Does this guy have something against us this year? Maybe something I missed?

He is the only ESPN analyst that doesn't have OU in his top 25.

Also, he is the only ESPN analyst who doesn't have Blake Griffin as a 1st team All American. He doesn't even have him on the second team. :eek:

WTF Dick?

I'm blaming it on Sampson.

Just saw this on ESPN. What crap.

First Team
Chase Budinger, F, Arizona
Darren Collison, G, UCLA
Stephen Curry, G, Davidson
Luke Harangody, F, Notre Dame
Tyler Hansbrough, F, North Carolina*

Second Team
A.J. Abrams, G, Texas
Damion James, G-F, Texas
Ty Lawson, G, North Carolina
Tyler Smith, F, Tennessee
Hasheem Thabeet, C, Connecticut

he has Budinger instead, who made it on all of 1 other guys list, 1st or second team.

Yes, I am sure Texas would rather have James than Blake Griffin?

Bwahahahahahahaa!

I put Digger right behind him

I put Digger right behind himIf I had to choose between Digger and Dick,I choose Dick.Dick can get on my nerves but has had good things to say sbout OU on several ocassions,Digger however in my memory has never done anything but bash OU.On top of that Dick loves the game and IMHO just gets a little overboard with his enthusiasm,Digger is just a bitter old has- been.

We aren't Duke, Carolina, Duke, Connecticut, Duke, Indiana, UCLA, Duke or Kansas.

Vitale's opinion of OU?

Meh.

I bet you guys can't wait for Vitale's strokefest for Curry come Tuesday night! Maybe if we beat Davidson we can crack his top 25...

If Stephen Curry played for Duke, Dick Vitale would need to wear Depends to avoid pissing all over everybody around him every time he took the floor.

Oooooh, smooth 3 from Curry, from downtown baby. He's on fire, he's a PTP, All American, I love this game.

If you are a school consistently good in football Dick is Dick.

I know sometimes Dickie V is a bit off in his projections, but this is journalistic irresponsibility. How do you leave a guy off, not just the First Team AA, but off both teams, who is considered, by some to be the best player in the land? What is more perplexing is that, if Dickie V is such a Dukie Homer, why he dissed Capel like this? It's not like we are some borderline team, we are picked to win a Big 6 Conference!

The problem for me is this... I love Dick. (Yeah, I said it... :D)

A college basketball game just feels like more of a game when he's announcing it. Dick Vitale, taking the bad with the good, IS college basketball to me. And he's such a genuinely good person by all accounts. He's just an annoying good person. (As opposed to an annoyingly good person, which is another animal entirely...)

I like him too. I hate it that he overlooks our Sooners, but all we can do is win.

He's always been a pimp of the ACC.

I agree that I like Vitale as an analyst, but some of the crap he does just pisses me off. I like Duke second to OU so maybe thats why I like Vitale but the guy loves his "basketball schools" and doesn't show alot of love for a "football school" even though we haven't posted a losing record in basketball since like 1982.
