Free 2009 BCS championship gear up for grabs with Gator Clause NCAA Tournament pool. Join now! It's free and you can cheat!

GAINESVILLE -- OK, if you're a loyal reader of Gator Clause, then you should know the drill by now. If you're new to the game, then listen up! It's time to give away cool Gators-related gear for free!

Enter the Official Gator Clause March Madness Pool and you could be the owner of a 2009 BCS championship buttondown beach shirt. That's right, folks. Gator Clause received this gift when we covered the Florida Gators win against Oklahoma and we never wore it. Instead, we put it away and saved it for Gators fans during March Madness. For the price of admission (and the price of admission is FREE!) you could wow all of your co-workers and friends with a piece of history! The tags are still on the shirt! It's old but it's new! It's throwback for free!

Last year's tournament give away went beautifully and some lucky Gators fan from Pennsylvania rocked a 2009 BCS championship hat featuring, no lie, the gopher from the movie Caddyshack. I would contend that this year's prize is even better. Here's all you have to do to win the shirt: Enter the Official Gator Clause March Madness Pool and click on my blog about 150 times a day (or once) and leave thought-provoking comments from time to time.

Here's the link to enter the Official Gator Clause March Madness Pool! CLICK ME! When you get to the link, click on "Join a Group" and search/enter/find the group named "Gator Clause". The group ID number is 102246. The group password (now this part is important) is "donovan". Make sure it's lowercase. Have fun and best of luck. Create as many brackets as you like. I don't care if you cheat. In fact, I encourage it!

COOLEST

EVER !

Too bad I find the randomness of NCAA brackets to be nothing short of mind numbing. It's the one aspect of the tourney that makes my eyes roll to the back of my skull. Just bring on the damn games. Screw all the guessing.

So is the winner based on best bracket or best smack?

[The Curse of Art Kehoe]

Best smack!

[GatorNation]

LOL the canes are upset they didnt make the NIT..dats a let down for the gators...wat a joke!!!!!!!!

[Joe Zagacki]

Kehoe is a shoo-in if it's best smack.

[JoeGoodyMiaHrld]

Sign up for the pool and talk all the smack you want! My tournament name: "Mr. Anonymous Eat My Short."

[GatorNation]

I hate to say it but we will be lucky to make it out of the first round. Is it just me or did we back into this tournament?

[The Curse of Art Kehoe]

At least we wont have to play Mississippi State in the tournament.

[The Curse of Art Kehoe]

Brantley is considered a future star, but he might be the fourth best quarterback in the state when the 2010 football season begins.

You hit the nail on the head with that one jo.

[The Curse of Art Kehoe]

At Florida, it's time for a coach on hold to make a decision.

Come on jo, You know they got Urbans meds straightend out. He will be back in time for spring ball. Or not.

[SNAPPED like a twig]

The operative word being "MIGHT" U cane tard.

Dream on. Beanpole will get driven into the ground and your season will be OVA! Brantley can't establish himself when he hasn't even been the starter yet U dreamy tard. You should concern yourself with the END of the season not the beginning. You hear now tard?

Highly unlikely that Brantley will be behind your starter.....Whipple, when all is said and done. BWAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

[Psssssssssssssssst... Cane Fan... r u there ?]

Deja Vu U All Ova Again

Any more pipe dream predictions left for U Cane Fan ?

BCS Game in Football ?

Post Season in Hoops ?

Omaha for de Beisbol team ?

How’s that being in a Conference, playing tough teams rather than being an Independant with 60 home games beating up on all the Snow Birds year after year and hosting Regionals working out for U ?

Damn, even I’m starting to feel sorry for U. But it fits U so well … Have a quiet Summer til U puff Ur chest Up “again” next Sept. after FAMU and before OSU and Pitt brings U right back to the level Ur at now … BELOW AVERAGE ATHLETICS.

Now take Ur seat and watch the Big Boys from Big Time College Athletic Programs show U how it’s done. On the playing fields and not with Ur Moufs.

Hell of a job this year Donna, Kirby, Randy n Frank . Can’t wait for Ur Encore.

Past, Present, or future it is what it is. Bottom line, The Canes have owned the gators in football. One win in two decades wont change that.

I'm not sure about me Jo (1st prize was kind of "tainted" by Ole Mrs. that season!), but I'm sure "Curse" and "Fakey" will be front and center for your tournament! Thanks for asking though.

Hey Alan!

Go 'canes!

[Rawpimple]

Canes crying about going home for the season. Cant wait until football season and then the real Canes crying will begin!!!!

