What were we thinking? For the first time in the storied history of Muscle Car Match-Ups (four years, if you’re counting), we included old-school hot rods in our field of 32.

For example: How would a Superbird fare against a Cyclone? How
And, we’re back. Spring is in the air, and other than drive around with the windows down, filling out tournament brackets is at the top of our I Want To Do That lists. So that’s what we’re doing, and you’re invited to join us. What college basketball has ingrained in our culture, we’ve brought
