During Thursday’s men’s basketball game between Purdue and Indiana, which drew nearly one million viewers, Purdue aired an ad proclaiming that the state of Indiana was “their state”. I won’t dignify the ad by linking it here and I actually couldn’t even find it on YouTube, so they may have deleted it. It wouldn’t be the first time they thought better of a post, as you can see from this screenshot Luke (one of our new writers) grabbed on the CQ Twitter:
To Purdue’s credit, maybe they knew the Boilermakers would be the heavy favorite in Thursday’s matchup in Assembly Hall, and they may have even known that Mackenzie Holmes and Nicole Cardaño-Hillary would be out for Sunday’s game at Mackey Arena when they bought the advertising space for this “our state” commercial.
