Love or loathe Dick Vitale, you have to hope for a full recovery from surgery on his vocal chords. Vitale had the surgery to deal with ulcers on the left vocal chord. He will be unable to call games until at least February.
"The past six weeks have been very emotional (for) me and for my family as we've visited some of the most outstanding throat specialists," Vitale said in a letter posted on ESPN.com. "Visiting college campuses and interacting with the fans has kept me so young and energized. I can't wait to get back out there, having a blast with all of you, who are so vital to our game."
