Speedo Guy Returns to Duke-UNC

Speedo Guy III came and went in the UNC-Duke rivalry ... and hopefully he will never come back.

ESPN spent all day on its family of networks showing a feature on the original Speedo Guy. 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 saw Speedo Guy (who is now a minister), Jackie Manuel and Mike Krzyzewski (who said that no one should ever do that again) discussing the incident. No one listened because Speedo Guy II appeared in 2005 while UNC's Marvin Williams shot (and missed) two free throws.

ESPN's Reece Davis noted that UNC has missed all free throws that Speedo Guy has danced to. Trap set. As you can see in the video above, the bait was taken.

The only difference is that this Speedo Guy failed where other Speedo Guys succeeded. Deon Thompson (who already is a poor free throw shooter) was on the line when he got up to do his thing. Thompson did miss the first foul shot, but made the second. Statistically, this makes the Speedo Guy III the worst ever.

Visually, he takes it too. The first two just did a little dance. This one just decided to point at his junk which was ... considering the emotions of the evening ... inappropriate. ESPN's play by play man Dan Shulman even offered an apology on air to anyone that may have been offended by that.

Hopefully, the Speedo Guy will adhere to the Comedy Rule of Three and retire a joke after its third try.
