Bracket contest winners and t-shirts

Thanks to everyone for playing the bracket contest.
I had a lot of fun with it, even if I did get destroyed (damn Pac-10 loyalty!)

It's something that we will definitely do again in the future. I am hoping to do future contests with the baseball tournament, Pac-10 football picks and a bowl pick 'em.

Congratulations to our bracket contest winners!

1. Whitney Loper (269 points) - picked all 4 final four teams (way to go out on a limb there - four number ones :-) )
   
2. Scott Baranick (263 points) - one of only three people to pick Kansas to win
   
3. Dylan Darling (255 points) - duck fan whose insane duck loyalty cost him
   

Thankfully disaster was averted and Duck fan (and former Duck mascot) Dylan Darling was pushed down to 3rd place after leading earlier. Whitney and Scott made great picks and rose in the standings as the tourney went on.

You are all the lucky recipients of a brand new OSUBeaverSports.com t-shirt!

Some new imporovements

I've added a few new improvements to the site over the past week or so.

1. Keep me logged in - this feature will allow you to stay logged into the site. No more logging in every time you want to do something on the site.
2. Simple filter/sort - it's now a lot simpler to filter and sort messages. Advanced options are still available via the advanced tab.
3. Improved the message rendering. Message threads have always looked pretty nice on Firefox, but they looked pretty bad on Internet Explorer. It now looks even better in both browsers.

More improvements will be coming soon...
