With school getting into full swing and a 5 page essay already turned in, my amount of time posting on here, whether it be on the message boards or on my blog has suffered. I'm starting to go through withdrawals so I had to post something!! So in Shuless Joe's fashion here's some cool stuff goin' on around the message boards/blogs lately.

If you haven't checked out the daily photo caption contests put on by Shuless Joe you have to check 'em out. They're hysterical! Can you believe it, they guy who is usually saying "what's up! Check this out..." is getting some lovin' of the same nature.

As always, the PAC-10 Pick 'em League is goin' strong. Lot of good picks, and adds a bit more interest into the games. If you're interested, you're more than welcome to join, discuss the games, etc.

And finally, check out FiddleChips'  CBB User Tournament. He's got a great system, so vote for your favorite!
