March Madness

Print out your brackets: it’s time for March Madness!  The first round begins tonight, and we’ve got three area teams in the chase: St. Joe’s, UDel, and Nova.  Nova’s my alma mater, so… CRUSH THEM, NOVA!  CRUSH THEM, I SAY!

I mean, may the best teams win.  Sportsmanship, etc.  So who are you rooting for?  UDel?

This bright blue pair of flip flops has “DELAWARE” printed on the straps in yellow letters, but the best part is YoUDee underneath the heel.  I heart mascots.  Find them at UDBookstore.com for $25.

St. Joe’s?

This unisex pair of flip flops has a black platform base with the Hawks logo printed on.  The sizes listed are men’s, so be careful which you pick before you buy!  Yours for $20 from Fanatics.com.

Or Nova?  (NOVA!)

This one’s a classic flip flop with “Wildcats” in a trippy font on a paisley backdrop.  Only available in small because we’re so popular all the other sizes have sold out, but if you’re a size 8 or 9, these will fit you!  Yours for $18 from Lady Fanatics.

Prefer almost anything to basketball, but still love brackets?  Don’t worry, I’ve got something for you too!

That’s right: my friends at BunnySlippers.com are having a Slipper Showdown!  They have a bracket of 16 pairs facing off in a battle to the death…I mean, until the cutest slipper wins.  Who will it be?  The mallard?  The blue Legos?  The zombies, with their mouths around your foot?  The s’mores?  (Yes, they have slippers that look like s’mores.  Mmmm, s’mores.) 

Sign up between now and Sunday for your chance to win some cash.  And hey, even if you don’t win, you get 10% off for just entering.  My pick for the winner?  The dragons.  Because I like to fill out brackets based on which mascot would slay the other if the two things were pitted against each other in real life, and I have yet to think of anything that can beat a dragon.  I’d be lying if I said that wasn’t part of the reason I picked Drexel for my master’s degree. 

D’awwww, these guys don’t look so tough, with their cute little faces and their shiny wings!  They have a one-inch layer of foam for you to walk on, too, so they’re comfy as well as adorable.  Yours for $25 from BunnySlippers.com.

So fill out whichever bracket you want, hold on tight, and here we go!  Go Nova!  Go dragons!
