First, let’s take a look at some of the Jayhawk-themed goodies we have to share with you:
In addition, we have $200 in gift certificates to Power and Light District. We also have some KUsports.com bottle openers and T-shirts as well.
Of course, to win these prizes there are certain things you’ll have to do. Take a gander at some of the contests we have planned:
On Twitter:
1) Those who tweet with the #kubball hashtag will be eligible to either win a Pizza Bar gift card or An Incredible Year, our book documenting the 2008 championship season. Winners will be notified via Direct Message, so MAKE SURE you’re following @KUSports to be eligible. We’ll pick two winners every 24 hours starting at 12:01 a.m. on Thursday.
2) Tweet @KUSports and with the #kubball hashtag and include a link to a photo of you, a KSU fan and a Mizzou fan. The fans must be human. Your hamster and dog wearing a KSU shirt and MU shirt will not count. The photo is your entry to win an autographed copy of An Incredible Year. We will pick one photo at random as our winner. Winners will be notified via DM so you must be following @KUSports. Deadline to submit is midnight on Saturday 3/13. Winner will be announced on 3/15. Photos will be uploaded to our Facebook page AFTER the contest.
On KUsports.com:
1) Every time you
“>submit a fan photo of you in your Jayhawk best, you’ll be entered to win a prize. We’ll give away a prize package every day KU plays in the Big 12 Tournament and, while supplies last, through the NCAA tournament as well. Among the items you might find in our prize packages: KUsports.com T-shirts, KUsports.com bottle openers, Jayhawk ear buds, Jayhawk license plate frames, P&L gift certificates, perhaps even Jayhawk SNUGGIE.
2) This year, we will also be bringing back our popular NCAA Tournament Bracket Competition. Last year, we had 2,079 people complete a bracket; this year we hope to see 3,000 or more. We’re still settling on the grand prize, but rest assured, it will be awesome. Entries will start as soon as we can get the bracket setup after Selection Sunday (so probably an hour or so after the bracket is revealed) and new entries will no longer be accepted 15 minutes before the scheduled tip-off of the first-game of the round of 64.
In person:
1) Most of those prizes in the picture above are for those who stop by our booth near the stairs of the Live Block at Power and Light District. People who stop by our booth will have a chance to win beads, coozies, coasters — and of course T-shirts, bottle openers and gift certificates. While you’re there, you can upload your KU fan photos straight to KUsports.com, to your Facebook profile, to our Facebook page, follow us on Twitter, sign up for SMS and e-mail score alerts, watch the Game Day Cram session, watch the 6Sports game preview and — at 4 p.m. on Thursday and a time TBA later on other days — watch the live recording of Spodcasters, with Tom Keegan, Jesse Newell and possibly other guests. One lucky fan may have the chance to join them in discussing KU’s first match-up in the Big 12 Tournament.
