Hard call on prizes
My initial thought was…
Permanent Fixture in the Casual Awards – Like the constellations of old, what better way to commemorate greatness than by attaching the winner to the firmament of the Casual Awards. It could be “The Hoya Joker Award for Worst Sign Play on Words” or “The lordnick Award for Finding the Silver Lining”
Why so Syracuse?

or just "aja32 award for seeing the future"
For example, given to Coach K (sarcastically) for completely refusing to employ a zone defense against Georgetown and being demolished as a result
- OR -
Given (sincerely) to JT III for having Jason Clark shut down ::leading scorer:: on opposing team.
Or just make the winner a frontpage poster?
I can have oodles of charm when I want to.
I agree with this idea
And definitely some Casual Headbands. I live in Columbia, SC and I am dying for one of those headbands.

Speaking of signs...
My buddy Danny found this. Great job student section!
“The St. Louis regional could be amazing, with Kansas-Michigan State and Ohio State-Georgetown games back-to-back. I hope the Hoyas’ sign-making students come along to the dance; they make the smartest posterboards in the country. My favorite effort of theirs, at Madison Square Garden this weekend, was one that read, "Obey the Monroe Doctrine." Hoyas star Greg Monroe is the NCAA’s best all-around center, and the intention of the Monroe Doctrine (in 1823) was to keep Europe out of the affairs of the Western Hemisphere … so one interpretation of the sign is that it’s a warning to European big men who are considering entering the draft and pushing Monroe out of the lottery. Jan Vesely and Donatas Motiejunas, the Georgetown students would like you to stay at home.”

Why so Syracuse?
i highly doubt that the Monroe doctrine sign
was referring to European centers lol

All access to
old hoya’s wine cellar and a prominent place in the will.
Prize Recommendation
The winner must have his opinions lauded and complimented, no matter how stupid or ridiculous, until we tip off without Greg Monroe on the team.
I have feelings man.
It's not you, it's me.

@casual hoya - Are only guys allowed in this contest?
“A date for your wife and/or girlfriend with the Casual Hoya bloggers?”
just curious…
Nope
Girls win a date with us
It's not you, it's me.
by Jeff Green's Dad on Mar 15, 2010 1:56 PM EDT up reply actions
all 5 of you? does that mean you'll buy your lovely date 5 drinks?
better go actually start researching my bracket
by eatthatbox09 on Mar 15, 2010 2:56 PM EDT up reply actions
same question
Could the prize be our boyfriends go get a date with the Casual Hoya bloggers? just saying…
aren't we all going to win
whose bracket doesnt have G’town winning it all?
by ghostofjoeybrown on Mar 15, 2010 2:17 PM EDT reply actions
re: aren't we all going to win
I’ve got Georgetown tagging in for Purdue WWE-style and eventually winning the Houston bracket, as well as the Midwest. That’s rather improbable, but if it happens, I’m the only one to pick it, aren’t I?
by HoyaSmacksYa on Mar 16, 2010 1:42 PM EDT up reply actions
two awards
In addition to the winner, there should also be an award for the worst bracket from the blog. As an idea for the award for that…a lengthy dinner with the two people who run the hoyahoops blog. After having the pleasure of sitting next to them at the WVA game, and not being one of the people who changed seats to get away from them, i can’t think of a better way of recognizing knowing nothing about basketball.

surprising that his manufactured insult was kinder than the truth
I can have oodles of charm when I want to.
FlufMonster
is an AWESOME name. For a child, let alone a dog. Winner of the bracket gets to call their firstborn DoubleStuf FlufMonster III.
KBE
but then you incur the charge of therapy for your kid
following daily post-playground beatings. might still be worth it.
by eatthatbox09 on Mar 15, 2010 2:57 PM EDT up reply actions
also, doublestuf flufmonster III is sort of hard to say out loud (probably due to stuf/fluf)
but as long as your child is seen and not heard, there should be no need to address them directly (unless they are needed to fetch more oreos)
by eatthatbox09 on Mar 15, 2010 3:06 PM EDT up reply actions
the more fatal flaw
is the fact that getting to said child requires eventually leaving the basement and engaging in meaningful social activity.
KBE
dude, make her come to you
i’m sure your mom’s basement is where it’s at

this is the best yet!

Georgetown > Kansas
In my heart, I know I’m right. In my guts, I know I’m nuts.
"The enemy is like a woman, weak in face of opposition..." - St. Ignatius
best and worst
The winner should have their image and accomplishments immortalized on the side of a van in an epic mural.
The loser should be forced to name their first born child "Elvis" regardless of sex.

Falkor only needs slight modification
to become our dear Maltipoo. And given his proven predictive abilities, Teddy must already be favorite for the bracket contest.
KBE
I agree
not too much would need to be done for Teddy to be prominently displayed.
a few guys in high school once pooled their money and bought a used short bus and painted it our school colors.
mural + short bus + drinking = YES

Let's please
Avoid encouraging members of the Varsity from participating by offering prizes they might like…. I think the NCAA might frown on that.

Not since
Seriously – They started letting Freshmen play. Like calling basjetball players cagers – it’s a generational thing.
Not seriously – Yeah, it is Seton Hall.

Making my first post...
Been reading the blog for awhile, I’m joining/starting to comment now so I can enter this thing.
I spent three hours last night making my bracket; unfortunately I have a bad feeling my choice of Georgetown to win it all is going to cost me any prize I am eligible for. Oh well.
F*** them Jayhawks up!
Went totally BE Homer in mine. If you are going to dream – dream big or don’t dream at all.

Insider's tip
i’m guessing if i dont pick the Hoyas to win the title or even make the final 4, i will be the only one in this contest with a different (and hence winning) bracket should this horrific event occur.
On the plus side, report: “TIGER WOODS SAYS HE IS RETURNING GOLF AT THE MASTERS”
Nah
I bet a lot of folks will create one they might think has a better shot of winning. I know plenty of Georgetown fans who say “If it means we keep winning, I’ll gladly see my bracket sunk; if we lose where I picked that we could, then at least there’s some minor consolation.” Me, I think it’s bad personal mojo to pick against the Hoyas. I had less qualms, however, about having BE teams dropping before my dream scenario of all BE teams going as far as possible. Sorry, ND and Marquette,
Why so Syracuse?
I agree on the 'bad karma' thought.....
that is why I refuse to fill out a bracket……
there is only so much emotional capital to go around…… and I put all mine behind the Hoyas …..and only the Hoyas……

you're not obligated
Just because they buy you a drink doesn’t mean you have to do anything for them. Two drinks though is a different story….
by HoyaSmacksYa on Mar 16, 2010 5:13 PM EDT up reply actions
true
and as previously mentioned in this thread, he’d be looking at 5 drinks… which definitely means he’d owe them his favors

I'm not bending over for anybody....
unless it is a deal with the devil to ensure a spot in the Final 4…..
Hey,…. everyone has their price….!!!!!
