We are back with another edition of The Nielson Show coming at you this fine Tombstone Tuesday morning! Like we always do, Morning Announcements from 100.3 The Bear was the first segment we hit on today's show. We recapped everything from the night before.

We continue the whipping boy bracket and today we voted between either Bouchard or Poti.
