Yesterday, Dick Vitale briefly surged to the top of Google Trends. Why this happened is basically a mystery, but in his search for all things Vitale-related, the Sporting Blog's Chris Littman found this video of a recent Vitale speech at Mercer University. Vitale's talk is mostly about college hoops, including a pretty weird bit of recruiting opinion towards the end, but Chris highlighted Vitale's ancedote about meeting his wife. After watching the video, I can concur. There's good reason for this. (Fast-forward to the 15:45 mark.)

"Guys, don't even think about it. That is MINE." This is how Dick Vitale lives his life. And in regards to finding your wife, this is the sort of thing that always sounds much, much better after a 30-year marriage. Guys who bet their friends over women and bother them three or four times never seem cool or romantic at first encounter. They just seem creepy.
