I know some of us are hard on him, and I rarely call him Dick, he's Dook Vitale to me.  But the latest news is worrisome.  His cancer treatments have affected his vocal chords.  Sideline commentary with one eye is admirable but obviously impossible without vocal chords.

This is not an eulogy, because I can't see anything short of death, stopping him from calling games.  I'm basically saying college basketball will be different this season, and somewhat 'quiet'.

I may not like his style but I will miss that pain in my arse this season.  McDonald's should rename their All Star game after DV, or at least include his name in title.  After all the players are 'Diaper Dandies'.

(I wonder if the young'uns really know who he is and what he meant to college basketball.)
