March 23--Bill Murray's son keeps making his dad sad.
In an ESPN interview with his father, Xavier assistant basketball coach Luke Murray admits that he has never seen "Caddyshack," one of the older Murray's earliest blockbusters and all-time great sports comedies.
"Yeah, I've never seen 'Caddyshack,' " Luke says. "I've never seen it and I'm sorry. But I made a voew earlier to (interviewer) Jeff (Goodman) that I would watch it. I'm sorry."
Bill's face sinks into a hang-dog expression and comically looks away from his son. "Well, I'm glad you feel good enough to make a promise to Jeff. Yeah. Sure."
It's the second time this month Luke was involved in a disappointing moment for his father. Xavier lost to to Wisconsin on a buzzer-beater in the NCAA tournament as cameras caught Bill's look of devastation, which launch a series of Sad Bill Murray memes.
