My Favorite Line From Dick Vitale

I never thought he was indifferent toward OU in that season.

I've been watching college basketball a long time. I can remember some of the old Raycom broadcasts with Jay Randolph and Gary Thompkins. Every broadcast was slanted to KU/MU/KSU in those day and the other 5 Big 8 schools were an afterthought. So, I appreciate the games that have the big dogs doing the broadcasting and some east coast folks will only watch big games. Dick Vitale doing the color on a broadcast is a big game.

He was very indifferent toward OU in 2008-09...

Maybe I have forgotten. I don't recall him working any of our games unless he did the NIT final game vs Purdue.

UNC was loaded with an all NBA team and the big kid from Missouri who Dick liked so much. I do recall he fawned all over them.

Tyler Hansborough. that UNC team was REALLY good. no one was going to beat and we played them the closest i think (and Crocker could not hit a 3)....the one good thing about that Elite Eight loss was anyone watching that game knew beyond a shadow of a doubt Blake was [insert your favorite dark metaphor/fantasy of dominance here] so much better than Hansborough....and listening to the ESPN machine might have created some doubt.

one of our first possessions, Blake beats him on the baseline with his first step and dunks.
