I Present To You ...... "The Dick Vitale Drinking Game"

Majority of people are familiar with "drinking games." One that comes to mind immediately is listening to the song "Roxanne," by the Police. Well, thanks to this website, http://truthaboutduke.com/ , there is a new drinking game that you can participate in!

Rules:
#1 - Head Dick
One (1) Head Dick must be selected for the group. The Head Dick should be knowledgeable of the Dick Vitale Universe, ie. Duke, Coach K, and all that is front-runner. The HD (or DH, if you prefer) shall be the final arbiter in all disputes and judgements, and shall be called simply Head Dick.
#2 - Coach K
A) Anytime Dick mentions Coach K or Mike Krzyzewski, the first person to yell "I coach for relationships!" gets a pass, but all others must drink (3) B) If Dick is calling a Duke game, and praises Coach K right after K has clearly dropped an F-bomb on a ref, the Head Dick must take a shot
#3 - Duke
A) Each mention = drink (1) B) "Cameron Crazies/Dukies": first mention = drink (1), second = drink (2), etc. C) "What's not to love about Duke" = drink (3) D) Shameless references to self as "Dukie Vitale" = Head Dick takes a shot
#4 - Carolina
A) First mention = drink (1), second = drink (2), etc. B) At every mention of "Jason Capel" the first to shout "Lottery Pick!" and do that hands-to-the-head thing he does gets their butt kicked, all else drink (1) C) When Dick mentions Doh crying after the Wake game last season, any Carolina fans participating must make a choice: 1) Cut off his mullet and drink (10) OR 2) Keep his mullet, drink a shot, then cry
#5 - Beautiful Wife
Each time Dick mentions his, or anyone's "beautiful wife" all female participants must drink (3)
#6 - Hair
Every time Dick spouts off about someone's hair, such as: "I'm so jealous of Billy Donovan's beautiful hairstyle," or "I'd do anything to have that head of hair (on Tom Izzo)" the baldest person in the room gets to hand out a shot
#7 - Dickisms
All must drink (1) for any Dickisms (Head Dick shall govern):
"Diaper Dandy" "Rolls-Roycer" "PTP'er" "Trifecta (Dick calls it Trifecter)" "3-S's" "Little Davey Odom" and so on.... #8 - My Buddy (or my friend/my guy)
Whenever Dick starts name dropping, ie. "My good friend Bob Knight," or "My buddy Brent Musburger," or "This morning I was talking to A-Rod again," drink (2)



If we played this drinking game while watching Dick Vitale call a Duke bball game at Cameron Indoor .... I think it's safe to say we would all be absolutely smashed by the first official timeout!
