Lunardi just said after the game

[onevol74]

Didn’t Cal say we should be a 1 seed?

 

[Zues1]

Immediately after the win, ESPN and Joe Lunardi went full on assault of Tennessee's accomplishments. Lunardi is an all out turd. Basically said what Tennessee did wasn't impressive and means nothing for the big dance.

F him.
Pour me another Woodford please.

 

[TrippieRedd]

I’m still confused at why Michigan is even on the bubble. They are 17-14 with 2 ranked wins the whole season and a handful of bad losses. Texas A & M (23 wins) has 2 top 15 wins in the past 3 days

prob because the class they pulled last year. Top 3.

I can't think of any other reason.

 

[TheMookieMonster]

Lunardi sucks but can a mod merge all of these threads instead of clogging up Page #1? Please and thank you.

 

[ALStateLineVol]

Lunardi is on average about 52% correct on seeding teams. Not much better than a guess. He is simply trying to sell soap digging the vols

Kinda like throwing darts while drinking after spinning around a bat 10 times.

 

[peaygolf]

ESPN hates UT.

 

[BigOrangeFanatic]

His reasoning and comments were some of the dumbest crap I have ever heard from an analyst.

He's not an analyst. Hes a geek that has a computer.

 

[SouthKnoxVol70]

Clay Travis said it best , Lunardi is a bum

 

[Peyton Berry]

That is crap if 2 teams we beat head to head and records close would be ahead of us.

That’s what he said, word for word. Basically said our wins against them did not matter. It just doesn’t make sense.

 

[hillsborovol]

Lunardi squats when he pees

 

[BigOrangeFanatic]

I hope they give us a 3 and put Memphis in our region. Talk about being motivated.

 

[KoachKrab127]

If there was a jackass tournament, Lunardi would definitely be a 1 seed.

The jerk store called. They are running out of Lunardi.

 

[Cdywolfe]

The question shouldn’t be about whether Tennessee is a 2 seed. That should be a given. The debate should be regarding they’re a 1 IMO.

 

[ButchPlz]

Loonardi.

 

[VolsSince78]

Sounds like Lunardi is arrogant and a little dumb at the same time. Bad combo.
I wonder why he’s still around at ESPN.

 

[VAWL FAN]

Even argued we didn’t finish 2nd in the league, pointing out that technically we “tied for 2nd.”
That statement alone discounted his entire argument imo.

Yeah he was being a D.

 

[Peyton Berry]

If fact they broadcasters were saying Tennessee has a just as good if not better resume than Purdue and Duke. Lunardi might be a hater does this doesn’t need to be an anti ESPN diatribe.

I didn’t say anything about ESPN as a whole. Just the disrespect Lunardi is giving the Vols and the complete idiotic reasons he gave for not putting the Vols in 2 seed conversation

 

[SouthKnoxVol70]

By the looks of Lunardi after the game , he needs to lay off the cheeseburgers and eat a few more salads .

 

[VAWL FAN]

What’s his beef against us? Is there history?

A Vol fan probably tweeted something mean to him in the past and he's being the typical fragile nerd.

 

[golfballs]

there isn’t a single justification for anything lower than a 2 seed. Going into today we were 8th in the net, ranked 4th in resume, and 7th in quality. 2nd most Q1 wins and not a single loss outside of Q1A. Even the worst of any single metric on the sheet prior to today was Sagarin’s #8 ranking for us. Even if they wanted to put us at a 3, they wouldn’t be able to find a single metric of all the ones they supposedly consider to put us there. It’s nonsense

 

[Sudden Impact]

It is his Opinion, but, He should have known that this question would be asked?
His answer as we all know SUCKS and he should have responded with a justified answer.
Man must have a short man's complex.
He can't even give a proper response because there is no answer so he chose to use the weakest argument and only argument in his mind....LOL
He will probably only get 11 of the 16 correct in the 1-4 seeding .
Will miss on Duke, Auburn, Tennessee, Purdue, Wisconsin or Illinois

 

[EZE]

There should be no reasonable way that Vols should be seeded behind either of them or seeded lower than a 2.

Definitely not behind a team it beat 2 out of 3 times.

 

[Switch 625]

Going to get Doxxed by Vol Twitter

I am calling it

Vol Twitter is undefeated.

 

[rich4pres]

Right now I don't care. Seed us wherever. We can beat anybody.

The metric is, we aren’t UK or Duke. That’s it. That’s the metric.
