If enough people express interest, I’ll run a bracket challenge for Chezy Champs.

I know 2014 was crazy, but this would be a whole new level.

I’ve heard that San Jose gives out free sandbags… They might run out of em in September.

I’m interested! I’ve already made a bracket.

Sounds like a great time. I hope you do it!

There’s always steel anchors.

Perhaps they’re aiming to score at least two of the 25 point rewards for this question rather than 4 of the 100. There are very good odds they score 25 points off of 1-2 of these teams.
