Dick Vitale Is Very Diligent About His Halftime Research
Got an image you'd like to see in here first thing in the morning? Send it to [email protected]. Subject: Morning crap.

Dickie V: Impartial To The Very End
I have absolutely no doubt that, had he been on hand at the Little Big Horn in 1876, Dick Vitale would have been jumping wildly and screaming superlatives in support of Crazy Horse.

Duke Shows Off For Lover Vitale
We could go into a ton of detail about the Duke-North Carolina game last night, how Duke is probably the best team in the country right now just a year after a first-round tournament upset, or about how Coach K is able to adjust and elude irrelevance in a way Bob Knight wasn't able to late in his ca...
