I’m guessing that Coach K‘s publicist scheduled this one thinking that he might be able to pull in a few book sales from The Colbert Report’s viewers, but I have my reservations about that demographic buying much or reading anything. Regardless what ensued was an interview that was at times awkward, but mildly interesting. Personally I think Coach K is more in line with Oprah than Stephen ColbertĀ  (plus an “Oprah’s Book Club” sticker would be worth at least a million copies sold to middle-aged women).

UConn Students Take Aim at Calhoun http://rushthecourt.net/2009/03/07/uconn-students-take-aim-at-calhoun/ http://rushthecourt.net/2009/03/07/uconn-students-take-aim-at-calhoun/#respond Sun, 08 Mar 2009 00:35:08 +0000 http://rushthecourt.net/?p=6092

We’re all familiar with the Coors Light commercials where they take famous soundbytes from a press conference and parody them with random guys asking questions or making asinine statements to fit the coach’s famous quotes. Well we noticed that TheUConnBlog.com had a post featuring what appears to be a group of UConn students who tried their hand at making an amateur Coors Light commercial with the infamous Jim Calhoun press conference. We agree with the aforementioned blog that it’s not the best video, but it is a solid effort although I hope they aren’t majoring in TV Productions.

We held off on doing a post about this since every other blog already had a post up about it, but you may have heard that Rick Pitino and Christian Laettner were filming a commercial for Vitaminwater recapturing the magic of the 1992 East Regional Final. Personally, I enjoyed the Kentucky fans reaction the most.

Well today we received an e-mail in our inbox letting us know that the commercial was finally online. Here it is.

Duke fans, feel free to run around your homes or offices like mad men (or women). Kentucky fans [...]]]> http://rushthecourt.net/2009/03/05/pitino-and-laettner-together-again/feed/ 2
