Heres why Vitale is a moron!!!

[U.P. HOGG]

Check out this link.  Vitale has us as one of the best 1st round matchups. Hmmm?  He likes the Illini quite a bit as a sleeper.  What a DORK!!  So we are not good enough to get in the tourney but we are in as a best 1st round matchup to watch.  (Of course he doesn't pick us to win.)

:razorback: GO HOGS, BEAT THE TROJANS!! :razorback:

[HogFan514]

You've got to be kidding me!!  Wow!

[HouTxRzbck]

It's like when he was referring Vandy as a sweet 16 team. Then on the flip side he was busy ripping Arkansas describing the teams we beat but never mentioned that we beat Vandy twice.  Hypocrate!!

[jamie72921]

Vitale gets paid to create excitement, not for his insight into the game.

The morons are the people that put any stock into whatever he has to say at any particular moment.

He has Vandy as a sleeper.  Check this link out.  He said that we should have beat the teams we did in the SEC Tourney, yet, he calls our win over Vandy an upset.  Check this out.

If the Razorbacks were to win on Friday here would be his segway.

Not only did he create excitement (if you call it that), he friggin ripped us apart and the rest of the national media followed suit.  I know every year that he goes off about who got snubbed and who should not have gotten in, but it seems to me that this year, he tore us apart like I've never seen before!!

So true!!  He would chalk it up to March Maddness and nothing else.  If we do come out on top over the trojans, I wish someone would through the dirt in his face!!

You can probably find an article somewhere that quotes Dickie V saying good things about every Division 1 team, and then another article where he talks bad about that same team (well, except Duke). 

He's doing what he's paid (& told, I'm sure) to do.  Create excitement, even if he doesn't make sense.

Did somebody order a pizza?!!!

Just his persona guys.  It is all an act and it sells.  Bottom line is that you could take a dozen teams that are playing in the NIT and place them in first round matchups across the bracket and all COULD win their first round game.  it is called paraity and we just happen to be on his "hype" list.  I certainly don't take it personally as I know what he is doing is selling tickets/ratings and such.  Hey, just embrace the madness and enjoy the ride. 

[HogHillbilly]

He won't go with the Hogs for this reason..............He hates the SEC

He knows it will be almost impossible for the Hogs to get past USC, Texass and maybe North Carolina in the sweet 16................You WILL NOT hear him say anything positive about the hogs

Even if we make it to the 16 game and lose...............He will say he told us that Arkansas wasn't worthy................DICKY V IS A IDIOT

[Tripod1]

BTW, Vitale I can take.  Packer and Nantz and their "all knowing" attitude is the ones I cannot stomach.

[U.P. HOGG]

I know its his job, I just want to rip his east coast bias a$$ as much as possible.  I'm just showing everyone here how much of an idiot this non-coaching fool is.

[booogaga]

the man has built a career on predicting bullcrap all of his life. so why is this any different?

Like his Drexel team?

+1 here.

Is there a bigger moron than Packer?

He really believes the nonsense he says.

Was Packer the one that was calling the Cuse' Hogs game in the tourney a while back, and after a foul on Syracuse he said "We got a bad call there"  Does anyone remember that?

[kgr]

Packer I believe coached at Wake Forrest so he wouldn't have an ACC bias. 

Vitale is a combination of Chuck and Rick with a national stage.  He has perennial favorites, Doooook along with his favorite team du jour. 

Those that can coach - coach.  Those who can't get jobs as talking heads.

Hogs by 2 over USC on a last second rebound and tip in by Hill.

[mword]

I thought he was a moron a long long time ago.

Illinois could make a run to the Elite Eight. 
I like VT, but the Illini can win that.  Ditto for SIU.  A not Illinois team could give KU a run.
