Blogathon 2016 Schedule

Well, it's Blogathon time again! Unfortunately, we were not able to get a Blogathon preview together for 2016. (Sorry to our past listeners. Hopefully we'll get that going again next year!) Still, be sure to check out all of Speedgeek's race previews and our 2016 Blogathon Pick 'Em Challenge.

Once again, our Blogathon coverage will include our Pick 'Em Challenge, where the three GBS writers pick winners for many of the events taking place this weekend.

We will be playing Mario Kart again this year. We'll be starting at 9:00 p.m. on Saturday, which is an hour before racing coverage goes off of FS2, and will play until 11:00. If you want to join us, add Mike's network ID: radiantradish. Leave a message here if you want us to look for you.

We will also be screening and live-blogging during Crackerjack, a wacky (and likely awful) softball movie that is available to stream on Netflix. We'll be pressing "play" on Netflix at 11:30 p.m., so feel free to watch along with us and comment on the live-blog post. Bad movies are fun!

A special event for us this weekend is the Big 12/SEC Challenge, which will take place throughout the day on Saturday. My LSU Tigers will host No. 1 Oklahoma, while Kansas will face Kentucky, and Iowa State will travel to Texas A&M. Overall, there are 10 games in the challenge, in addition to lots of other basketball being played around the country.

Below are highlights of the live events available to watch during the weekend. All times are Eastern.
