Just saw that...worst announcer out there...I'd rather listen to Bill Walton...
Did they get you to trade a walk on part in the war, for a lead role in a cage...?

Fortunately I will be watching it at a sports bar without sound


Go Hogs!

Hope they have the 'Above the rim' broadcast option. Watched it last night and it was great. Sounds of the game without the analysts speaking.

Walton/Dick Vitale would make a hell of a team :)

RaisinHog

It want be bad since we Arnt playing a blue blood

SPAL

Are we sure he is doing both games?

If you have a DVR, just pause the TV around 25-28 seconds (play with it to line it up exactly) then listen to Chuck with the TV muted.  The only drawback is Zimmerman, but it beats Dickie V...

man that's saying something.

Walton was horrible. At least DV will talk college basketball. Albeit mostly about Duke. But Walton is subject to talking about architecture, foreign cultures and the finer eateries in the Bay Area. No thanks.

Vitale is not doing our game.

I bet if he were talking about cookies you'd change your tune quickly.

That's where you'd think you were if you had to listen to both. ;)

He will definitely slob all over Gafford though. Gafford is a diaper dandy and Vitale loves him some diaper dandies. That sounds really weird.

at least Dickey V is not a fake POS

Is he doing our game too? 😞 I have the current game on mute

I guess I'm one of the few that have always liked him.
He's entertaining.
I get irritated the way he slobbers all over Duke and NC - but I still like listening to him.

Why did Vitale never try coaching again after leaving the pros? 

As a college coach he was 79-29 in 4 years at Detroit reaching the Sweet 16 his final year. He then went to the Pistons compiling a 34-60 record. Detroit let him go just 12 games into his second season.  I would think some college would have taken a chance on him if he had wanted to coach.

30 years ago Vitale was entertaining.  Now he might as well be a 70's laugh track still running on endless repeat that doesn't sync with the live show anymore.

Anyway let's hope we are complaining about him tomorrow.  His voice can barely get through one game a day.  Karl Ravech, Sean Farnham, Laura Rutledge are today's crew for semi #2.

I thought about him this morning after watching Grayson allen's latest antics.  I wonder if dickie V will desecrate his character like did with Moses last year.  Probably not.

Ha ha...my friend and I just sat their and laughs th whole game when he was the announcer. It was just non-stop random stuff. His rant about Oregon solar power homes was cracking me up. It's so annoying but I'd STILL take him any day over Dickie.

If you're not from Duke, UNC or Kentucky, he has no clue about you.  He's the worst coach knob slobberer there is.

Dick just basically said "what a job Pearl has done under all that FBI pressure he had this season". Can't even make this stuff up.

Of course you don't, but check with Hoops, he's got warehouses filled with these and many, many other delicious flavors.

I'll take anyone over Zimmerman. He is unbearable.

Dickie V is a PTP'r.   Listening to him in 1 minute commercial is 58 seconds too much

I have to agree.  Zimmerman has his moments but they are few.  I usually can ignore things but his voice eats away my will to listen

I know he loves the hogs and I am sure he is a great person but man it's unbearable. The other team is always so good and we are always so bad and you can't enjoy anything because he is a pessimist and is constantly talking about what could go wrong I can't pinpoint it but it's terrible. It's simple impossible to listen too. Yesterday we got a 1 and 1 and Zimmerman went crazy saying they aren't going to give it to us as if that ever happens ever. And you could sense chucks frustration with him and chuck said "yes they are" with a tone of "would you calm down that's silly"

Chuck deserves a top shelf color guy. Thurman was great because he is great at everything.

That sounds curiously sexual. And, I'm not shy to admit I'm turned on by it.

The good news, IF the hogs win and face Kentucky, I doubt that kid hits 7 for 7 threes again.

I used to really enjoy listening to him. Back in the 90's when we were so hot especially. You could tell he really got a kick out of college ball, and he seemed to know every stat on just about every player. That game against Kentucky really did it for me though. He really trashed us and I wouldn't be surprised to hear they had to go to the E.R. After the game to get his nose out of Calipari's butt!

     Be not ashamed to say you loved them, though you may or may not have always. Take what they have taught you with their dying and keep it with your own.

     And in that time when men decide and feel safe to call the war insane, take one moment to embrace those gentle heroes you left behind.
