Ahhh! Had to order the sports package for a day to get the channel for the game, and also to watch the game a bit delayed tonight, and MAN isn't it a nice little treat to turn on ye olde DVR and find Cryolina losing! So much for them being unbeatable. The Ultimate Lord cannot wait to finish The Truths so He can log out and go check out IC! Which player will get tossed under the bus first?! Can't wait to find out!!
* While UNC losing is great, The Ultimate Lord has to admit He likes Ty Lawson's cute little beard. Get yo cheese up... but make sure not to get any in the beard.
* Good start, apparently; all things considered, don't mind missing it.
* Wooo they went to the low angle camera early. Not a great sign.
* A few trios of pricks in red scattered throughout the Crazies.
* Dammit, The Ultimate Lord wanted that Thomas walk to be a Thomas nice-and-1!
* Hm, looking at the Virginia Tech bench feels a lot like watching the first season of "The Wire."
* Why does that Blue Devils graphic look very Cryolina-blueish?
* Greg only gets 7 or 8 minutes a night? That can't be right. GoDuke has Greg at playing 11 games and 218 minutes, so about 20 minutes a game. Wait; is THAT even right?
* Kyle looks a bit more like Mike D. with the hair and the gaunt look now.
* Speaking of Kyle and his gaunt look, maybe the reason so many folks worry about him tiring out is just because he always LOOKS so tired?
* A lot of Crazies ooohing and aaahhing early on with some of the chippy V.T. play.
* The resevoir-tip sweatband style is just stupid looking. Who started that?
* Hm, is this sideline reporter a wussy guy, or a woman with Billy Jean King Syndome? Ahh... apparently a woman. Or a guy with a VERY womanly name.
* Physical game to start. Then again, what would a Virginia Tech game be without a few cheap shots and attempted muggings?
* Where was that "back from commercial" street shot from? Didn't look like 9th Street. It is rare for them not to use a Chapel shot or a Cameron shot!
* Did Thompson deserve a T for that stupid Tyler arm swing celebration? Ehhh...
* Speaking of fouls, how was there no foul called on that Scheyer 3 attempt when the Tech player pulled his arm half out of his socket?
* Vassallo looks like the killer dude from "Ghost."
* Jeez... if Hendo doesn't make it in the NBA, he should join Cirque du Soleil with some of these shots he has taken (and made) recently.
* Hm, seems like the Zoubek of old has shown up in the first. Oh well... 3 steps forward, one step back.
* "I'm Diakite Banana and I've come to say, I am super athletic but have very little in the way of basketball skills... a!"
* J.T. Thompson has a LOT of ink.
* J.T., A.D.... lots of initials on this team.
* Okay Production Truck... get the in-stand view blocked by Crazies once, fine. Twice? Time to switch. A THIRD time? Give The Ultimate Lord a frikking break.
* The nice thing about seeing zone lately is you know the team won't just settle for taking threes.
* Hmph, G has really stepped up. Good, because it makes Duke SO much better. Bad, because that stupid League will be calling...
* Ahh Smith and Paulus together. Neat.
* Love Singler's two attempts at the jump hook! Very Larry Bird/1970s/throwback.
* BTW, G-Man and Brando are a damn fine announce team. Professional, smart, and just the right amount of enthusiasm. You hear that, Dickie V? THE RIGHT AMOUNT. Enthusiasm is not like Medium Amber Grade A Vermont Maple Syrup, where the right amount is ALL OF IT.
* Speaking of maple syrup; The Ultimate Lord honestly likes B grade best. It is the most earthy and flavorful of the syrups.
* Jon Scheyer is a fantastic, loooong, heady defender.
* At the end of the half, liked seeing Kyle so pumped and ready to play D on the last possession against their point guard!
* Oh man... and the Tech player hits the end-of-half midcourt shot. Poor Virginia Tech; when they finally GET some mojo, they waste it after the buzzer!
* Man, there are a LOT of black coaches in the ACC! That has got to be some sort of record.
* You know... when Gary isn't frothing at the mouth and bathed in sweat, he actually can look rather... dignified?
