In reply to: he's tops in NCAA hoops and a great person 's message, "Don't badmouth Vitale" on 12:15:52 06/27/04 Sun

He does not recognize anyone outside the top 5 conferences. How can he be considered a great ambassador for college hoops when he completely ignores 75% of division 1? What about his outspoken support for some of the biggest cheaters and louts among d-1 coaches? How about him ranting on ESPN after our close loss to Kentucky a couple of years ago how UMASS should sign Ralph Willard(who was UNDER CONTRACT with HC)?

Vitale is a lightning rod announcer...he says wacky things and acts like a nut, which intrigues and angers many more millions into watching hime. It is sort of like the Howard Stern effect, tons of people watch him/listen to him b/c they can't stand him but can't wait to see what he will say or do next.

Unfortunately Dick Vitale does not come close to Stern in entertainment value....Vitale is pure, unadulterated annoyance...just like the brick/stone of concentrated evil at the end of Time Bandits...to touch it is to die, just like listening to Vitale commentatary.

Cheers.
