Geez, is it just because Vitale never shuts up or am I just so tired of the Pitino shadow. Seems like he referenced Pitino's this and Pitino's that throughout the game. Honestly, I do not think we give them a better game with RP on the bench. The way they shot the ball nobody beats them.

RP is gone, please let's move on. We really do not have a choice. Padgett is doing a great job and he deserves some credit. Nobody beat VA at home tonight.

That old man needs to just quit 'working'. His voice screeches worse than listening to nails on a chalk board. His constant rants about any and every thing OTHER than what's happening on the floor is just nauseating. I cannot stand hearing him open his pie hole. His TPI is off the charts high. For those curious, TPI is 'throat punch-ability index'.
 
I get annoyed at the repeated stories, but I watch a lot of college basketball. I like Vitale's passion, even if he's a little over the top. My skin does crawl at the term "diaper dandies" however.
 
Dick Vitale is a lot like Howard Cosell was. Both can get on your nerves at times. But you will miss Dick Vitale, when he is gone, just like people miss Howard Cosell. Also do you remember Dizzy Dean? He was just like them and was missed when he was gone.

Sorry, not me. All I need is the announcer, not the yacker interfering with the live game.

They all do it. I watch a lot of college games and announcers are talking about other things than the game they are calling. Vitale is always going to sing praises for everyone. That's what he does.

The majority of the reason that he references Pitino is a low key way to back into (& pat himself on the back) the story of how he Dickie V "discovered" McMahon.

Po-tential... with a capital P. I tell you, he can flat out shoot the “rock” You kidding me, baby..
I love how every shot that goes in is a "good shot" or a "good move" no matter whether it was from half court or the guy went 1 on 5. Shots that don't go in? They're all "bad", "rushed", "not in the offense", and the move was "selfish" because the guy "should have reversed the ball" or, "made the extra pass".

There is no one as trite and repetitive as Vitale. He's not Cosell - Cosell was annoying but had something to say. Vitale is Musberger.

on steroids... this will sound bad but how many college girls has he groped when he goes into those cheering sections??

I think you are referring to Joe Dean, Mr. string music down in Nashville Tennessee. Dizzy Dean was a baseball HOF.
 
No Dizzy Dean and Peewee Reese use to announce baseball games to gather.
You are so right. The two were announcing a game and Dizzy was watching a couple in stands and he said to PeeWee, "PeeWee, he kisses her on the strikes and she kisses him on the balls". There was not another sound for about 10 seconds.
