It apparently shows.  After dinner, I figured I would work on my bracketology for a while.  I was going to watch the Georgia vs. Oklahoma game simply to realize I don&#8217;t get the games on the SEC Network.  So annoyed at that.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Well, I kept going on the bracketology &#8211; to formulate my final version of the bubble.  Was annoyed at the teams that might make it in that probably are not worthy of a bid.  Still not a fan of a 6-12 SEC team making it in the tournament, but after looking at the bubble, I sadly believe it could happen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Of course, when I finished the page &#8211; my formatting of my bracketology page got all messed up to the point that I can&#8217;t publish it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With it being after 11 pm, I am fading fast and haven&#8217;t even been able to validate my box scores.  So much to do &#8211; and so little time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I will mention this &#8211; which might add to my disgust of this year&#8217;s bubble.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In the SEC, Vanderbilt lost to Texas making the conference even more confusing.  It will get worse if Oklahoma can beat Georgia in the game I can not watch &#8211; its a two point game with about 9 to play.  Ohio State, West Virginia and Cincinnati all lost. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It wasn&#8217;t all bad for the bubble &#8211; North Carolina won their game by 20.  Baylor won by 14.   But the Lunatic doesn&#8217;t know that he can make it much longer before slumber overtakes him.  So, before going to bed, have to at least congratulate McNeese and American &#8211; who punched their tickets to the dance with victories in the conference finals.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Well, I got home late from work today &#8211; not making it home until after 7 pm.
