This dude is senile. He bitches and complains about the integrity of the game while excusing all the other coaches and programs who’s been caught up in similar situations...

And the last thing he says is the way to fix it is let the shoe companies pay the players if they want. ARE YOU frickING KIDDING ME.

Did I understand right that Dickie V thinks that a phone conversation is being on the record but a text doesn’t count? Also, he said they are playing the tape everywhere and everyone has heard it. Has anyone actually heard it?

That interview was quite gold, but at the same time it was typical Dick talking over them.

I love how he acts like he matters so much. Like if Pitino or Self or Jim Harrick or Eddie Sutton owes him a truth.

Yeah I caught that. This wrinkled old has been is full of hypocrisy and inconsistency in his argument, and the only thing he knows to do is to filibuster and talk louder than everybody else.

He thinks his assistant is tweeting from this:

I've always loved him on broadcasts and on Television. I think he brings a uniqueness and passion that is really unmatched and I've always defended him. No more. His hypocrisy in this turned me off even from a distance. But, hearing him up close in a local radio interview come on and just act like a loudmouth, blow hard, holier than thou, condescending a-hole really disgusted me .I'm done with this guy. He embarrassed himself to no end this morning and he actually left the interview thinking that he was the smart guy and that Jordy and T-Bob were the local trash.

They already are -- by all schools. Not sure why this walking dinosaur is clutching his pearls over only LSU and the integrity of the game he loves.

Cheating involves doing something to gain an unfair advantage. Is it really "cheating" if every major program is doing it but lying about it. That should piss Vitale off more if he actually cared about the integrity of the game an all...

The entire world agrees with him and disagrees with LSU fans.

Are we the only people who are right? No. WW is caught, and he’ll never be not caught. Nobody has anything against paying players, but when you’re caught breaking the rules, you’re a liability.

They past couple weeks definitely changed how I view Dicky V but that interview shattered him IMO. He has completely lost even the illusion of objectivity. What a fu€king total a-hole.

So it's ok to break the rules as long as you aren't caught?

Effectively, yes. That’s why Waters’ last bucket counted. Everybody knows this.

Nobody is morally outraged at giving players money just like nobody’s morally outraged at driving 10 over the limit, but if you’re caught, you’re subject to a penalty no matter how many other people get away with it.

To be fair, the only way I’m able to say this is because I’m an adult.

If this were true, he wouldn’t be in multiple halls of fame and so revered.

This is all coming from LSU bias, and I understand it—fan bases operate that way. But take off the p&g’s and you’ll see exactly why there’s an acute focus on LSU. It’s obvious, and nobody’s out to get LSU.

You STILL don't get it. The entire interview was planned to be focused on Dick's hypocrisy of not giving the same hardcore criticism to the other schools involved that he's giving LSU. Jordy and T-Bob didn't once try to claim that Wade didn't break the rules. They were trying to get Dickie 2 Face to explain his hypocrisy and he didn't nothing but deflect, insult and shift the conversation away from having to answer even one of the questions.

Look the evidence against Wade is a problem. The thing you aren’t getting is that it isn’t the actual evidence or what Wade did that has LSU fans fired up. It’s the fact that LSU and Wade are the only ones being mentioned by Dickie V. I really think Dick is pissed at Wade for getting caught. He sounded like he is of the cheat all you want just don’t get caught or we will burn you.

So you don’t think the text messages about a payment plan for Zion qualifies as being caught? Did he sit out and get questioned like Smart did?

It’s because LSU and Wade are unique in this situation, and it’s obvious why this is the case.

Not the same.

Nothing is the same as the LSU situation.
