Hello, Ultimate Faithful!
On this March Eve, Duke traveled down (no Elliot Williams/Jon Scheyer jokes please) to Virginia Pyrotechnical Institute for a game with the Virginia Tech Hokies and their extremely angry coach for BIG ACC game... would Tech pull off an important win, or would Duke continue playing strong after a mid-season letdown? Well, settle down with your favorite drink and allow The Ultimate Lord to wow you with...
...The Ultimate Truths!!
* Uh, okay, that VT cheerleader had HUGE boobs. Is that a terrible way to start The Truths?
* Did anyone else see that ad courtside and immediately think "Sexchange? Huh?!"
* Dykes takes the game REALLY personal. Frustrated? Really? As an announcer? Let's not get carried away, James.
* Gerald didn't woof all *that* much on that tech... it seemed it was just the look. However, his emotions have been a bit more obvious recently, both in post-dunk celebrations (he has come down excited a few times recently) and in yawping at the refs. He should pay heed.
* Really nice to see Jon on track (and as a PG at that!) Everyone knew he would come around, given how damn smart he is. Seriously, when the ball is in Jon's hands The Ultimate Lord has no concern at all.
* Every productive minute for Brian is a positive. And he did get a productive minute this game!
* Great batted-in-tip by Dave McClure!
* The low angle shot of Delaney and Jon really helps one appreciate how much bigger Jon is than many of the PGs he is facing.
* Kind of B.S. about Gerald not being able to beat you with the 3, although The Ultimate Lord understands the point.
* Poor Gilbert the English tutor.
* Nolan with the ear plugs? Heh, was that Jon teasing him about pulling them out?
* Speaking of Nolan... could this in some weird way actually be a positive for him? It forces him away from playing for a few games and away from the frustrations he has had of late, and gives him an emotional "break," which he can come back from as if starting from scratch.
* Brian loves the spin to the baseline. He doesn't suck at it, but unfortunately he doesn't get to use it often (and sometimes when he does gets called for hooking.)
* Hm, rather enjoyed the "blind resume" bit, although it really didn't pay off; expected the team with the better "blind" resume to be Coppin State or something "unexpected." Instead, it just sort of went according to expectations.
* Elliot still makes The Ultimate Lord cringe just a touch when he is handling the ball. Sure he can drive, but at times Elliot still looks a touch out of control.
* Heh... "For those of you who read lips..." Yeah, Seth doesn't hold back.
* You know, for all the folks talking about Duke getting outrebounded... The Ultimate Lord can't help but feel some of this is just residual from the last few years, because Duke is not rebounding that badly this year.
* "Hope that's on ESPN!" Love to see a crack in the corporate armor... and loved the follow up:)
* Geralds dunk at the break near the end of the half was very understated... a little "comment" on the tech?
* Great catch by Lance for the slam... ordinarily (and especially in the years before this one) those go off his hands.
* J.T. Thompson has a LOT of lip. The Ultimate Lord almost wants to send in a quarter towards the guys cleft lip surgery.
* B.S. call on that foul on Email when defending that Delaney drive. You could tell by Elliot's expression that he knew it, too.
* Speaking of Email, glad to see him hit a few threes, and get away from that nervously wild shot he sometimes took earlier in the year.
* Holy christ Jimmy, enough with the damn hokie pokie!
* The Ultimate Lord is enjoying the two-coach reaction split screen shot actually. For once a gimmick actually improves the viewing experience!
* WHOA! WTF is with the game announcers doing a demonstration with the damn game ball!?!? Where on EARTH did that come from!? Seriously?! BTW, anyone else want Nessler to take Dykes to the hole and slam it home a la cheesy "The Naked Gun" special effect?
* Wow what a cheap *** elbow on Singler. Inadvertant or not? Are you kidding? The guy looked at Singler and then threw an elbow in his face. The Ultimate Lord really doesn't buy that the guy was just trying to box out.
* That Pacific Life ad SUCKS. The combo of whales and stupid music... and someone got paid to come up with that. Holy crap.
* "Outstanding by VT!" Argh... is Brad back?! Ah nope, wasn't said with a good ol'boy accent.
* 22% shot and he'll miss it one out of five times? Hey, give The Ultimate Lord a 22% shot all day long!
* Angel Daniel Vassallo? Awesome. He sounds like a gangbanger.
* Hm, you ARE a hokie, and The Ultimate Lord would be happy to kiss you!
* Damn those are some TOUGH close losses by Tech. Too bad Duke is about to hang another one on you, Seth.
* Great cut by Kyle at the end there.
* The Ultimate Lord doesn't understand the guy on the bench yukking it up when his team is down a few points with under a minute to go. Who gives a crap if you have a cold, get your goddamn head into the situation.
* Love Virginia Tech's hot whiteboard carrier there. Why, hellooooo there!
* ARGH that Scheyer walk video will be everywhere now, on the Heels of the Elliot walk video. Do announcers pull this "call them out" crap with other teams, or is it just us?
* 9th best free throw shooter in ACC history? Not bad for Jon.
* Heh, speaking of Jon, he is REALLY enjoying teasing Nolan about those earplugs.
And finally...
* Congrats to the Future Frankels, as a former Tent #1er celebrates a Duke win by getting engaged to a smart girl with big boobs!

This is hilarious. You must have been in my brain watching the game b/c these are all thoughts that went through my head! What up with the announcer ball demo? and "FRustrated" I thought they were supposed to be neutral?? Anyway, hilarious.
The Ultimate Lord is glad you enjoyed! Originally most of these thoughts were shared during the game with the fellow Duke alumn, but since he moved, The Ultimate Lord has decided to share with everyone!
He is also really hoping someone else thought the "Sexchange" bit when they saw "Seatexchange." Was that really just The Ultimate Lord?
