I discovered just a few days ago that my blog has been selected for inclusion in a sort of “blog tournament” (being held in honor of March Madness) for Southern Baptist bloggers. Who would’ve thunk it?
I don’t have a chance in the world of winning. I’m like tiny Davidson going up against Kansas. But like Davidson, I wouldn’t mind pulling off a couple of upsets along the way, and giving Kansas a scare.
Now, since BLOG MADNESS is held in honor of March Madness, it would be fitting to vote for a real basketball player, don’t you think? Well, let me tell you–I am a real basketball player. Or at least I used to be. As proof, here is Exhibit A, scanned from the cover of one of my old high school basketball programs. (You’ll just have to try to overlook those ugly shorts. After all, it was the early 70s.)
If you’d like to vote for me (tiny Davidson, the scrappy underdog), my blog is listed under the heading Midwest Division (pick four) as who am i? – Barry Wallace.
Please make certain that you click on the voting button under the “(pick four)” heading, and not on the link to my blog. When you go to the voting page, scroll down to the next section after the link. If you click on the link it will bring you back to this page and won’t register a vote. Go here to vote:
2009 SBC Voices BLOG MADNESS: Opening Round Has Started
And while you’re at it, cast a vote for my buddy Matt. He’s in the same division, and his blog is listed as Evangelical Village – Matt Svoboda
Thanks!
It’s not the shorts, it’s the socks that give me trouble. But truthfully, I’ve got a picture of me in 1976 wearing an identical pair!
Go for it! I got you out on Facebook and Twitter. I hope it helps!
Okay, the socks are pretty bad, too. Thanks for the support, guys.
How cool is that?? I voted for you Barry.
Barry,
Thanks for the shout out! Two mid-majors trying to take on the powerhouses of the SBC…
Thanks, Isaac. Looks like I’m headed for an early exit, though.
You’re welcome, Matt. Hope you make it into the next round.
Nice Legs…
David
You are not like Davidson, but the North Dakota State Bison. This is the first year of eligibility for both of you. Unfortunately, we won’t be able to watch Stephen Curry wow the crowd and you will most likely not make it to the next round. A #16 seed has never beaten a #1 seed have they? But like Curry, you are brilliant and I’m your #1 fan.
Thanks, babe. I would rather have your vote and lose, than all the other votes in the world and win.
Hey man,
I went and voted for ya. Some of the other blogs look way ahead of ya tho.
Thanks,
David
Barry,
We are neck and neck! Since we are both going to lose in the first round, how about a contest of our own?
Whoever loses buys the winner a book for less than 20-25 dollars?
Hey, David. Thanks for the support.
Matt–Deal. Let’s keep it under $20.00
Awesome! The competition just got exciting again!
This is hilarious. Oh my, what SBCers do!
Anything for a chance at a free book… Although I am currently losing!
Ronnica,
It is hilarious, isn’t, it, which is a good thing, because it would be mildly revolting if it wasn’t all in fun!
Matt,
We’re still awfully close. You could easily make a come-back!
