Congratulations to our 2015 Stomp the Lunatic Champion – Troy Cole.\u00a0 Troy was able to correctly forecast that Duke would beat Wisconsin in the championship, which led him to a 30 point victory!<\/p>\n
Congratulations also go out to our Upset Pool Champion – Will Shipley, who ran away with a 28 point victory thanks to great picks like Michigan State to the Final Four, and UCLA and Wichita State to the Sweet 16.<\/p>\n
Finally, we had a three-way tie for the Second Chance Pool.\u00a0 Troy Cole won a three way at 920 points with Brian Lawson and Jim Sell.\u00a0\u00a0 Troy’s tie-breaker of 136 was 4 points better than Brian and 6 points better than Jim to take the title.<\/p>\n
Troy has one more claim to fame this year.\u00a0\u00a0 In a strange, unprecedented event, Troy Cole is the only person this year to successfully Stomp the Lunatic.\u00a0\u00a0 We are all thankful to Troy – since I am pretty sure that the Lunatic actually winning the pool might be one of the signs of the apocalypse.<\/p>\n
Without further ado – here are the final winners!!!!!<\/p>\n
