A Dose of Dicky V, Baby!
by Adam Reich
As another season of college basketball approaches we must begin to prepare ourselves for the annoying banter of our favorite college hoops wacko. That’s right, I’m talking about Dicky V, baby. The bald, one-eyed PTP’er is dusting off his microphone as we speak, getting ready for more outrageous outbursts, crazy nicknames and another season of college basketball.
But before Dicky V has a chance to run his mouth, I will attempt to cast myself in his image and bring you the preseason all-Dicky V teams, baby.
