Dick Vitale's Weekly Awards [ESPN]

COACH OF THE WEEK: Norm Roberts, St. John's

He has been under pressure the last few years. Is this the year the Red Storm makes some noise in the Big East? St. John's got a pair of big victories on back-to-back nights, beating Siena and Temple.

Stormin' Norman.

Dickie is cheering for us Saturday.

Dickie V gave us some props.
Much appreciated, but the guy is a Duke fan,
and therefore pretty hard to listen to.

I hope he is not doing the Duke game on Saturday!!!!

Dickie V would never cheer for us against Duke, come on ..

Why not?  While Dickie is an open Duke supporter he ALWAYS tries to give props to St. John's and has in multiple columns over the past few years.  He's said the Big East really rocks when St. John's is good.  I think he will talk more about us as an analyst in that game than most other analysts would.

Why?  Yeah, he loves Duke, but he talks about St. John's as much as anyone in the country.  It seems like he genuinely wants us to be a big-time program again.

Even so, I can't stand him.

He just mentioned SJU being 5-0 during the Carolina-Mich St. game

Oh jeez!

Oh jeez!

Alot of people were loving Dick the last few years when he criticized St Johns. I wonder what they think now?

To be honest, I question how in touch with basketball Dukie V is - he sticks with his favorites for emotional reasons.  But it's some pub!

I agree here on all fronts.
