'Stay In Your Lane' - It's That Time Of The Year When College Basketball's Bad Guy, The Boogeyman, Joe Lunardi Has Coaches Losing Their Mind
This man right here is the biggest bad guy in college basketball. He's the boogeyman.
He has grown men shaking in their boots. He simply owns every inch of real estate in brains for the next month. And the best part? He doesn't matter! He's a legit nothing in terms of influencing the NCAA Tournament. He could put every single ACC team in his bracketology tomorrow and it won't matter one bit! Yet here we are. You can't hear an ACC fan, coach, whatever mention Joe Lunardi's name without looking like they are ready for a brawl.
It's far from just the ACC. Lunardi takes no prisoners. He doesn't care who you are, he's ready for a war.
We're reaching Tate/Keegs level here and frankly, I'm not sure who is who in this scenario. I want to say Lunardi is Tate. Sorry man, at least you weren't told you kinda look like him before. But Lunardi is running laps around these guys and I love Forbes. I got a soft spot in my heart for Wake Forest. He basically hit Lunardi with the shut up and spreadsheet.
Lunardi needs to lean into this all now. Show up on Draft night. Show up at Peach Jam. Start following these guys who call you out. What else you got to do? Summer bracketology and maybe show up to St. Joe's for class or whatever? Pretty sure you can expense all those trips. Remind them you're not even the best bracketologist in the game, just the biggest.
Say hello to the bad guy.
