Anyone know why dick v isn't announcing the duke game?

Maybe because he is so pro Duke ESPN was afraid the UNC fans would complain?

I read he wasn't announcing this particular game. I tend to think networks just want a new face to announce games to see if the ratings change.

Just like the old, "we want to go in a different direction" type statement.

This is probably the reason. His act has worn thin and his love for all things Duke has made him hard to listen to.

He is over the hill like the rest of us.
