Unless you live in a hole in the ground, you’ve heard the news: the boys are blazing hot. We’re on a 12-3 streak, sitting at 26-22 in the Big Dance heading into the Final Four.
But first, important news: the Gambler’s Anon has expanded its roster! Sort of. Big congratulations to member Mike on having sex his first child this week. The little man has come into the world guns blazing, already giving out his first pick. I’m sure the anticipation is destroying you, dear reader, from the inside out, so let’s pick winners:
- Pete: UNC +4.5/Nova +4.5
- Chase: Duke -4 (GOTM)
- Frye: UNC -2.5 (Big Daddy Alternate Play Alert)
- Bates: UNC Team Total U74.5
- Brad: Duke ML (GAME OF THE YEAR, MAX PLAY)
- Derek: UNC +4.5
- Tuna: Nova ML (Possible GOTY Alert)
- Sam: Duke/UNC U151; Nova/KU U133
- Rolly: Duke/UNC O151
- Parker: Duke -4
- Mike’s kid: UNC ML (Game of the birth alert)
And there we have it. Pretty split here, so there’s bound to be winners and losers. But this gives you a decent look at where the hottest panel of experts are at. The general consensus is at least that Kansas stinks, apparently.
Also wanted to give one more shout out to member Sam, who passed his BAR exam to be a lawyer and is getting married in the same week. He built up just enough positive success for us to forgive him for scheduling his wedding on the Duke/UNC matchup/day of the Final Four. Not mad at all. The boys will enjoy the action on the dance floor six thousand beers in, celebrating the momentous occasion.
Here’s to another Final Four, and personally, from me to you, GO DUKE.
