Couple questions (Duke and Vanderbilt).
Jemshaid N Cheema
I have two questions for everyone out there. First, can anyone give me
any information about an old Duke player named Brent Kitching. Late 60s
or early 70s, I think.
Second, can anyone give me some information about Ed DiSpaltro at
Vanderbilt?
And a couple final thoughts: 1) the black Duke uniforms are hideous. 2)
Scott Pollard's sideburns are even worse. 3) I will be forced to break my
TV if I hear another announcer tell me about how Pollard's car is named
"Marvin" after Marvin the Martian. What's next, Tim Thomas call's his
penis Timmy's jimmy? You'd think that if you are calling the number one
team in the nation, you'd find more intersting things to talk about.

I think the announcers, especially Dick Vitale, do these guys
something of a disservice by hyping it like they do. I think
Haase and Vaughn are absolutely great kids and in the world
of college hoops quite extra-ordinary, but the hype irritates
people. But it is great to see such great people playing the
game well. Kansas fans should be proud (just like I was
proud of the way Hurley grew up - not as spectacular but still
a nice thing to see).

What an obscure question! May I ask why you're interested in him?

I couldn't agree more with your statements. Pollard's sideburns are
S-T-U-P-I-D looking. Did he lose his mirror or something? Who cares what
he named his car! I'm also sick of hearing Vitale going on and on about
Haase and Vaughn being 4.0 students. Or better yet, this morning on
Sportscenter, they referred to Vaughn as a "genius" because he has a high
GPA and has written more than 50 poems. Boy, the "genius" category is
getting much broader. I do give Haase and Vaughn a lot of credit for
excelling on an off the court, but do the announcers have to bring it up
25 times a game? Talk about the other Kansas players for awhile.

It's partly a function of KU being on ESPN twice in three nights (with
two different announcing teams) that makes it seem like you're getting
beat over the head with those factoids. At least they don't talk about
Naismith being the only KU coach with a losing record anymore--it used to
be a staple of all televised KU games. With Vaughn and Haase, it serves
the announcers' best interests to talk about their academic success.
Guys like Vitale, Conley, etc. want college hoops to succeed, and it
makes the game look better if the players are serious students rather
than slackjawed idiots who are only in school to work on their turnaround
jumper.
And yes, Pollard looks like he's auditioning to be Live's lead singer,
but it gives we at home something to pay attention to (and snicker at,
if the shoe fits) when KU's winning by 61, like last night.

Yeah, a pretty bizarre request. (This is going to sound pretty bizarre.)
I had Brent Kitching for my 10th grade English class in high school
(Millburn, New Jersey). And that was early 90s, when Duke was beating
UNLV and all that stuff. So we'd come into English class, and there he
would be all six and a half feet, saying, "Did anyone see the archival
footage before the game last night? Number 13, well, that was me." And
on and on about going to Duke and playing basketball.
Pretty cool class, actually, about 50% basketball, 50% Edgar Allan Poe.
I was just curious to see what kind of player he was.

Duke basketball, eh? I could believe those proportions
if we were talking UNC.
