Anyone who doesn’t like Vitale is probably not much of a college basketball fan. He’s legendary. And he only covers big games. It’s a sign, folks.


Just cause he's legendary and covers the big games doesn't mean that I can't find his announcing style annoying as frick.

He knows a ton about basketball. It’s the North Jersey accent! he is so right about the refs.

He kept talking about how great the crowd was and how it was a great college game. He also kept mentioning how good Smart and Mays were (and how talented Naz is even though he had a bad game). He also said Williams needs more time because things happen when he is in the game. I don't know what more you want.

It's the same as day games on CBS. CBS wants the best matchups.

I still don't like Vitale and his schtick.

He's the basketball Lee Corso except Corso is not all there anymore. Yeah, I know, Corso does studio and V does color, but V could do either. Corso is being propped up by Herb and the crew.

It was great seeing him back in the PMAC talking about Shaq, Pistol and Pettit and the Arizona game he did.

I love when he calls our games. Today brought back memories from the LSU-Arizona game in the early 90s with Shaq.

There's something about him I love. Idk, maybe it's because he reminds me of an old school yat. You can tell he loves the game.

I don't mind his calling at all.

How he sounds? You mean the man, who had surgery to remove ulcers on his vocal chords, has a voice that doesn’t appease you? Thats kind of shallow and unsympathetic of you.

He doesn’t cover mediocre teams and games. Part of success. Deal with it.




And cops deal with criminals, because it's the job.

Do they have to like the people they arrest? I don't hate Vitale, but he is very annoying. The success of the team is beside the point. How about ESPN hiring someone who isn't annoying? Unfortunately, they don't know how to do any such thing.

Because most basketball fans don’t find him annoying.
