Title: 30 for 30 on Bo Ellis
Post by: Retire54 on February 11, 2013, 02:47:30 PM: Pudi, Comm ’01, and Chris Marrs, Comm ’98, were in town shooting footage for their upcoming project for ESPN Film’s 30 for 30. The film short, titled Untucked, will feature former Marquette basketball star Bo Ellis, Sp ’77, and the famous uniform he designed for the team.

I thought 30 for 30 was suppose to be stuff that happened since the invention of ESPN in 1979.

Most of them have been very well done.

That makes more sense. I was getting really excited for a main piece.

Horsefeathers.

Well, Pierce column + video is still pretty cool.

That's Charles P. Pierce, Marquette alumn.

Post by: tower912 on February 12, 2013, 08:15:32 AM: The ESPN announcers referenced how cool MU's unis were back in the day. During the Pistons game, which I flipped to during timeouts, George Blaha, the Piston announcer who has been doing their games for 30 years, compared the new NOLA uniforms to "something Marquette would have worn back in the day". So I am looking forward to this documentary.

Post by: Niv Berkowitz on February 12, 2013, 11:12:17 AM: Simmons has mentioned MU's uniforms a number of times and how cool they were in the 70s so I'm sure, as one of the exec producers/creators of 30 for 30, this project was easy to get off the ground.
