“If you put your effort and concentration into playing to your potential, to be the best that you can be, I don’t care what the scoreboard says at the end of the game, in my book we’re gonna be winners.”
-Hoosiers 1986

Hoosiers is one of our all time favorites, but let’s be honest. Most of you are going to be losers this year. We hate to say it, but those of you looking for NCAA March Madness glory will likely burn out in flames. You’ll either fail to pick the UCSB upset or you’ll show too much allegiance to your alma mater. You might as well go ahead and flush that $20 bracket down the toilet.

However, we do know one way that you can be a winner, even when you lose two of your final four picks in the first round. Our friends at AirPlus are running a terrific promotion and all of the proceeds will be donated to Care & Share India, a program that benefits over 5,000 children living in the villages of Vijayawada, in the southern Indian state of Andhra Pradesh. Even more impressive, AirPlus will be doubling any donations they receive beyond the first $1,000. Plus, the individual with the best bracket will win an 8GB, Flip HD camcorder.

Click here for the details. Entries must be submitted by 5pm EDT on Wednesday, March 17. The contest is limited to the first 400 participants, so work some bracket magic and become a winner today!
