DickieV suffers setback on return
- Thread starter twwilliams9

Please retire already and take Lee Corso with you.
That is unfortunate. After all that he has been through, would be great to see him return.
Yeah, idk why n a few select fields (politicians and commentators), we keep sending out dudes in their late 70s or n 80s even. All well past their prime.
I am one of those old dudes! Most of us would rather go out acting young, than acting like we are ready for the grave. I still Golf. I still workout. I still snow ski on double black diamonds (expert runs)...Who wants to wait around, lay around, enjoy life hopefully you one day will get to your golden years
But are you still working your full time job? No one is saying don't travel or do active things.
Yes, Still Senior Pastor At our Church, Will be till the Lord Calls me home!
I get that watching guys age can be spooky and remind us of our own mortality, but I want them to keep going for as long as they want or can.
Corso has great rapport with Herbstreit and has been a mentor to him. Watching them interact has been a pleasure these past few years.
Dickie V, for all his ailments (including being a duke fan), has more passion for college basketball in one finger than a ton of fans have in their whole bodies. He certainly has more passion than a bunch of bs-ing talking heads that modern sports media conglomerates are so keen to manufacture.
Not everyone is content to sit on their asses when they get older. I for one hope I keep kicking and contributing long after I start pulling retirement, so I can't fault others for wanting to do the same. Just my 2¢.
In a room (state) full of religious folks, you'd think there'd be more empathy here. Blown away by the angry and hate when we're supposed to be disciples of God.
Add preacher to that list I mentioned. A lot of people do that into their 70s and 80s and til they die honestly.
Most jobs you aren't able to keep going at that age. No one will want me working n finance or accounting at 81 I can tell you that lol.
Depends. We have a guy in our church that still does it for people. Sharp as a tack.
I never understood why anyone would continue working when they could retire. Retirement is better than any job.
The guy gets a front row seat to watch some of the best college basketball games. Are we really trying to compare that with some of the jobs u all are referring to? The man is the most passionate college basketball fan ever known to man, chill out and let him do it till he passes away with the headset on if he wants. Geez. What’s it to yall?
He hasn't sounded particularly well the last several years but the man is Mr. College Basketball. I'm sure it makes him feel young and keeps him going to get in an arena and be apart of those loud atmospheres. He's also a legitimately great person. I'd never tell someone like that to go away. Heck, we need more people like him in sports.
Guarantee he fell. My dad is battling liver cancer and just will not stop trying to do the physical things he did even in his mid to late 70s. He’ll be 82 next week. It’s maddening.
