UPDATE: Results of the 2020-21 Gameday on Rocky Top Bracket Challenge

[UPDATE: 4.6.21] There’s a winner. You can see the complete standings here. Thanks for playing!

Man, what a year. COVID, quarantines, ruthless swabs wielded by kind-hearted but masochistic healthcare workers tickling the backs of your eyeballs, nagging injuries, vexing inconsistency, and literally getting your face broken just when you’re ready to roll. Let me say it again: Man, what a year.

But now it all comes down to this. March Madness. The Big Dance. Win or Go Home.

Our part as fans? Brackets. We have to fill them out. It’s imperative that we do our duty as Americans, as this act in service of our country will unite our people and save our nation.

Or something like that.

Now that the bracket has been announced, be sure to join the Gameday on Rocky Top 2020 Bracket Challenge. The reward for fulfilling your patriotic duty in our little corner of the internet? Bragging rights. Hey, smaller ponds don’t have sharks, you know what I mean? Besides, you’re not going to win that million dollars or that car or that trip to Patagonia anyway. No matter your level of skill or knowledge, those things go to clueless officemates still wondering what’s up with all the bouncing and jumping, all the while trying to figure out why their TV suddenly developed an incessant squeak. I don’t know, man, it doesn’t happen during the commercials. Weird.

So here’s your to-do list:

• Sign up now.
• Come up with a snappy bracket name.
• Make your picks.
• Brag.

Have fun, and Go Vols.
