A look at some noteworthy television this week:

People, I think, are actually seeking unification in one form or another. You can look to the success of sites like Friendster and MySpace as evidence. Of course we differ from those virtual clubs, because we’re very real and very tactile—like corduroy, actually. We’re trying to emulate and reference old, secretive social clubs, like The Masons or The Knights of Columbus. I love those old clubs. Corduroy is able to unify because everyone knows what it is, it’s not rare or difficult, everyone can get it and everyone has some kind of association or reaction to corduroy. Our slogan is “All Wales Welcome,” so anyone, provided they exhibit appreciation of corduroy can be in the club.

A performance like the one last night can't be a good thing for the Illini. They were dominated by the Knights inside the paint during the first half of play. FDU outscored Illinois 20-10 and outrebounded them 21-12> By the end of the game, FDU had 42 rebounds to 30 by Illinois. Gothamist is pretty sure that everyone that has Illinois going anywhere in the tournament was sweating last night's game out.

In New York City, the only taste of March Madness we had was the Big East Tournament, which St. John's didn't even participate in due to self-imposed penalties (not related to curfew-breaking strip club visits). "Big time" college ball will return to New York later this month in the form of the NIT.
