GOLD AND BLACK ILLUSTRATED VOLUME 27, ISSUE 4 65 has always looked at ways to increase the reach of the basketball program and the school as a whole. His most recent efforts have been getting Pur- due logos placed on barns around the state of Indiana. He's already had success with the Purdue logo and Rick Mount tribute on a couple of silos just north of Leb- anon. In addition, he did the legwork to get the motion P logo updated on a barn that smacks motorists in the face when exiting off I-65 southbound at the State Road 43 exit. "It makes sense for us due to our strong background in agriculture," said Bloom, who wishes he had more time to devote to finding locations. "There is so much potential there. I have had 10 people reach out to me following the Mount project and they want to be involved. The more you do it, the more it will take off. All of it builds on something we have an abundance of (and) that is tradition." Another reinforcement of Purdue's proud past in men's hoops has been the bobblehead giveaways in recent years.

It's also served as a con- venient excuse for Joe Barry Carroll and Glenn Robinson to return, two players who don't visit Mackey Are- na yearly. The added effect has been introducing younger fans like Paint Crew members to the legends of Pur- due basketball.
