ESPN Apologizes for Speedo Guy
Another extremely exciting weekend of college basketball was almost ruined by one guy in a Speedo. Well, that's according to ESPN.
In the midst of its never ending hype of the UNC-Duke game this past Saturday night, the network showed clips of the original "Speedo Guy." See, back in 2003 a clever Duke student disrobed down to a Speedo ...

... a quick post (which I’ve already shared on my Tumblr, natch) detailing the problems the Bulls had defending Chauncey Billups man to man. Even though this year’s Bulls team looks about ten thousand times worse than last year’s, it has the same systemic flaws. For a team that prides itself (or used to pride itself) on defense, not being able to guard so many players is a real sign of weakness.
At this point, though, what do you expect?

Not sure what the Pac-10 has done to Funny Fatzilla of ESPN, perhaps he couldn't beat Pac-10 teams while he coached at New Mexico, but he was in total hatorade mode during the Thursday College Gamenight on ESPN.

With thanks to Awful Announcing , check out this video of Duke’s new “Speedo Guy,” whose debut on national television didn’t go as well as ESPN was hoping:

He was a Duke grad student who, back in 2003, stripped down to his skivvies and danced while UNC's Jackie Manuel shot (and missed) two free throws. ESPN thought it'd be neat to do a feature on his which ...

With the murder of UNC student body president Eve Carson , there was a very serious tone about what was really important. Yes, in the basketball world, this was a huge game. But in the proper context, it is just another collegiate hoops contest. I wanted to take the opportunity to note the class of Duke ...
