No matter how obscure the reference, what shows do you recall with a Purdue reference?

I'll take the easy ones to get us started...

TV: Stranger Things
Movie: Draft Day
 
In the 1993 movie, “Judgement Night”, Cuba Gooding Jr’s character wore a Purdue letterman’s jacket. In one scene, Dennis Leary’s tells Cuba Gooding Jr’s character “Hobo from Purdue. I hate Purdue. When's the last time they ever won anything anyway?”
 
Arnold's had Purdue pennant in the restaurant in Happy Day's. Want to say the pennant was in Blue and White an wondered why that was, but may be misremembering.
I was going to add that one as well. You remembered partially correct as I show it on the left side of the stage but it was black and gold.

There are better images if you search for Happy Day's Arnold's.

It's definitely blue and white and shows up in the Weezer "Buddy Holly" video, which takes place at Arnold's.

Posted before, but too funny not to post again. 1 minute mark gets the reference.
