It's late September, so it's time to start nominating some sports stories.
In the 1st quarter, the death of Joe Paterno edged out the Saints bounty scandal. In the 2nd, The Kent State/Kentucky baseball game which went 21 innings dominated the Wildcats NCAA Baseball Championship. Those 2 will be part of the 4-way grand finale match in 2013. Now it's time to find out what story from the past 3 months will join them.
So as always, nominations can involve championships, world records, announcements, moments, etc. After we get a minimum of 32 nominations, the tournament will start and we'll determine what story of the past 3 months will advance to the grand finale.
