Sports Illustrated NCAA Bracket Challenge Facebook Application

March 11, 2008 - 2:30 pm , By Steve Gebhardt - Seton Hall U.

SI Bracket

Sports Illustrated has built a unique Facebook application for March Madness, where Bracketology meets Social Networking in SI’s Bracket Challenge.

The application allows you to build a bracket with your friends to see whose picks reign supreme, as well as the latest news and updates from every team in the NCAA tourney.

To date, over 22,000 people have added the Facebook application. With “Selection Sunday” only 5 days away, that number is expected to rise exponentially.

Other notable features include a “Friend Predictor” that allows you to see which friends have added the app, while offering the option of who you think will do best; “Citizen Sports Fan Breakdown” shows which teams in the NCAA have the most fans on Facebook, and the overall ability to talk smack in over 40 active discussion boards. Leave your poor judgment at the door, kiddos!

Where to Blow Your Cash Betting on NCAA Games

November 16, 2007 - 10:00 am , By Jeff - Iona College

betting

Believe it or not, the NCAA football season is wrapping up. I know, I know - there’s still more than a month until bowl time but it’s never to early to start thinking about where you are gonna blow your parents hard earned cash when it’s time to bet. Plus Notre Dame blows this year and deep down I’m wishing the season would end tomorrow. Anyway back to the point!

So the lawyers don’t come knocking at my door:

Betting is irresponsible and can get you in a ton of trouble/debt but with that said its damn fun and makes watching the games like 107 times more exciting!

A traditional betting hot-spot that has two names but goes by one, VEGAS, isn’t the only place that will accept your money, and if you’re a good guesser give you some back in return.

Here are two more viable betting options when bowl season is in full swing… oh yeah March Madness is only a few months away too! Read More »
