There is no difference between Dickie V and nausea

[KosherHorn]

There is no way to enjoy this MSU/Indiana game with Dickie V bashing Kelvin Sampson every two minutes. Enough already! We know he cheated. We know he should be fired. We know you love how good Bobby Knight looks because of this. Please just let this game end so I can see UT highlights.

Yep. dickie V is grandstanding. We know Sampson is a POS, but he needs to let it go. And knock off the Bob Knight crap.

I've been giving Dickie V the benefit of the doubt for about 25 years because I know that it's not an act. But I'm running out of patience. Just call the game, dude.

i can't help it. i really enjoy hearing "oklahoma" and "cheat" in the same sentence on epsn for an entire day.

 

[EPThorn]

I dont get why so many people hate Dickie V. He is very knowledgable and genuinely loves the game.
Other than the fact that he fellatiates Coack K every chance he gets, i really enjoy his play by play.

This is normal for Vitale now. I still remember how he spent the last two minutes of the Wisconsin-Ohio State game last year, which was a top 5 matchup, talking exclusively about Nick Saban leaving the Dolphins. This was while Ohio State was bombing in 3s like madmen to almost come back for a miraculous win. He literally didn't even acknowledge the action on the court until the very last possession when Ohio State was shooting to tie it up and send the game to OT.

I remember that game, longhornmatt. Him and Shulman basically completely wrote off the game with something like 3 or 4 minutes left, to be caught with their pants down when tOSU closed it to within a last possession contest.

I loathe Vitale. I think what makes me loathe Vitale the most is that once upon a time he was really good, and now he's just a caricature. Plus, most of the other ESPN guys are terrific. I love Steve Lavin, Bill Raftery, Jay Bilas, and Doug Gottlieb when they're calling games as color commentators. The recent life without Dick Vitale was a sweet life for this basketball fan, indeed.

There was a website that tracked all the things Dickie V talked about that didnt involve the game he was calling. There was something like 60 non game related things he yelled about. He needs to retire

I think Lavin's all right. I think Musburger is poisoning him, though.

Actually, there is a huge difference between Dickie V and nausea. Nausea goes away.

I agree that Dick has gone the way of guys like Madden and such, but I don't agree on Sampson being abused enough.

The guy not only cheated. He freaking never stopped cheating and showed complete disregard for the NCAA.

When will the NCAA find a way to punish the coach and not just the school? OU goes on probation and Sampson got a great new job. Hell, Lay, Fastow, and Skilling weren't given this good a deal.
