More USF love from Dickie V.
Dick Vitale has been singing Mike Ford's praises since the start of the season and was on ESPN Radio's Mike & Mike on Monday morning, talking up USF football, calling Jim Leavitt "the best coach in America you haven't heard of," and the same for Bulls quarterback Matt Grothe.
His latest post on his page at ESPN.com is all about USF football, with the headline "Frenzy expected Friday at South Florida." Vitale is known for his love of college basketball, but he's really a fan of anything college, and football's no different. He said three weeks ago that he would get to a Bulls game this season, and he said Tuesday that he'll be at Raymond James on Friday night, along his wife, his grandkids and son-in-law Thomas Krug, a former quarterback at Notre Dame.
I'd even heard this week that Vitale might introduce the USF starting lineups as part of ESPN2's broadcast, but he said Tuesday he wasn't aware of any plans to do that. We're putting our money on Lee Roy Selmon right now ...
Times sportswriter Greg Auman, who covers USF, will post news and thoughts on the Bulletin and we invite your participation in the comments area.
Lee Roy Selmon...Good choice!
Another one could be Hulk Hogan!

How about letting that Number 1 fan introduce the lineups again..LOL..Just Kidding, he was brutal!
We don't need Dick Vitale introducing them either..funny how all of a sudden he jumps on the bandwagon. He is an overrated loudmouth!

And we're waiting for the UCF game to get picked up by ESPN so he can introduce his true favorite team...

Dickie V was on the band wagon as soon as Mike Ford was on the squad. Remember he is a Sarasota guy and watch Ford play in High School.

If Leavitt would quit recruiting no star players and then working them to death on the practice fields, Dickie V would have joined the bandwagon sooner...

Lauren Hutton! She should introduce the D!
