You vs. Me
options
 

We did this last year and it was pretty successful, so this year I'm giving you another chance to make me look stupid.

I've created a pair of contests for blog readers in Philly.com's Hoops Hysteria contest. The first is a standard full-bracket contest. The second is a round-by-round contest, which is a bit different from the usual but should also be a lot of fun. In other words, you make your picks after each round instead of all at the start.

If you do really well, you can win prizes: they range from a $500 gift card to $100,000 if you get the whole thing perfect.

You'll also be able to compare brackets with me and Daily News writers Dick Jerardi, Mike Kern and Bob Cooney.

(No, I can't win the prizes. But that's as it should be.)

You can also click here for a printable bracket in .PDF form.

I will make my picks some time later tonight; I'm editing the homepage this evening so I don't have time for it right now.

But I will be back when game times are announced.

About Jonathan Tannenwald
I fell in love with the Big 5 at first sight upon moving to Philadelphia in 2002. At various points in my journalistic career, I've covered all six of the region's Division I teams. During that time, I've eaten many soft pretzels from the Palestra's concession stands, which is how this blog got its name.

I write primarily about the University of Pennsylvania and the Ivy League, but I also cover the other basketball and football teams across the city from time to time. In the spring, you'll find coverage of the Penn Relays here.

In addition to all of that, I write Philly.com's soccer blog, The Goalkeeper.
