First Four For Charity Under Way

Posted on by

Wow… a 16-point lead with 4:52 left?  Easy.  Not so.  15-18 Western Kentucky just outscored Mississippi Valley St. 22-5 at the end to advance to lose to Kentucky.  WKY has now won 7 straight after being 9-18.  Two more wins and they’ll reach .500.

We got 26 (we had 30 last year) in the 2nd HWCI NCAA First Four for Charity meaning I happily get to donate $52 to Relay for Life Alhambra (American Cancer Society).  And that number could grow as others have pledged money.  Thanks, everyone!  Here are the picks I got (and hopefully translated it correctly) — BTW, 12 picked WKY (BTW2, David A, who was the only person to pick all 4 games correctly last year, missed this one!): Continue reading »

A nice pace so far

We tied a record with 2 entries on Sunday and set a record with 20 entries on Monday — for a total of 22 entries which is 7 ahead of last year’s pace to a record 125 entries.  The not so good news is that only 2 new people have entered so we need more fresh blood (preferably those who pick Beach (LB State) to win it all).  I am not sure why people feel really good about submitting their entry this early, but you all obviously know something I don’t (which ain’t very hard).

Don’t forget to quickly send an email or post a comment on this blog or a comment on Facebook for your First Four for Charity picks (free!).  Have family members submit a free entry.  Deadline is 3:30 pm today!  And don’t forget to watch the games on TruTV.
