Dear Digger and Dickie: Calm Down!

Wasn't going to post again before bed, but I'm watching ESPN and oh my goodness, do Digger Phelps and Dick Vitale hate each other? Digger is turning lobster red, Hubert is glistening from the spittle flying from either direction... this is getting pretty worrying, man.

Hey, old guys, settle down! Somebody's going to have a heart attack if this keeps up!

I can't really tell what this fight is about. Umm, is Pittsburgh playing well right now? Is Villanova better than East Tennessee State, Oklahoma State, and Xavier? Hold on, they're back.

Apparently, Digger has made something of a habit of this.

Dickie has veins popping out by his eyes. Okay, I give up. Seriously, guys, you need to last through this tournament. Doug Gottlieb is too busy on ESPNews to come sub for you!

By the way, congratulations to Missouri and Villanova for pulling off the minor upsets tonight. 'Nova walked all over Duke, and Mizzou pulled out to a comfy lead before realizing that they didn't know what to do with it. For the second game in a row, they slowed down and let their opponent (last game, Marquette) pull back into the game before sealing it in the closing minutes.

Between that worrying habit and some pretty average FT shooting, I'm nervous for this UConn game. Missouri and Connecticut have never played before! Thanks, SportsCenter guys. Nice to get some useful information instead of geriatrics howling at each other.
