After week 2, no change at the top, but a huge leap by the Banana Slugs!
Let the trash talking comments begin…remember, the best rant post wins 5K points for your team! (Clarification from a good question asked on the website: do your ranting here. Just add a comment to this post.)
Don’t forget ways to score points for your team next week:
It’s the greatest time of the year again…spring is just around the corner, and maybe even better, the NCAA Tournament is about to tip off! Think you can guess how the men’s bracket is going to play out? Sign up for the Parkside Youth Tournament Pick ‘Em and show us what you got. The winners will receive gift cards to iTunes… Here’s how to play:
The bracket will be announced on Sunday, March 14th. You’ll have until the start of the first game on Thursday March 18th to make your picks. So, after you have registered, be sure to go back to the Pick ‘Em page between the 14th and 18th to fill out your bracket (under “My Picks”). Keep things real by talking smack to each other and stay tuned to see if you’re smart enough (or lucky enough!) to win it all…and, oh by the way, go Blue Devils!
From our Student Body game on Sunday, proof that 3 golf balls can indeed be stacked on top of one another…nice work Zach.
The week 1 results are in, and here are the standings:

Last, but not certainly not least, Team 4 of March Madness 2010 comes from just south of San Franciso, CA and competes in Division III of the NCAA as an independent member. The campus of this school overlooks the Pacific Ocean, but the lure of the beach hasn’t prevented their athletes from practicing, as they have recently won national championships in water polo (2006), tennis (2007), and women’s club rugby (2005-2006).
As for their mascot? He goes by the scientific name of Ariolimax dolichophallus, and is no stranger to the big stage. You might have seen him on Fear Factor a few years ago, or in Reader’s Digest, when he was named the best mascot of 2004. He also made an appearance in a court case involving campus mascots, this having been written about him in Crue et al. v. Aiken in the Seventh Circuit Court of Appeals: “We give the best college nickname nod to the University of California, Santa Cruz. Imagine the fear in the hearts of opponents who travel there to face the imaginatively named ‘Banana Slugs’”. I couldn’t have said it better myself. The fourth and final team of March Madness 2010, the University of California, Santa Cruz Banana Slugs, and their mascot, Sammy the Slug!