* Does Fox run a TON of commercials at the half or what? Feels like there have been a lot of "And we are back... just in time for this commercial break!"
* No problem with Delany taking that 1-on-3 three pointer, to be honest; if he had hit it, it would have been a REAL momentum shot.
* HATE THE LOW ANGLE SHOT! Seriously, you cannot tell ANY depth from it. Enough already, Fox.
* In very fast forward, the shot of Ted Danson in the "Damages" ad is priceless.
* The Ultimate Lord liked to see Smith get knocked back and then go RIGHT back at the Tech players for the basket.
* Nice use of the body by the Duke players to keep the Tech shotblockers away in the second half under the basket.
* "Touch of Gray" sponsoring the K thing? Dammit, the Carolina fans will love that one. It is naturally black, dammit!!
* Just FYI, it wasn't all 12 medals.
* American Forces Network? Wasn't it the ARMED Forces Network?
* BTW, we should totally go back to the Department of War. Forget this "Department of Defense" nonsense. The world respect us more back then.
* Woof, if McClure didn't get that tip on D at the three point line, the banana guy would have had a monster slam.
* That Singler graphic was HUGE. You know a graphic is huge when it ALMOST completely covers Seth Green's head.
* Speaking of Seth Green, he is really funny in "Entourage."
* Hm, cheap little forearm to take Paulus down. Quick, get him the ball! Greg always plays best after getting wacked.
* Speaking of getting wacked, the finale to the Sopranos SUCKED. When the majority of viewers think that an ending was actually just their cable going out, that is not a good sign.
* Apparently, tonights Ultimate Truths are brought to you by HBO.
* Nothing will EVER surpass "Band of Brothers." Unless, POSSIBLY, it is "The Pacific," which HBO just finished shooting and follows a group of Marines through the Pacific Theater in WWII.
* The G-Man is a great announcer.
* OHHH sweet give and go, although speaking of the G-Man his telestrator picture looked a bit... well... phallic.
* BTW... remember how Jon is, like, the 2nd best free throw shooter in Duke history or something like that?
* Where have Miles and Elliot been?
* Love the ref patting the Tech player on the rump and telling him "Listen, the crowd might be annoying, but they are right; tuck that thing in."
* Speaking of the crowd; it is SO nice to have the REAL Crazies back!
* Tech has just given up. Look at the body language; they are done.
* Man, look at the Duke staff practically rush the floor to praise the players at that time out; nice stuff.
* The Ultimate Lord will close His eyes tight and believe beyond reason that HokieHigh was a real person who really believed what he typed; it makes it SO much more fun to laugh at!
* There is something oddly satisfying and Duke-like about looking in the crowd and seeing a young black guy with glasses and a decidedly nerdy air wearing a Jon Scheyer jersey.
* A bit sorry we saw none of the frosh until it was over... although we DO go like 8 deep, so maybe that is fine. As long as Kyle doesn't get any more exhausted looking...
* Speaking of the frosh; Email has some SERIOUS eyebrows. Has he been taking lessons from Wojo?
* Seth Greenberg would have been excellent in "John Adams." Slap a wig on that fellow!
* McClure is starting to love that little circus reverse layup!
* Greg was last in the handshake line again... is this done on purpose? Honestly, The Ultimate Lord would like that, for the senior point guard the be the final word.
* Kyle with 19/8/7/2... JEEZ what a line. That is insane.
* Whoa, did The Ultimate Wife just make a ball handling joke?!
* Does everyone else laugh at that Steve Wallace "I drank that there stuff, and next thing you know we are out at like five in the morning and we're just fishing!!" ad? This is supposed to make The Ultimate Lord WANT to drink this crap? If anything, He is staying the hell away from it thanks to that. What do they think, this is an N.C. State game?
* And finally, on a somber note, it took almost until the end of the game before The Ultimate Lord remembered the mess at Virginia Tech. A real shame that happened.
All in all, a VERY satisfying day of basketball. This next few weeks is intense, and it was nice to see the guys come out and play really effective, unselfish basketball and intense defense. Go Duke!
