What a turn this is.
I have spared no barbs toward Dick Vitale through the decades, bemoaning his hyperbole, his lack of focus, and his self indulgent rants having nothing to do with the particular game he might be calling.
But now I have come to thank him for the good deed he's done for U of L hoops.
For the presence in red & black of Ryan McMahon, who but for the tip to The Rick from The Mouth That Roared would never have become a Cardinal.
Do not misunderstand. I have perspective on the Floridian redshirt freshman.
