Well, the Lunatic has entered his picks – as he thoroughly is enjoying the game. So glad that VCU didn’t deserve to be in the tournament – now that they are stomping on USC. Although then again, I guess you could make your arguments about if USC was the right pick either. To be honest, I hate all the media work to try to criticize teams that they don’t believe belong in the tourney – and the teams they thought were snubbed. Do I believe teams likeColoradoor Virginia Tech should have made it – sure! But to be fair – you should not be blaming any of the Last 4 teams in. For some reason, 16 of the 37 at large bids went to two conferences – the Big East and Big 10. I understand that many believe these were the best two conferences this year, but there is a large part of me that just doesn’t believe you should be allowed to get into the tournament if you can’t even finish in the top half of your conference.But I digress.<\/p>\n
In the Lunatic’s Sane picks, he really took a lot of the chalk. I had to convince myself to change one of the Elite 8 games just so I didn’t put all 4 top seeds through. In the end, I haveKansasbeating Duke, withOhioStateandFloridajoining them in the Final 4.<\/p>\n
In the Lunatic’s insane picks, I had to back my Boilers to the Final 4. Then, reality sank in and I decided it probably was too gutsy of a choice to pick them to win. So, I took Duke to repeat as champions by beatingPittsburgh. Then, the Tar Heels from UNC joined Purdue as the other Final 4 teams.<\/p>\n
So, there you go! Now you know what you have to do – I apologize in advance to Jayhawk and Blue Devils fans, we know what effects exist from the Lunatic choosing you to win it all. By the way, last time I checked, we have over 232 entries – lets see if we break 300! Good luck to all in Stomping the Lunatic!!!!<\/p>\n
