Andrew Bogut is ESPN's player of the year

It has been a great year for the University of Utah Athletic Department, and it just became even better. Andrew Bogut was just named ESPN.com's National Player of the year today. ESPN also announced it's Men's College Basketball All American team, which included Bogut, Chris Paul (Wake Forest), JJ Redick (Duke), Wayne Simien (Kansas), and Sean May (North Carolina).

As Bogut is definately leaving Utah after this season to go to the NBA, the Utes will have a player in the top 5 of the NFL (Alex Smith) and NBA drafts in the same season, with rumors of each going as high as number one overall.

Hey:

Wanted to invite you to participate in the first ever and first annual NCAA Tournament Bracket for Bloggers (only), a "Bloggers Bracket" if you will.

The site -- including the "Tournameng Genie" is already live. After creating an account, you'll be able to play around with the Genie (you won't be dissapointed) and, after the Selection Special, enter your picks.

Check it out at http://www.yocohoops.com.

Thanks!

P.S. If you like what you see, please add a link to the bloggers bracket on your site. I'd love for it become a blogosphere-wide contest.
