Dick Vitale article on UConn and KO

[Kitaman]

I doubt it was just to meet a quota. Dickie NEVER does any research. This is his typical output, who he is.

Yeah but I would believe he knows dook's starting five each of the last 15 years and 80% of their bench players by name. Not sure if that qualifies as research but its no less impressive.

Verbatim from my last performance evaluation at work.

Did they consider that a good or bad thing?

Well, it was accompanied by a performance mark of progressing, so I guess good.

Nothing of value to a UConn fan, but I could've done without this near-closing line:

"Connecticut also catches a break in the American Athletic Conference as Louisville has departed to the ACC."

WTF? I know they've had our number of late, but does anyone feel that way? By that logic, I guess we should've caught an even bigger break and scheduled all cupcakes OOC.

Dickie V has always respected Calhoun and UCONN. Has always said positive things (except for the Rod Sellers incident).
The article on Ollie is great yet so many of you want to rip him.
Is he annoying ? Yes. Is he a Duke lover? Yes.
But he has respected our program since the 90's !

I'm skeptical to click this link

Dookie V is obnoxious on TV and I mute him every chance that arises.

But down here in the Sarasota FL area where he lives he is very generous with his time, fame and money to help many good causes and is respected for his efforts.

Vitale went to bat for us on Gameday against Louisville when he called Gampel a must see place for the college basketball lover and then went on to say that UConn should play all their games at Gampel (something I'm a huge proponent of as well.) I think he has great respect for us, but the article didn't do us much justice. We are the college basketball capital of the world right now, we aren't just a team thats pretty good in the sport. We're one of the greatest programs to ever play the game. I wish he clarified that a little more.

I don't hate Vitale, but his shtick got old even before he did.

 

[Hans Sprungfeld]

Dick Vitale is an American hero.

You're all haters and probably touch your pets inappropriately.

. . . anything wrong with that?

Channeling W. C. Fields?

From You Can't Cheat an Honest Man:

Mr. Archibald Bel-Goodie:You absent yourself from this house immediately! You pharisee...you pecksniff...you egregious tartuffle!
Whipsnade: Tartuffle? Is that good or bad?
Mr. Archibald Bel-Goodie:You're a fraud, a charlatan and a rogue, sir!
Whipsnade: Oh, is that in my favor?

Well. He clicked on the "post reply" button twice, in any case.

Nice little article. He doesn't really say anything new, it's the same story with the same points that countless writers have written before, but any publicity is good publicity.

Connecticut also catches a break in the American Athletic Conference as Louisville has departed to the ACC.

This made no sense though. Louisville leaving the AAC is not a "break" for UConn.

Speaking of Dick Vitale, does anyone else remember that weird "Hoops Malone" commercial from about 15 years ago?
