generic excitement is fine if you are the play by play guy but as the commenter guy you need to say something that's not just yelling catch phrases you coined in 1989. 

Yeah, he used to be a lot better about this.

If there was a gif of nicname thwarting the attempted-flag-taker and then gesturing him to suck it, followed by motioning for all of Hilton Shelter to boo him louder, it'd be better than that auburn gif.

I love Bobby Knight

I do too, but I wish he'd give up the shot-fake talking pt almost every basket made or missed.

I zone out to what Dick says because it's just generic excitement, which is fine if you are a dumbass.  Bobby Knight drops knowledge on occasion.  

quit mucking up this thread with Knight stuff. This is a pure vitale love thread.

People hate him because they are stupid. He loves everyone.

you can hate people that love you. i don't really hate him i guess. just kind of boring to me. he takes like five thousand words to make a hundred word point. kind of like stanbot but with lots of inflection. roboinflectionvitalebot.

I'm not saying his love for everyone should mean people don't hate him. I was just observing that his haters are stupid. I also noted that he loves everyone, which would be why people that hate him because he talks about Duke are stupid, but does not necessarily apply to people that hate him because of his voice or expressions.

It's just dumb to hate him. Hating Clark Kellogg, however, is completely reasonable.

speaking of people that take five thousand words to make a hundred word point   :lol:

I like his excitement, but he could throw in some new terminology once in a while.  I'd watch anything Gus was calling, even Dax giving a slide show presentation on how not to give up a layup to a backdoor cut.

Didn't read a lot of the comments.

I used to love Dickie V. when I was a Kentucky fan. I possibly still would if I were still all about the TuckyCats.

However, I am a KSU fan now. UK secondarily. Dickie is stuck in the past. He has trouble adapting. He can't accept that there are not year in year out favorites that are consistent. He wants to love on the traditional powers, which I can appreciate to an extent. Teams don't win off of that though. It seems that no matter the outcome of the game all that he wants to talk about is the team with the most history and fall back on this (in a loss) or attribute a win to history. That crap is for the birds.

The thing I will hate the most is the love fest that I will have to endure when he rough ridin' dies. I hope it is soon, when I am not married with kids and have other things to live for.

Gottlieb and guys like him, are the future. (I hope).

KU hates Vitale? Really, they hate everything. Most bitter, insecure no-class bunch ever. Not angry, though.

Quote from: Dick Vitale
It was surprising and Kansas State needed that performance. They have talent and they finally showed why they were #3 in the preseason. Pullen showed why he was preseason All-America with 38. Kansas won so easily the first time they met, so give Frank Martin's team a lot of credit but now they must be consistent

The nicest thing I have heard him say about us all year. It's a fair assessment. I wasn't sure he still knew how to give those. I still hate him though.

Vitale being willing to accept money and come to Manhattan to speak at Midnight Madness is one of my best college K-State hoops memories.

For that alone I'll aways have a spot for Vitale.
I was back stage with Brent Stover (did one of our games this year) at the midnight madness.

Gus is the best play-by-play guy out there(Sciambi is 2nd). I like Bilas as a color commentator(Fran is 2nd).
