Place goes to Zen-ish (David): He’ll take home a meal (breakfast, lunch, or dinner) for two at Jake’s Diner Plus an Alehouse T-Shirt from Brother Jon’s Ale House Plus $25 gift certificate to Paizano’s in Baker City.
- Third Place goes to Larry Legend (LarryK): Larry will take home a copy of Mario Super Sluggers for the Wii Plus a luxurious fuzzy Paizano’s Pizza embroidered full-length robe.
- Second-to-Last Place goes to GoHogs! (Kyle): He runs off with the fully punched Taco Del Mar punch card for a free burrito, courtesy of Bend Oregon Restaurants Blog.
- Last Place goes to Drentastic!: Dren is a three-time loser and gets a t-shirt from the UtterlyBoring.com shop. I’ll have to add a few design elements to the shirt to make it extra special
I’ll be getting in touch with all the winners later this week once I get all the prizes rounded up. Per the rules, you have two weeks to get back to me from when I send the email, otherwise the prizes go to the next person on the list. Make sure your email address it visible on the tournament member page otherwise I have no idea how to verify you are who you say you are (or contact me at utterlyboring {at} gmail {dot} com and I’ll give you another way to verify, involving the tournament member page).
Thanks again for playing!
