Ok, I have to ask…will there be a silimar trophy for our 2013 March Madness tourney?

I think if I had a trophy like that to shoot for I might make more careful picks next time.

Were gonna see how it goes barecycles. I would love to do one but id have to take shipping into account. Also the wife and i have a little one on the way (t minus 72 hours actually) so my commitments be a changin.

We will rock another tourney challenge tho …. Maybe we should start campaigning now ;)

You can see a bit on the bottom ledt but most of it is hidden on the back of the football.

Very nice, I love the character in the wood. That thing had to be a pain to clamp still while you worked on it.

Thanks buddy. It was a nightmare to clamp down. I used all kinds of scraps, wedges, and c clamps to keep it put while shaving / planing / butchering it. This year we are going to add name plaques around the base for the last 6 years winners.

I just realized how crappy that pic is. Thanks for reviving my post Maur.
