- I'll agree with you. I watched the Kentucky game last night, not expecting
- Dicky V to be doing the game( I figured he'd do the Michigan-Ohio St. game),
- as well as all the UK games he has done. I feel brings much more to the game.
- Not just his regular antics, but his great knowledge of the game and its
- players and coaches. He starts talking about coaches I've never heard before!
- I think he's best doing Big Ten, the conference he covers the most. Although
- I'm a UK fan, I believe the Big Ten games are the most exciting on ESPN.
