31 years ago tonight, May 8, 1993, legendary Chris Farley introduced the world to a motivational speaker named Matt Foley…who came into our homes to tell us a quick story about living in a van ...
That, friends, is why each member of the Mallards will be dressed up like Matt Foley, the man who lives in a van by the river, when they take the field July 6 as the Madison Motivational Speakers.
MADISON, Wis. -- If you're 35 years old, divorced and you live in a van down by the river then you might want to make it out to the Madison Mallards' game on July 6th.
Farley, a native of Madison, Wisconsin, first played Foley, a motivational speaker who famously lived in "a van down by the river," on "SNL" in 1993.
In fact, during the Lions game against the San Francisco 49ers on Monday Night Football, Joe Buck compared Campbell to one of the most famous motivational speakers of all time, Matt Foley.
