From our sponsors at The Guild:
Portland National Corn Dog Day Party
Saturday, March 19
11:30 a.m. | FREE
theguildpub.com

$1.50 Corndogs, tater tots, and PBR all day.

The Guild Public House will be showing all NCAA games and the Timbers season opener.

Oregon’s Governor signed a proclamation this week officially recognizing National Corndog Day. We’ll have an original proclamation on display.  Come and check it out!

National Corn Dog Day coincides with the first Saturday of ¬Å“the big men’s college basketball tournament¬Â (this year it's March 19th). For all you basketball mad types, this particular day is significant because it is the one day a year that a quadruple-header of tournament action is broadcast live nationally.

Think about it, 7-8 hours of college hoops from start to finish, without having to change the channel. Such an occasion deserves a unique way to celebrate. Join us and pay homage by catching up with friends, enjoying a few laughs, and most importantly, enjoying a steady diet of corndogs! Lots of corndogs¬Â¦.

Pipeline has several pairs of tickets to see some of the great acts coming to this year’s Soul’d Out Music Festival. To win, comment on the individual posts linked below why you would like to attend. Winner will be drawn and emailed on Monday, March 21.

-----------------

The Blazers face the Cleveland Cavaliers at home tonight.They’re in the bottom half of the league in PPG, RPB, APG and points allow. They also play poorly on the road (currently 5-28).

The only positive thing you can say about them is that they’re coming off a 97-93 road win last night in Sacramento against the Kings. However, that just means they’re going to be playing on tired legs tonight.

The on Cavaliers on paper:
Starting five: Alonzo Gee, Samardo Samuels, J.J. Hickson, Ramon Sessions, Anthony Parker
Off the bench: Joey Grahm, Ryan Hollins, Daniel Gibson, Luke Harangody, Manny Harris, Christian Evenga
