Would have been better if the caller had first asked if they knew who Mark Helfrich and Marcus Mariota were. If they could ID those two then I'd give this stunt some kudos. If not, then blahhhh!

From a local Oregon newspaper: LINK (http://www.oregonlive.com/sports/oregonian/john_canzano/index.ssf/2014/07/canzano_does_the_baylor_qb_reg.html)


Said Briles at Big 12 media day on Monday: "Go to a Dairy Queen in Salem, Ore..." and they've heard of Petty.


So we did (http://750thegame.com/2014/07/21/do-you-know-bryce-petty/). Or at least one of my radio-show (750-AM and 102.7-FM, 12-3p) production assistants did. There are six official Dairy Queen locations in Salem. Judah Newby made the calls, so full credit to him, but the audio is priceless.


None of the six locations had heard of Petty.


"I've never heard of him," said one male (West Salem) Dairy Queen employee, who was asked if he knew Petty or Briles. "You know you called a fast food restaurant, right? Are those like owners of Dairy Queens or employees?"


Another male Dairy Queen employee at the Mission Street location said, "I'm not familiar with it at all, I can ask my manager."
The manager said, "I have no idea. I don't know."


The best employee reaction when asked if anyone knew Bryce Petty.


"Like a dog?"


While nobody knew Petty, one employee said he knew that Wyoming quarterback Brett Smith was an undrafted free agent signed by Tampa Bay, "waiting to play in the NFL."



Bwahahahaha

Have they heard of Britney Gundy?

[swardboy]

Like a dog!

Bret Smith is a W. Salem grad that did well at Wyoming.

I'll drive by a few DQ's and let them know about the best qb in the league.... Mr. Knight.

Having lived in Eugene for several years, I would be surprised if they could name Oregon's starting QB or even the current head coach. Football just isn't part of the culture like it is in Oklahoma.

[ouflak]

Yeah that's kind of what I'm thinking. You ask a random Dairy Queen employee in Oregon who the current administrator of the EPA is, or what the most recent state to allow marijuana is, and you've got a much much better shot at getting the right answer than asking what name the Oregon-Oregon State rivalry is commonly referred to as.

HUH?

What about Jared Leto or Billy Crudup?

HUH?

Having worked in Oregon, I'd be surprised if they could name the sitting US President.

I'd be surprised if anyone at the DQ over on La Salle knows who Petty is.

[vtsooner21]

But I'm betting that they know what a Choco Cherry Love Blizzard is...
