The Peanut Gallery
So to those new to the Battle, every week or so we do a post highlighting the various other posts, commentary, and such we uncover. The first battle is still a way off, but here are some tidbits to keep you occupied until then:
- SLJ has highlighted this year’s BoB in here.
- Big Kahuna Judge Richard Peck is a 1956 graduate of DePauw University and they’ve noticed his role in our competition.
- Eric Carpenter is running his bracket contest again. Go here to try your luck.
- Betsy Bird has told us her favorite to win as has Travis.
- Kara’s weeping tears of joy at our return.
- Madigan’s thinking the winner is going to be Hereville! Check out her brackets and reasons here.
- Prescott Library at Wheeler School has a wonderful display that they’ve got photos of on their facebook page and flickr.
If you have a post we’ve overlooked, please mention it in the comments and we’ll add it in here.
