The last four days have been kind of a blur for the Lunatic.\u00a0 Normally, I stay ahead of the Handicapping so it is not that bad, but when I fall behind, it gets tough to catch up.\u00a0 Thank goodness for Sunday.<\/p>\n
I was able to finally get a full night’s sleep last night, even with the Alabama game going to close to midnight.\u00a0 Alabama kind of ran away with the second half, so I honestly drifted in and out of the game.<\/p>\n
And I was able to then get a lot of the administrative work done while Xavier ran away from Pitt.\u00a0 And managed to get most of it done before the 2nd half started of the exciting Kansas State \/ Kentucky game (Kentucky just went on a 9-0 run to take a 4 point lead).<\/p>\n
At this point, I believe I have caught up the site with all payments that I have received.\u00a0 So, if you know you paid and the site says differently, send me an email and I will look at what happened.\u00a0 The Lunatic Collection Agency is not known for its excellent accounting services, so just give me a heads up.<\/p>\n
A special thank you to long time pool supporter Jim Carini.\u00a0 He noticed that in the standings files, I had mixed up the West and Midwest regions.\u00a0 I think I have fixed that error on the site (although please let me know if there are any other issues).<\/p>\n
The handicapping site has been updated with results.\u00a0 I am surprisingly doing amazingly well.\u00a0 I am down 6 imaginary dollars picking against the spreads (24-20 overall – so the vig is what has me down).\u00a0 But I am crushing the totals – up 282 imaginary dollars (30-14).\u00a0 Of course, I already lost 60 on the Xavier game, so maybe everything is coming back to normal.\u00a0 I should learn never to lock any of the games.\u00a0 But at least I don’t have 8 new lines of games to have to predict – it is nice to know that I will have 4 full days to make the next 8 picks.<\/p>\n
I also did amazingly well on the bracketology before the start of the tournament.\u00a0 I think I actually beat some of the press experts, which makes me happy.\u00a0 I have more research to do on that – which might have to wait for a game that isn’t as exciting as the Kansas State \/ Kentucky game – Kentucky just had a huge dunk to take a 41-39 lead.<\/p>\n
And of course, at 7:45 pm Purdue will be playing Florida Atlantic.\u00a0 Oh wait.\u00a0 Guess not everything is going well.\u00a0 I keep hoping in my sleep-deprived state that it was just a dream that FDU won.\u00a0 It had to be – right.\u00a0 Still, enjoy the 2nd round games on a wonderful Sunday.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
