stream of consciousness blandness from the Dick, plus fruit and berries

The Dick is at it again. let's get right to the action. as usual, dick's words in bold, my comments in good old fashioned plain text. these words are from the "Dickie V notebook". it's sort of like my blog, except he gets paid and I'm not an idiot.
In recent years, Villanova has had some tough luck with injuries. The latest bit of bad news came when Curtis Sumpter suffered a knee injury.

I think about the tough times California's Leon Powe went through in rehabbing to get back on the court. I hope Powe has a big year ahead as he comes back from multiple surgeries.

where did that come from? oh, i see. injuries to one player at villanova reminds you of injuries to a player from a program on the other side of the country, in a different conference. they are both forwards. and they play basketball. so that's something.
Any time you lose a player of that stature, it is a major blow. Some people bring up how well Villanova played without him in the one-point loss to eventual champion North Carolina. That was a one-game scenario vs. an entire season.
professional analysis from the Dick: injuries to major contributors can negatively affect your program. also: losing a player for one game is not the same as losing a player for an entire season. genius.
on the subject of Georgia Tech landing a highly touted recruit:
Hewitt has a magical way in the world of recruiting. He and his staff work diligently, and getting a player of his stature is a great victory for Georgia Tech.
magical? what does that even mean? and don't confuse the coach and his staff with those other programs that slack off in the recruiting department. it's not like college basketball is big business or anything.
it's a beautiful day here in southern CA. i'm off to sit in traffic.
