A Little Extra On the Line

While pouring over your brackets you may have noticed an intriguing potential second round match up. If Michigan State beats New Mexico State and Maryland tops Houston, the Spartans and the Terps will meet in the round of 32.

You may know that I work in East Lansing and C.J. Mahaney lives in Maryland. I’m pulling for the Green and white of course and C.J. is cheering on the mighty Terapins. We figure a friendly wager is in order (assuming both teams make it out of the first round; if not, all bets are off). The standard “I’ll shave my head if my team loses” did not seem like a fair bet. So here’s what we came up with.

If Michigan State wins, C.J. must…

1. Come preach at University Reformed Church again.

2. Write a blog post about why the Spartans are the superior basketball team.

3. And post a photo of himself wearing MSU attire.

If Maryland wins, I must…

1. Go preach at Covenant Life Church.

2. Blog about the awesomeness of Maryland basketball.

3. And show the world what I look like in Maryland gear (no turtle I’m told).

I hope Maryland squeaks by Houston in triple overtime so they can meet Sparty on his run to another Final Four.
