Consider the source. Vitale is a poor man's Al. Really stole Al's schtick and took it down market. Al was clever while Vitale is shrill. Al was witty while Vitale is trite. Al was insightful while Vitale is droll.

What do you expect?  MU loses two all-conference players in Crowder and DJO and Crowder is the Big East player of the year.  A few players have to step up their games and both centers had injury issues.  Who replaces the offense and the lesdership?  A lot of questions with this team.

I really don't see how you can make a case for Iowa State.  Almost all the rest you can at least make an argument for.
You actually have a degree from Marquette?

No...and after reading many many psosts from people on this board that do...I have to say I'm MUCH better off, if this is the type of "intelligence" a degree from MU gets you. It sure is on full display I will say that.

you're too kind..., vitale is a cheap imitation of Al without the heart.  You are right on that he took it down market.

Clever, witty, insightful is when it is all about the other person. Shrill, trite, droll is when it is all about oneself. Al cared about others. Vitale loves himself.

He can't play next year, unless the NCAA is now granting immediate eligibility if you can prove that your coach at the last school is a douche.

I may have heard that before....  Last year, and the year before that, and before that and.....

Do you really not see MU as a Top 40 team? I do easily, J Will, Otule, De' De', Blue, Mayo, doesn't sound to shabby to me.  I guess time will tell.

Maybe Dick already knows of the impending Hiroshima. Although, I agree. I think we are a top 40 team, but wouldn't hold it against anyone for not agreeing.

Does Vitale read this board? Wonder if he knows Chicos?

Isn't that Chicos in the upper right corner from when he and Dickie V met at Hooters for a beer?

Mr Dykes always stands out in a crowd. Is he wearing IU shorts?

This is SO dead on Warthog. I'll never forget when DePaul made the Final Four. Al was so excited for Ray he was coming unglued. True, unfettered joy for another's success. With Dickie V the vibe is rehearsed, volume substituting for real emotion.

Buzz is a modern day, Texas version of Al, TC an upper peninsula version of Vitale.

I want to hear DV call a Sun Belt game and NOT mention a top 40 team.

He sounds better calling Xs and Os, but that rarely happens.

What is this Hiroshima everyone is referring to?

Which one of these four has had the most plastic surgery?  Hint:  It is the one who looks like they've had the least.

I can't rip it that bad - ironically there were three exact matched to the Value Add top 30.  I dig pretty deep with the computations, and when I did my first run MU was 34th, and it wasn't until I did the more in depth run that they shot up to 11th.  in other words, I believe on the surface you are going to be quick to drop a team a good bit who lost one of the best duos in the country.

I did change the database to a little easier to remember:

www.valueaddbasketball.com

Creighton, Wisconsin and Gonzaga were exact matches to Dickie V

In addition to Marquette, Texas (top 10) and Providence (top 25) were the biggest snubs.

The three that I believe he has on reputation are Florida St., Cincinnati and UNC - UNC will at least be borderline top 25, but it really looks like Flo State and Cincy will have a big rebuilding year.
The www.valueaddsports.com analysis of basketball, football and baseball players are intended to neither be too hot or too cold - hundreds immerse themselves in studies of stats not of interest to broader fan bases (too hot), while others still insist on pure observation (too cold).

Why the hell would Hooters hire Dick Vitale as a spokesman?
