Oy--ing--vey.

You know what's even more ridiculous? Arguing several straw man points that don't remotely correlate to what my positions are.

I never said that Vitale isn't important; going back to one of your original posts, I'm disagreeing with your unsubstantiated opinion that college basketball wouldn't be "[COLOR=#000000]what it is today without him." [/COLOR]

I also don't understand why you feel the need to be condescending and engage in personal attacks. You were the one who posted a bunch of made up statistics to justify your subjective perspective. Others in this thread agree with me--feel free to go jump down their throats for having the audacity to disagree with your message board wisdom, which from your perspective is inherently more ostensibly factual than what the thousands of internet posters you reference in your post who happen to disagree with you dare to espouse.  Talk about elitist...

I don't begrudge that you like Vitale--I question your tastes, but to each their own. But I'm not alone in finding his presentation tiresome, and finding his value overstated. See: this thread. Vitale isn't even the face of college basketball on ESPN anymore--Bilas and co are.

His "importance" as an announcer is undisputed. His "importance" to the game itself is not an objective fact; it's a subjective opinion, just as what defines "importance" is being subjectively debated in this thread.

If you can't tolerate having your opinion questioned, avoid posting definitive absolutes in the future.
