Gonzaga's year in media

[CB4]

March and April AT&T commercials heavily featured Gonzaga, Chet, Ammo, guy wearing Zag shirt walking on the beach.

The movie Air, about Nike's story signing Michael Jordan, with Matt Damon and Ben Affleck, Viola Davis, and Jason Bateman, has about four or five Gonzaga references, including Matt Damon asking the store clerk of he knows where Gonzaga is. "Yeah, Spokane, Washington," he replies.

A remake of White Men Cant Jump with protagonist being a washed out player who played at Gonzaga.

Pretty good year.

Thanks for the great summary, CB4! Pretty cool to see our little college from Spokane become such a cultural icon!

Who? Who the crap is Jimmy Kimmel? Never heard of him. I think he is a made up person, a character taken out of a book of fiction.
