Not my favorite announcer, but a great humanitarian. Considering all he has ever done to raise awareness for cancer research and donations, it really makes you question karma being a real thing. I hope he is able to beat this and continue to annoy every fanbase not named Duke, Florida, and Notre Dame for years to come
Dick Vitale announces cancer diagnosis
- Thread starter supergreennole
- Start date
Not my favorite announcer either but, that said, I really can’t imagine college basketball without him. Hope he beats this.
Lymphoma, I guess I missed that he had melanoma earlier this year. Hope he beats this too
Hate to hear that. I met Dickie V in Long Boat Key, FL when I was 17. Super nice guy, very genuine.
One of the nicest people in the industry. Hope he's able to beat it. Fvck cancer
I met him in Louisville once before a UK/UL game. He was with Rick Pitino at some hotel near Freedom Hall at and my boss and I were at a Brain Tracey seminar and went to the hotel for lunch. This would have been 96-97.
Seriously, fvck cancer. If there is an evil on earth, it is this damn disease. I was just thinking he had a run with cancer before this, too. Guy can't catch a break. And he's literally the last person on earth that this should be affecting.
I saw where he was in Boston. At first I thought he was going to call a game, turns out it's so he can get his voice back.
