March Madness menu: bison, buckeyes and boilermakers

buckeye

Who has a rooting interest? Did fans have a food tradition at your alma mater?

Morton's is having a contest. If you guess the last four teams remaining, you can win dinner for four at a participating restaurant.

I didn't find much to eat on the tournament menu.

The most edible and potable mascots I could find were bison (Bucknell), boilermakers (Purdue) and buckeyes (OSU)

[I think four (or more) teams have the bulldog as their mascots. Nope, just three -- Georgia, UNC Asheville, and Butler Mississippi State. Four Tigers, though]

bulldog update!

I once worked with a woman from Gallipolis, Ohio, who would make buckeyes for everyone as a Christmas gift. Here's a recipe on allrecipes.com. Any of our favorite food bloggers have a good buckeye recipe?

Who's had good bison lately?


Between St. Patrick's Day and Round 1, is anyone expecting to get any work done on Thursday and Friday.

Nope, so why don't you go join Matt Vensel at Hightopps Backstage Grill on Thursday (all day) for the Baltimore Sun Tournament Tweetup

I believe you may have had it right the first time:

Butler and Gonzaga are both Bulldogs and both made the tournament. Mississippi State is not in the tournament.

I don't know what I was looking at? Maybe last year's?

Though I guess, technically, Georgetown has a bulldog mascott, too, even though they are known as the Hoyas.
