Recruiting Forum Football Talk IV

[Devo182]

Devo, I love you. But the Duke/K bias is what is weighing heavily. Come on.

I can't discount human subconscious biases. No doubt anything is possible. But it's not like them and UK are 1s over historical non bludebloods like Baylor, Zaga, and Zona either...auburn and nova, etc all the same.

Fwiw I'd be 100% for algorithms deciding things. I hate committees and think they are, overall, stupid and too highly influenced by straight W/L records and not enough focused on margins and predictive measures.

I’d like to kick Lunardi in the nuts.

he probably squats to pee

 

[Ulysees E. McGill]

Bet $100, lose $110.

I don't get it..if you bet $100 and lose, why would you owe $110? I don't gamble, so I have no.idea what you are talking about. I thought the "vig" and "juice" were loan shark terms for interest owed on borrowed money.

 

[jakez4ut]

To be clear I don't care about duke or Wisconsin or anything.

Just auburn and Kentucky.we should be ahead of either or both. Why? 3-1.

 

[Mike4Vols]

Again, I think this means little. If anything, it gives Barnes some bulletin board material. Us against the world. If they take care of business and get the 2 seed matchup in the Sweet 16, it doesn’t matter who was the 2 or the 3.

If they don’t take care of business and make it to the Sweet 16 — well — it doesn’t matter anyway.

Us Against the World. Or **** the NCAA. Whichever rally cry you like.

 

[Z06VolinWV]

Lunardi just said that the conf tourney doesn’t matter.

As well as he basically had no quantified reason as to why we didn’t get a 2 seed

True

 

[Ulysees E. McGill]

Duke gets the #2 seed in Greenville

That is a load of

 

[Jimmy Football]

Lunardi just said that the conf tourney doesn’t matter.

Hmm. It seemed to matter when he was touting UK as a potential one seed…

 

[Rishvol]

Like I said we have the wrong colored jersey. It's literally the only explanation

 

[jakez4ut]

Lunardi just said that the conf tourney doesn’t matter.

Unless UK had won then they could move up.

Idk what they're talking about. If you bet $100 and lose, you lose $100.

Depending on the odds, if you wanna win $100, the amount you bet varies. -110 odds means you bet $110 for a chance to win $100. If you lose, you lose $110. -200 means bet $200 in order to win $100. Lose and lose $200. . .

ESPN going to bat for Tn

"ESPN and Media hates us again..."

- someone, prolly

I know which one I’m picking we’ll have to beat the team, refs and the committee

 

[GoBigOrange86]

It doesn’t matter. We are national title contenders.

 

[Jimmy Football]

Auburn was top 2-seed.

Which of Auburn’s numbers were better than ours?

 

[Enki_Amenra]

Unless UK had won then they could move up.

Exactly. . . all the talk of UK as a #1 if they win in the tourney, but, suddenly, winning in the tourney doesn't matter when it comes to the Vols.

 

[Ulysees E. McGill]

Auburn gets a CAKE walk to a the EE and get Kansas as their 1. Smfh

They are a one dimensional team that deserves nothing. I bet they get bounced...just because they are garbage.

 

[Pridedad]

Did you miss Schiano Sunday?

thanks for the friendly reminder.

 

[OGbabyaviVol]

Auburn was top 2-seed.

Now that’s laughable!

 

[Jimmy Football]

Thanksgiving early season tourneys? Very important.

March conference tourneys? Don’t matter.

 

[engineerVOL]

I’ve never listened to Joe Lunardi until today. That had been the right decision.

 

[VolNRaleighNC]

Lunardi just said that the conf tourney doesn’t matter.

Pretty obvious - ranked us # 10 today (mid 3) so they didn’t move us after this weekend.

That's the way it's been done for a long time. When I use to bet years ago with the local bookie that was how it was done. The 10% when you lose is the juice.
