http://www.wgr550.com/Schopp-and-Bulldo ... ts/6597205 Welcome to Selection Wednesday as we officially reveal the field of Schopp and the Bulldog's Buffalo Brackets, a competition to decide the top Buffalo athlete. Before you check out the seeds or print out the brackets to follow along at home (we spared no expense) here are the rules of this prestigious event. 1) All decisions to advance someone to the next round should be based on two criteria: A) Performance on the field B) Importance to the Buffalo sports' community 2) As our in-house bracketologist, the Bulldog will make the selections as to who will advance from round 1 to round 2. 3) After the field is whittled down to 32, our listeners will vote using our web poll to determine the winners of each matchup. Seems easy and fun? Good. Now...here are your seeds! If you want to print out our high-tech brackets, click this link!
