In NYC for St. John's game and Big East Tournament, me and two other writers from the Tribune went to Times Square and asked people some questions about Marquette. Didn't look for the least intelligent people or anything. Pretty funny.
There really is no reason any of these random people should have a good idea of what Marquette is, but still, was fun to make.

Did the Tribune relax its standards for proper grammar?
Actually just finished watching and I found myself laughing aloud. Especially funny was the Buzz Lightyear segment. Well done.

Whoops, sorry. Forgot how many people are trolling around here to pounce on something like that (I re-read that one about 15 times to ensure proper grammar).

This made me laugh a lot. I thought this was a pretty funny video and interesting. I think college basketball is hard once you get outside of the "blue bloods" for recognition. Hopefully the successful runs of the past few years, (hopefully) this year, and the branding that will happen with the New Big East will help grow the brand even further.

Me thinks thou doth protest too much.
Like it or not to become known we need multiple final four and championship game runs. The sweet 16's are a lot of fun for the fans and a decent portion of basketball fans MIGHT recognize something like that, but to have an impact on general knowledge you've got to make the big time.
Great video, though. Very entertaining.

Here we are, trapped in the amber of the moment. There is no why.
Like bugs we crawl through life on our bellies, nurtured from birth on a steady diet of foma, only to fall into that viscous goo and be preserved for future generations as a curiosity for their bemused pleasure.
