Since the inception of WarBlogle.com in 2007 (really 2008), I have never held a War Blogle Bracket Challenge that included Auburn in the field. In a way, it was a good thing because we could just sit back and pick games without any hint of homeriety creeping in. In fact, the motto of the Bracket Challenge has been “No Auburn means no pressure” for the last decade.
NO MORE, MY FRIENDS. AUBURN IS BACK IN THIS THING AND YOU BETTER PICK THEM TO WIN IT ALL. But really, this is going to be fun. We have to try to be “smart” while being “dumb” at the same time. Join the challenge. Details below.
As always, I don’t care if you think it’s lame to partake in a mainstream thing. I don’t care if you haven’t watched a basketball game this year. I don’t care if you’re tired of seeing everybody tell you to join their group. This was the first. This is the best. You need to join, and you can do so by going here.
If you are asked for a group password, it is warblogle. You will need to sign in or register a CBS Sports account, but that takes two seconds so I don’t want to hear it.
As far as prizes, the winner will receive their very own Auburn Hover Helmet. I will also be giving out some pretty awesome Auburn Rock ’em Socks to the top five as well. I’ll throw in some stickers, too. Do it.

Now if you wanna get serious with this, I’ll be doing a money bracket again. That’s right, if you want to win 9/10 of whatever amount number of participants x 10 equals, then now you can. That’s right, I went up to $10 because when Auburn is involved, you don’t just put five on it.
If that makes your wallet tingle, go here and follow the same rules as above. Make sure you are in the group named ‘War Blogle Money Bracket – $$$.’ If you are asked for a group password, it is money.
After you’ve made your picks, I need to hold 9/10 of your money until you win. So to send me your entry fee…
