* "Life begins at 40oz," by the whowhat Freemasons? THAT is the intro music video for a Duke game? Ugh, never thought The Ultimate Lord would say this, but bring back Opera Steve. DUUUUUUUKKE!
* Will Ferrell MUST play the G-Man in the movie.
* That WAS a sick reverse dunk by G at Wake. Very VinceCarteresque.
* Jenn Hildreth has a LOT of mouth.
* Western Kentucky Hilltoppers? Uhhh... is this an inside joke that The Ultimate Lord isn't getting?
* Yes, G-Man! We DON'T give a crap about the Superbowl if there is a Duke game! Thank god someone said it.
* UVa is a YOUNG bunch of Wahoos.
* Great aggressive move by Lance early on. Why can't he ever do that consistently?
* So glad to see Gerald's midrange back in his arsenal; to paraphrase the film Troy, "Gerald, it (the midrange jumper) is yours, take it!"
* Been waiting for a Troy joke ALL DAMNED YEAR.
* Speaking of Gerald, he does have to be a tiny bit careful about harping to the refs after he thinks he is fouled; that has happened a few times, and while it only takes a second, it isn't a great habit.
* That felt like Nolan's first drive to the hoop in a few games. Really nice to see him be more aggressive this game.
* 3:40 in and we get us some Email? Nice! Now where is Miles?
* This Golden Corral "Wrap all our meat in bacon!" thing is righteous. Man, The Ultimate Lord misses the G.C.!
* Real nice block from behind by Kyle on that play where Dave drew the charge; you could see Kyle running down the entire length of the court judging the UVa player speed and momentum and planning, planning...
* Being consistent is SUCH a huge key to being great in ANY sport, and is really one of the hardest things to achieve as an athlete.
* Man Zoubs is so soft. A 7'1 guy should be able to dunk, should not get blocked by guards, and should not try to tip so many damn rebounds. Playing like that should get you on the zench.
* Interesting G-Hill/reluctant star comparison by the G-Man.
* Lots of "G"s in these Truths.
* Cute little blond kid behind the UVa bench in among all those mountain children.
* David McClure must be SO underappreciated by non-Duke fans.
* That UVa flop on the 3 attempt was one of the worst The Ultimate Lord has ever seen.
* Everyone knew that Greg's 3 point percentage last year was an anomaly and wasn't likely to stay that high. This feels more like Greg's realistic level.
* Pizza Hut lasagna? *In a terrible Italian accent* Nooooooo!
* That balding blond 20 year old Crazy is NOT helping out our Dork image. But since he might invent the cure for cancer, it is okay. No pressure or anything, baldy.
* David really does have such an awkward push shot. Having said that, The Ultimate Lord would like to see him shoot just a little more often.
* Heh... "Must have been Virginia fans." Zing, G-Man.
* Wow... even The Ultimate Wife, who doesn't watch anything sports unless there is a birth involved, commented on the Pizza Hut Leading Scorer and asked, in a most dismissive tone, "God, isn't there ANYTHING that isn't sponsored anymore?" No, my dear, there is not. Now go back to "John and Kate Plus 8."
* Is the crowd mic turned down, or are the Crazies a bit quiet today?
* Kyle and Laettner? Uh... as the G-Man said much more nicely, win a few titles and then we'll talk.
* Speaking of 20 point games by a frosh; wonder where Dukies fall in this? The Ultimate Lord would guess "not often," given that K traditionally goes with older guys.
* Man, that Wahoo got that cramp and took that long walk back for help, and NO one on that bench gave a CRAP.
* When did Zoubek start hesitating again? The Ultimate Lord thought he got that out of his system this year.
* Dave Leito's overjoyed look is not quite Gary Williams overjoyed look...
No, Dave's eyes are a lot less clouded-over. Oh, and there is less gnawed chicken wing and college-age titties involved.* BTW, the G-Man is a funny guy.
* Zoubs seems to have a bit more fire in the second. Still shouldn't be guarding guys at the damn half-court line...
* TERRIBLE push call on Plumlee. TERRIBLE.
* Hm, Miles with a real strong finish in close; stronger than anything Zoubek has done in his career, for sure.
* Plumlee with the alley-oop from Email! Frosh powers activate! Form of... a tall athletic white boy dunking! Shape of... a bucket of water?
* And with that, three Miles Truths in a row. Sweetness. Get that man more playing time!
* UVa has some GREAT names... Farrakhan and and Soroya and Tunji and Zeglinski and Assane Sene and Solomon Tat. Sounds like an African team of superheros... with one guest-star from Europe.
* BTW, of those guys, which is most likely, by name, to play for Duke? One guess.
* FINALLY Email hits a 3. 16%?!?!?!? Well, that is maybe less accurate than Greg's 43%.
* And Greg is at the end of the handshake line again. Love that... last face you see at Duke, is Greg Paulus's mug.
