A timeout during indinia’s visit to Mackey drew everyone’s attention to the video boards for a vintage episode of “Ask An Expert,” where Isaac Haas demonstrated the proper technique for removing leaves from a clogged roof gutter, putting on a glove and handily reaching up … while standing flat-footed on the ground.
Haas quickly added it works even better when done with a friend, and a smiling A.J. Hammons appeared alongside making the same reach.
That was the cue for reintroducing everyone to the two 7-footers, two-time teammates, among several basketball alumni who made homecomings and appeared at the nationally televised game.
Next to Caleb Furst’s long-playing series as “Buddy the Elf,” the leaf guards stand as one of Purdue’s best self-promotions. A tip ’o the Boilermaker helmet to the promo folks, old and new.
