2024 was such a wonderful March for the Lunatic. The Lunatic still got beat, but getting to watch his Boilers go all the way to the championship game was a dream come true. Sure – it would have been better had the Connecticut Huskies didn’t crush us in the final. But, honestly, I wasn’t sure I was ever going to get to watch my Boilers play in the Final 4 – so making it to the championship game was amazing.

Of course, with my luck, there is always something new to deal with. Last year, I watched as my entire WordPress site got deleted. This year, I watched as all my databases got moved to new servers so that none of my scripts worked. And to make me work harder, the NCAA modified their site a little bit – so will have to see how much sleep deprivation I have while I try to pull the box scores.

At this point, the most important part of the website is ready – I fixed all the database links so that the pages you use to register for the pool and enter your picks all work and point to the new 2025 tables. And so, I am happy to announce the 2025 Stomp the Lunatic tournament!!!!!

The Lunatic is back for another month of sleep deprivation, looking through stat sheets in a foolish attempt to show he can predict college basketball games.  This will likely end in a thorough stomping, but it should be a wild and entertaining ride.

I will eventually send out an email to invite you all to Stomp the Lunatic!  But I can’t send out an email stating that it must be March if it is still February.  Not to mention we all know that I am horrible at managing my email lists.

That being said, Selection Sunday is just three weeks away.  March 16th will be here before we know it. Have no fears – while the Lunatic might have tons of edits that he wants to make to his website, the Lunatic will be ready for the NCAA Tournament to start.

While it is certainly not necessary, the registration link is live for this year’s tournament (that being said, it is typically easier to register when you enter your picks). The Lunatic’s favorite time of the year is almost here – I hope that all of you are ready to STOMP THE LUNATIC!!!!!