This year is the Canes year...BAWHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHHAAHAH sounds like every preseason! Reality will hurt the hardest this year for these Canes.

[Great gooogly mooogly]

The question still remains...

Even IF he switched back to us, and we did have a scholly, do you really think we'd take him?

IMHO, I don't!

GO CANES!!!

Posted by: 360Cane | March 15, 2010 at 01:12 PM

ahhh the smell of delusion. Maybe your right cane tard. We know RanShan avoids the big studs like the plague.

It's all moot. U NEVER had a shot.

[ReptilesRule]

Jo, I just read that article about Florida Spring Football. Urban Meyer not coming back?? John Brantley the 4th best QB in the state. I only have one question...when did you start taking illegal drugs???

[JoeGoodyMiaHrld]

Fourth best in the state is pretty good for never before being a starter. I'm sure I can find a few people here who think he will move up the list quickly.

There were A few people on here that said Tebow would be A first round draft pick also jo. Hey Kehoe, Do your fingers hurt after getting the hammer?

[Sarasota 'cane]

Jo-

I changed my mind and I am in the your tourny. I look forward to some intense competition and invite you all to the basement for roundball, meatloaf, and good times!

Go 'canes!

[The Curse of Brock Berlin]

Take BYU in the first round Fakey. Its A lock!

[The Curse of Brock Berlin]

Oh I almost forgot. Del said not to take it personal, Its just business.

[Sarasota 'cane]

Brock, thanks for the tip - can you help me with my bracket then. I can't find the 'canes on my NCAA or NIT one. I wanted to pick them to go all the way in both because they have SWAGGER.

[The Curse of Brock Berlin]

I feel you Fakey but you dont want my advice. I signed with the gators out of high school remember. Oh well, at least I got to play with the canes and rip your hearts out.

[If mom lets you play]

The BYU things A no brainer, A twelve year old could make that pick so you should do well kehoe.

[Sarasota 'cane]

"It helped us more than you'll ever know!"

Go 'canes!

[JoeGoodyMiaHrld]

"It helped us more than you'll ever know!"

That should be your bracket name, Fakey.

[JoeGoodyMiaHrld]

OK, here's a glimpse of the greatest bracket ever selected by man or beast: UTEP over Vanderbilt.

[He is who he says he is. Or is he?]

Posted by: Sarasota 'cane | March 16, 2010 at 10:16 AM

When Shannon made that statement Fakey he was speaking of the Seminole trio. We got Armstrong and Dye the gators got Dubose. They silently committed after the UF - UM game so maybe it has some validity. Fakey is good jo but I like POSER better!

[Sarasota 'cane]

Jo,

Interesting, I have Vandy in the championship game too!

Go 'canes!

I hope u bet the over u gator losers

[Sarasota 'cane]

Nice try "D" Bag!

We have to finish better then 3rd place in the ACC Coastal this year.

Go 'canes!

[Sarasota 'cane]

"It helped us more than you'll ever know!"

That should be your bracket name, Fakey.

This is awesome Jo! I have a Gator fan who pretends to be me, and a 'cane fan who wants everyone to think that they're posts are from me! I'm a "shoe-in" for "Most Popular" when the Gator Clause yearbook comes out! Thanks "Fakey", and thanks to whoever the 'cane cloaker is!

Hey Alan!

Go 'canes!

[Sarasota 'cane]

I am the party star, I am popular!

Hey Alan!

Go 'canes!

[The Curse of Brock Berlin]

Been to the Sentinel lately fakey. Oh thats right you got the HAMMER. Those fingers must still be sore. Pretty funny that jo called you out dont you think?

[Sarasota 'cane]

It's fun, I got a bracket, enjoy life - our canes suck!

Hey Alan!

Go 'canes!

[Daniel]

I will say that the avatar on the Gator Clause Bracket for Sarasota whether it be a fake or not is hilarious.

[Sarasota 'cane]

OK Jo I got a bracket. "Fakey" is Sarasota.cane, and I'm Sarasota_cane. I'll fill out the bracket later. Daniel I only saw the default avatar for "Fakey's" bracket.

Hey Alan!

Go 'canes!

[Seantrel Henderson's Dad]

Dumb cane homer of the week:

The question still remains...

Even IF he switched back to us, and we did have a scholly, do you really think we'd take him?

IMHO, I don't!

GO CANES!!!

Posted by: 360Cane | March 15, 2010 at 01:12 PM

[Sarasota 'cane]

Doesn't matter, we dropped Henderson. He isn't U material.

[Sergeant Schultz....I know nothing!]

Tebow is dudding out for da godawful uf "pro day" which usually means no ALL PROS.
