U Pick:

64 Lott:
PGriff
- 2nd time in a row!
Auction:
ShawnR - 2nd time in a row!
16 Lotto:
ChrisG (1st time winner!)
Supergrid:

Other notables: deep pockets award goes to Khris. also note, the aution set a regard this year and has cemented it's status as "fun" according to Eshawn.  In addition only 4 players turned a bean "profit" (for what that is work) -  -Thank you all and stay tuned for your bills!



4.7.2025

Eshawn has got the U-Pick win if it's Houston and Dave wins with Florida  - more today, stay tuned!

Thursday midday
The day after auction day. Running late on updates, but the 16 lotto and auctions owners have been updated and will build out the line updates tonight.  For the record .. Alabama by 4.5 over BYU.  Florida over Maryland by 6.5. Duke over arz by 9.5. Texas Tech over Arkansas by 5.5.  Mich st by 3.5 over Ole Miss. Tennover Kentucky by 4.5.  If what I just typed differs from what I put in the smackboard, the smackboard vaules are correct.  (in other words, if the lines moved since I looked at lunch--the lunch values win.  More in a bit.

..Game day! - Good Luck!
Just a quick note, that it's not to late to get a bracket in, the site closes at the tip of the first game today. Also, with the assistance of the accounting  firm of Sandrick Associates - the Lott was drown last night.  Look for updates this afternoon, - sadly, the commish has to work this morning.  More in a bit!

3.16.2025
Day of.. Quick notes
Greetings all!  Here are some quick notes posted ~3 hours prior to bracket announcments...  This year I will be looking for a new site to manage our 64 u pick brackets. That search starts tonight (I have a handful I want to test) Therefore the Entry Form/link may be delayed.  Historically, we used Turbo Tuourney but the dude retired and took his code with him. Last year we experiemented with Run Your Pool - but it became costly (AND it led to some confusion regarding the tie breaker) Speaking of costs, my web host increased their prices. Therefore the 64 lotto reqests fee will increase by 1 bean this year. (honestly, the days of alligning the entree fees to physical cash equivilants is long over.. you all get your "bills" aggregated. Good news, I will add 25 BEANS to the payout!   That's it for now..  crossing my fingers on selection sunday - Commish out.

2025 Lotto Reservation Thread
