[Moderated by Matt Jones]

Slow news day leading up to the Eastern Kentucky game…..so we will focus on the fact that your man and mine Dicky V has the Cats at 15 in his preseason poll. He mentions Patrick Patterson as a key to the season and gives props to new coach Billy Clyde. 15 is about where I would put the Cats heading into the season as well. So go Dicky V, your attempt at career rehabilitation in the Bluegrass State has begun…..

KENTUCKY IS AWESOME BABY! WITH A CAPTITAL A!!!!
August 31st, 2007 at 1:27 pm
I will still boo him if I am in Rupp when he does a game. I guess he forgot that losing
Tubby was supposed to set up back ten years- I think he is one of the “experts” that said
that.
August 31st, 2007 at 1:29 pm
Rick Petino said that
August 31st, 2007 at 1:32 pm
Pitino said firing Tubby would put UK back 10 years.
August 31st, 2007 at 1:33 pm
It is “Richard Head to you! #2″
August 31st, 2007 at 1:54 pm
Fortunately, the CATS should be back on their feet by 2017.
August 31st, 2007 at 1:55 pm
Dickie V should still be booed, loudly, every time he’s in Lexington.
August 31st, 2007 at 1:58 pm
It’s too late for Dukie V to try and get back in our graces, after the way he badmouthed Ky basketball, totally unnecessarily I might add.
August 31st, 2007 at 1:59 pm
10 years ago, UK was about to start a season that took it to the national championship. I hope RP is right.
August 31st, 2007 at 2:09 pm
Head Vitale should never be allowed in Rupp again. He is one of the biggest crocks in broadcasting.
August 31st, 2007 at 2:17 pm
where”s 1-10?
August 31st, 2007 at 2:18 pm
SHUT UP sg!
August 31st, 2007 at 2:22 pm
Vitale says we are wacko fans and should be ashamed of what we did to such a great coach in Tubby. There’s not a chance in hell we’d be rated #15 preseason by Dicky V if Tubby’s still here. Therefore, Dicky V, we bettered ourselves by getting a new coach.
August 31st, 2007 at 2:24 pm
His opinion hasn’t been relevant in years. That said, where did Dickey V rate Duke?
August 31st, 2007 at 2:28 pm
15. Kentucky
19. Alabama
21. Florida
22. Arkansas
26. Mississippi State
“Hey, baby! I’ll just write the SEC schools at one time!”
August 31st, 2007 at 2:43 pm
16) Above KY, where else…
August 31st, 2007 at 2:51 pm
Yeah, Dickie V always lists the big-name programs somewhere and gives them props in some way. He kisses ass to all the big time schools including us. He was criticizing our opinions of Tubby and now he gives credit to BCG. WTF?? I like Dickie V’s enthusiasm, i really do, but have never been one to take into account his actual opinion. Jay Bilas holds alot more wieght IMO
August 31st, 2007 at 3:31 pm
If Rick sticks a quarter in Dookie’s ear his teeth will retract….
August 31st, 2007 at 3:40 pm
Who cares? Vitale can say Kentucky is the best program but his rants about Kentucky fans are what we are concerned about.
August 31st, 2007 at 3:46 pm
#14 suck vitale
August 31st, 2007 at 4:07 pm
No actual *reason* for putting Duke at #12… Actually he gives a reason for not ranking them at all, then says “never count the Dukies out.” Whatever.
August 31st, 2007 at 4:28 pm
Personally, I’d love to see Vitale get booed so raucously every time he’s near UK fans that he decides he doesn’t want to do our games anymore. I’d love it even more if he tried to pressure ESPN to avoid our games, and they told him to suck it. Not that I ever expect ESPN to send him packing, but I’d be interested to see the battle of wills between their allegience to Vitale and their interest in televising one of the most popular teams in the country.
Ideally, he would be told to suck it, and disappear from the face of the earth. Regardless of his previous rants about UK or the fans, I simply can’t stand him as an announcer and I’m embarrassed that he’s considered an “expert” on college basketball.

i dont like dick
August 31st, 2007 at 5:25 pm
#24, you need a beer
August 31st, 2007 at 5:29 pm
I won’t argue that point. But I don’t see what that has to do with dick.
August 31st, 2007 at 5:57 pm
#24 No you dont..
duke is NOT the 12th ranked team in the country.But they never are where they should be.They can suck one.
Where is Minn ranked DUKIE V?
August 31st, 2007 at 7:28 pm
why does Dicky V’s right eyebrow stick out more than the left.
August 31st, 2007 at 8:01 pm
Duke Vitale is beyond redemption in KY.
August 31st, 2007 at 8:03 pm
Vitale is a total hypocrite, he talks about being a “basketball junkie” but us REAL basketball junkies just wanted a change to get some life back in the program and he badmouths the fans for being unrealistic. We are exactly the type of fans that Dick claims to love.
August 31st, 2007 at 10:23 pm
D…oesn’t know what he’s talking about
I…Don’t understand how his brain processes all the BS he goes on about
C…ontradicts himself every time he opens his mouth
K…rap another year of Diaper Dandies uhh
V…ery tough to listen to an entire broadcast of his
I…s going to have a stroke during the next Duke/North Carolina game
T…ubby’s motivational speaker
A…ppears to be ignorant and is ignorant
L…oves to praise people including himself
E…very other analyst at ESPN hates him
August 31st, 2007 at 10:33 pm
Being stuck here in the heart of Tobacco Road, not even the Duke faithful can believe that they are 12th in the nation pre-season. Of course, the Tar Heels believe they have the title already being engraved for 2007-2008. Too funny. There is no program that has tricked off more talent more consistently than UNC, save Kansas. We all know that there is no link between those two programs in that regard don’t we?
August 31st, 2007 at 10:34 pm
Dukie V has dUKe ranked 12th without McBob??? Are you kidding me? They weren’t even top 25 with him in their lineup!
August 31st, 2007 at 10:42 pm
Indeed Zack….
September 1st, 2007 at 5:28 am
Hmm…my question is where would UK be ranked with Tubby and
why is Minn not in the top 40 if Tubby is so good?
Dicky V has lost this one…he put UK and it’s fans down so bad
during that transition that he’ll never be welcomed in Ky again!
Good luck to you Dicky V…
September 1st, 2007 at 8:18 am
Dick..who like to be entertained by big pocket KY fans when he is in Lexington,and fly on KY boosters jets is DONE in KY.He insulted every KY fan with his comments when Tubby left,made all of us sound like rednecks and idiots…….he will never be welcome in RUPP. ikeike befor
September 1st, 2007 at 10:36 am
That creep needs to be booed big time whenever he shows his ugly face at Rupp or anywhere in KY. I lost all respect for him, what little I had, with his comments. Boo and keep booing. I am a minister and what he said is both unforgetable and unforgiveable.
September 1st, 2007 at 7:41 pm
I just heard on the Missouri-Ill game that Zook is the best recruiter in the united States including Donovan. Duh? And they just lost to Missouri with all those great players that he kept any other school from getting.
September 1st, 2007 at 7:42 pm
This should be the end of the coach at Michigan after losing a home game to a Div 11 school.
