Dick Vitale, the voice of college basketball for almost three decades, had vocal cord surgery Tuesday and is expected to be off the air until at least February.

The 68-year-old Vitale said on his Web site that he'll still give his take on college basketball through postings on ESPN.com and dickvitaleonline.com while he recuperates. He expects to return to the air in early February.

The surgery to treat ulcers on his left vocal cord was performed by Dr. Steven Zeitels at Massachusetts General Hospital in Boston.

I wish him the best of health and safe recovery. I cant listen to him long enough to give a damn about anything he has to say. A perfect excuse to use the mute button.

Perfect example of media bullshit. Vitale has NEVER been "THE voice of college basketball". Especially not since 19 fucking 77

He couldn't hold a candle to my dude Al McGuire. The man whom he stole his entire shpeel from
