The Lunatic has really fallen asleep at the wheel this year.  First, he gets 3 teams wrong in his bracketology – which will deserve a tremendously long rant on its own.

Then, once I got the brackets loaded and rules sheet out, I looked briefly at a couple articles and fell asleep.  It is funny that as you get older, you start to understand your parents more.  I remember not understanding why my dad wanted to go to sleep so early when I was a teen.  I was young and wanted to stay up as late as I could.  Now, I find that I fall asleep on the couch watching whatever investigative crime show my wife turns on (some of them are crazy interesting – it does not matter, if the kids are finally asleep, my brain starts to shut down).

So, last night, after the high of doing my bracketology, the bigger high of getting to see Selection Sunday, the work of loading the brackets (and trying to find somewhere that validates the ranking of the 4 number one seeds to determine which regional finalists would play each other in the Final Four – I find that the TV show does a vague job of saying this, and it would be horrible if I entered the brackets in the wrong order), and then the low of missing 3 teams, I was exhausted.  And so I fell asleep.

Without creating the cheat sheets!!!!!   I can not believe that I forgot to create the cheat sheets!!!!  Some of us depend on this information.  Most of us don’t want to create a model to do all of this – and it can be helpful when comparing the teams to have a summary of information side by side.  So, I want to help as many of you as possible – and so I create the cheat sheets.  Even if they are a day late.

Just to show how much of a mess I am, I went into my code, created the sheets, made sure all the games were right on the HTML page, loaded them up to the Webpage, and made sure the link was correct.  And I happily see that the page is loaded.  And then I wince in pain – as the title says “2017 Stomp the Lunatic Cheat Sheet”.

It is not 2017 – it is 2019.  That being said, the information in the cheat sheet is for the 2019 tournament.   For now, so it is available, I will leave it with its bad title.  I need to help kids with homework – while I want to be a ranting Lunatic, kids always come first.   I will come back after bed time to rant some more – assuming I don’t continue to fall asleep at the wheel.
