Awesome, Baby!

I love Dick Vitale. Yes, he's a one-trick pony. Yes, he's an unashamed apologist for the basketball coaching fraternity. Yes, he's loud, he's a charicature, he's more entertainer than serious analyst. But he loves basketball, and he loves what he gets to do for a living, and both of those things are plainly obvious every time he broadcasts a game, whether it's Duke/Carolina or Austin Peay/Middle Tennessee State.

Heard Dickie V last night for the first time in a few months as Wake Forest/Memphis kicked off the Coaches Vs. Cancer Classic in Madison Square Garden. College hoops season makes me happy, and so does hearing Dickie's voice.
