Play “What’s Your College Knowledge” and You Could Win a $50 Gift Card to Original Retro Brand
You’ve probably watched my shows on Ride The Pine and been like, “damn Alex looks good!” I agree with you and that is mostly in part to the great shirts from Original Retro Brand.
Now I have an opportunity for you to win a $5o gift card to Original Retro if you participate in their “What’s Your College Knowledge” contest. Their blogger/Social Media guru, Andy, picks 5 College Basketball games on Monday or Tuesday and if you pick more winners than Andy you CAN WIN!
For all the details on how you can enter, check out the Original Retro Brand Blog.
But “the kid” wouldn’t hang you out to dry. (I’m “the kid” in this scenario) I give you my opinion and commentary on who I think the winners will be as you try to beat Andy.

ALEX — GAME 1: 2/23 — # 5 DUKE (23–4) @# 15 Florida State (19–7): I hate Duke. HATE!I’ll never forgive them for ruining my childhood when they beat UNLV and stopped their back-to-back undefeated run. I’ll never forgive them for ruining the Fab Five’s hopes and dreams as Freshmen. But Duke is hot after that buzzer-beater win over UNC and looking for payback. As much as it pains me, Duke wins (I just threw up in my mouth).
ANDY: How’s that taste sir? The Noles have the Dukey’s (Dooky’s ?) number — Beat ’em last year on their home court and will do it again. Pitchfork-smitchfork — Fear the Spear! SEMINOLES — 64, BLUE DEVILS — 61.
ALEX — GAME 2: 2/23 — # 17 Louisville (21–6) @ Cincinnati (19–8): Every game that Louisville plays, I hold out hope that Rick Pitino will rock that all-white suit again. The only thing that could top that is an all-red suit. Wait, what are we talking about again? Oh yeah, basketball. Louisville struggled against DePaul just a few days ago and the Bearcats are rolling, fighting for a spot in the dance. Cincy wins in a Nick Van Exel upset special.
ANDY: Your pick just isn’t “suit-able” Get it? Pitino’s suits? Ok, that’s beside the point. You forget the Cardinals lost that DePaul game in OT, and had nearly beat # 2 Syracuse the game before losing by just one point. CARDINALS — 70, BEARCATS -65.
ALEX — GAME 3: 2/23 — Brigham Young (11–3) @ Gonzaga (11–3): Shawn Bradley is the highest draft pick to come out of either of these schools. Sad. Gonzaga has had a long history of great players, but the first thing that pops into my mind when I hear Gonzaga is Dan Dickau’s wife. Google her. Top 10 hottest basketball wives ever. How do you cheer against that? Zags.
ANDY: Googled. I can’t argue with your top 10 assessment which is indisputable, but I’m still picking the Cougs. Rookie WCC member makes statement that they’re the new # 1 in town. COUGARS — 64, BULLDOGS — 58
ALEX — GAME 4: 2/25 — # 3 Missouri (25–2) @ # 4 Kansas (22–5): I didn’t miss a second of Mizzou’s win over Kansas earlier in the season. One of the best games of the year. This is a bitter rivalry that potentially could
be coming to an end with Mizzou leaving to go to theSEC which has angered Kansas. Like never play again, ever, angry. I can’t imagine Kansas losing this game at home. Too much pride. Kansas.
ANDY: Oh the pain. That is for Missouri when they play SEC football. AND for the beatdown they’ll take at Allen Fieldhouse. AND for me agreeing with you on a pick. JAYHAWKS — 78, TIGERS — 65.
ALEX — GAME 5: 2/27 — # 20 Notre Dame (19–8) @ # 9 Georgetown (20–5): I wonder how many matching tie/highlighters that former Notre Dame head coach Digger Phelps owns? Anyway, this is going to be the game of the week. The Hoyas have a great defense and Notre Dame just overcame a twenty point deficit against Villanova. I wouldn’t be surprised if this game goes into OT. Georgetown wins because I have an East coast bias.
ANDY: Forget your East Coast bias — what’s with your suit and tie fetish? Stick withOriginal Retro Brand shirts buddy! The only Bulldogs I like come from Georgia and that’s that. FIGHTING IRISH — 64, HOYAS — 60.
