Because it never get's old

[49r]

Dick Vitale jumped the shark 20 years ago.  Now he's unwatchable.  All he has done on broadcasts so far this year as far as I can tell is plug his latest book.

 

Also, as far as I can tell it's been many years since he's done a game from anywhere other than the Dean Smith Center, Cameron Indoor, Rupp Arena or Phog Allen field house.  Which, IMO, is too bad for the fans of UNC, Duke, UK and Kansas because they have to suffer through his inane crap for nearly every home game, but good for the rest of us because we get real, professional broadcasters doing our games.

 

Except for those poor bastards in Pac 12 country that have to suffer through listening to Bill Walton ramble on about whatever it is he rambles on about.

Dickie V is insufferable. I just want him to come to Lincoln to SHOW HIM that Nebrasketball knows what's what. Time to see new places, Vitale. It wouldn't kill ya!

 

As far as Bill Walton, he's funny in some small doses.

 

Both of 'em, I really avoid at all costs when I want good, solid information !!!

Basketball needs an announcer like Johnnie Miller was for golf: knowledgeable; to-the-point; and occasionally a little too candid.

 

Miller:  "Fat guys are clutch."

Lampley:  "Whoa, wait, how can you say that?"

Miller:  "Have you ever seen a fat guy miss a short putt?"

Speaking for fat guys all across the country, we miss loads of short putts.

Yup, I am in the camp that could give a care if Dick Vitale ever did another game in Lincoln.  His fame has charged way out in front of his current performance.  He should go away quietly or perhaps just quiet down.  He has a major love affair going with Duke and perhaps two or three other schools.

I want him here *because* it means Nebraska is in a Big-Time Game. It's rather simple.

I guess I would prefer to have Jay Bilas; he too is big time and so much more credible.

That works for me, too;  I just want NU to be relevant nationally!

Vitale has become a parody of himself.

 

That's not a good thing.

I get the vibe that Dick Vitale really only cares about the blueblood historical schools like those in the ACC and former Big East. It's likely the only way we'll get him at the PBA is via the Big Ten/ACC Challenge if we were a Top 15 team and we were matched up with UNC.

 

That was us during portions of the Danny Nee era!

 

Hence, the long wait.

Ok, 34 seems eon's ago. part of me wishes I was that young again, but now I'm only two years from retirement. and I don't think I could go through the next 26 years where i'm employed now.

 

Yeah, you are right. When you are retired, every day is Saturday.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

(I only drink on Saturday!)
