With each round of the NCAA Tournament we will be awarding points in the Billy Packer Chronicles! Our first vote combines the top quotes from the First Four and the First Round (or Second Round as the NCAA ridiculously want you to believe, why don’t they just try to make us go by the metric system while they’re at it). You know the drill. We’ll roll out 10+ quotes for you to pick from representing a given round of the tournament. You can vote for up to five. After the weekend, we’ll tally up the votes giving 10 points to the top votegetter all the way down to 1 point for 10th place. A new Chronicles goes out today and tomorrow with the Second Round and a new poll will be out Monday with the best quotes from the Round of 32. At the end of the tournament, the announcer with the most points wins our first ever Billies title.
