Contest Update and a Thank You Gift

There's still time to win a prize. 

We're still early yet, but a few people in our group have already established themselves in the 99th percentile of all participants in the bowl pick 'em contest. Jafronius is the leader right now, with maxleemar and GLM1 following close behind. There's been a number of upsets already, which explains my dreadful position. At least, that's what I'm going to tell myself.

If you haven't made your Belk Bowl pick yet, head out to the original post and comment away. This is a simple one as you just have to pick the final score. Closest guess wins some shiny new Topps stuff. The game itself is on New Year's Eve, so you have until kickoff.

Finally, a kind TCDB denizen (and Blazers fan?!) named Steven sent along the badge you see at the top of the post as a thank you for performing some sort of task on the website. It's a souvenir from the first post-9/11 game at the Rose Garden Arena here in Portland. I had never seen one of these before. It's an interesting piece of history for sure.
