Ten reasons to do the Stomp the Lunatic Second Chance Pool

• You no longer have a Final Four team left in your real bracket after what you thought was a creative pick of a 1 seed, 2 seed, 3 seed and 4 seed of Xavier, Cincinnati, Michigan State and Wichita State has blown up in the first weekend.
• You want another chance to say that you had a perfect bracket after your billion dollar picks were ruined when UMBC became the first 16 seed to beat a 1 seed – sorry Virginia fans.
• Now that you know that a 98 year old nun (Sister Jean Dolores-Schmidt) is providing spiritual guidance to Loyola – Chicago and they have managed to win their two games on last second shots, you know the Ramblers are destined to win the tournament.
• Your daughter who doesn’t understand the scoring system and picked schools based on where her grandparents went to school and your son who picks all the games based on who is the higher seed are both beating you in the pool and you want another chance to redeem yourself
• Your favorite school has been eliminated and so you now can pick teams intelligently to show off how much you know about basketball, and you know you will be able to easily beat the Lunatic since his school, Purdue, is still alive in the tournament.
• You have decided that all the teams you pick are jinxed, and since there are still schools out there that you don’t like, you want to test the theory by picking them. If you have that power (like the Lunatic does), you might as well use that power for good (let me suggest taking Kentucky and Syracuse).
• You know that no 5 seed or 9 seed has ever won the tournament, and with as crazy as this year’s tournament has been at breaking historic trends, you know that #5 Kentucky, #9 Florida State, #5 West Virginia and #5 Clemson are destined to end that streak as well.
• With it being the first day of Spring tomorrow and anticipating the second chance that Mother Nature is giving Virginia by dropping 3-5 inches of snow, you want a second chance to pick schools in locations most likely to get snow (Loyola-Chicago, Michigan, West Virginia or Villanova (take your pick – both get a lot), and Syracuse.
• It is another – and more importantly, last chance in 2018 to STOMP THE LUNATIC!
• It’s absolutely FREE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

That’s right – your entry fee already covers your Second Chance Pool entry – and so there is absolutely no good reason not to do the Second Chance Pool.

You even have all Thursday afternoon to do them, since the games don’t start until 7:10 pm EST. Good luck to all of you!!!!
