Have had chance to broadcast many games at Assembly Hall at Illinois. 1 of my favorites. Very passionate, classy and underrated fan base.

@MUBigGreen To borrow from Adam Sandler in Wedding Singer, is John S. sitting with "the nimrods at Table 19." LOL.

@MitchVingle Hey Rutgers did win a bowl game....pretty big also.

[Frank Giardina @flgiardina]

@MitchVingle Looks like lots of empty seats there tonight.

Jerry Tarkanian quote, "to have a great team you need 8 great players and four guys who cheer really loudly."

UMich has arguably best fight song in country w Hail to the Victors. Now students want a second song, a rap fight song? Knuckleheads.

CollBkball loses Tark. Who remembers where he coached before UNLV and who was his superstar player there. Underrated name from past.

[Frank Giardina @flgiardina]

@MitchVingle No Bobby's tonight.

Was asked about my men's CBKBLL coaching Mt.. Rushmore. I replied John Wooden, Adolph Rupp, Coach K and Dean Smith.

[Frank Giardina @flgiardina]

Dean Smith brought pride back to US hoops in 1976 when he won Gold Medal in Montreal. We felt we were robbed in 1972 in Munich.

[Frank Giardina @flgiardina]

When I think of Dean Smith, I think of the little, rec league type, flip scoreboard in the corner of Carmichael Auditorium.

[Frank Giardina @flgiardina]

Interviewed Dean Smith for Sports Spectrum at Final Four, AIA breakfast, maybe 7-8 years ago. Could tell sadly, he was not quite himself.

[Frank Giardina @flgiardina]

So many of our favorite CBKball players were coached by Dean Smith. One of my all time favorites was forward Bobby Jones.

[Frank Giardina @flgiardina]

Just now hearing about the passing of UNC basketball coaching legend Dean Smith. He would be on most Mt. Rushmore's for CBKBLL coaches.

[Frank Giardina @flgiardina]

Most intriguing college basketball game of the day to me is Notre Dame at Duke in Cameron.

[Frank Giardina @flgiardina]

Pretty good buzz in Durham,NC tonight. The Admiral was on Duke campus today and Duke hosts Notre Dame Sat. afternoon. Should be great game.

[Frank Giardina @flgiardina]

Excellent A-10 game on ESPN right now, Dayton at G.W. Mercer County, WV resident Mike Eades is one of the officials.

[Frank Giardina @flgiardina]

Gonzaga at Santa Clara. If Dennis Awtrey shows up, Zags could be in trouble. How many on here really know college hoops and remember Awtrey

[Frank Giardina @flgiardina]

Rece Davis to replace Chris Fowler w CollGameday. Fowler was to Gameday what Jim Mckay was to Olympics. He is great ambassador for CFBall.
