Housekeeping at ITB

Its Friday, Brian Kelly just got the Notre Dame job and ITB's got some news for you.

First and foremost let's congratulate Gridmaven for winning the In The Bleacher's 2009 College Football Pick 'Em Contest.

*We apologize, during the changing of the guard at the website there was a minor month or so lapse in the Pick 'Em contest.

Secondly, here's the information for the College Bowl Pick 'Em Contest for this season. We're doing a confidence contest so you rate your confidence in your picks and get them in. The Pick 'Em starts with the first bowl's kick off and the picks are locked on the 26th. We have a few XBox games and some team cell phone cases to give away so hopefully you won't go home empty handed should you win.

Tell your friends and lets have a grand old time folks.

Thirdly we've got a few new links in our sidebar for everyone to check out and enjoy. Newly added is the link to ITB Podcast regular Rob Harley from Harley in the Huddle. There's a new link for Jeremy Mauss and the rest of the folks over at MWC Connection and we've added two MAC Blogs to the site; UB Bull Run and Fire Up Chips.

We've also added the Stiff Arm Trophy (dot) Com to our blog roll. They're quickly becoming the Heisman experts as ESPN has used their projections in this close race. Also added is Chris Steuber at NFL Draft Pro, he's got great insight into how the guys we've watched all season project on the next level.

Last but not least we're going to give some love to Gameday Boutique. Here at ITB we know the Christmas season is approaching which means its time to give gifts, check out their site for some gift ideas for the lady.

Don't worry we'll have our analysis of the Kelly hire soon as the smoke settles and knee jerk reaction has subsided. Until then enjoy your holiday parties by drinking the frattiest of egg nogs.
