Look, I’m not going to sit here and act like myself, Danny The Intern or L.A. James don’t make spelling mistakes here on BC. There’s no copy editor. Never has been one. This is blogging, not writing to get on the NY Times bestseller list. Actually, for us, it’s better if we make mistakes because then you guys go nuts, you get all bent out of shape and it’s good for business.
Purdue football, however, has government funds to hire people to make sure they don’t look like fools. Yet, here we are this morning dealing with a Purdue football tweet brag about how the school has the second busiest airport in Indiana and THERE ARE ERRORS ON THE HUMBLEBRAG…SHAME…SHAME…SHAME.

You want to another busy airport? The tiny airport at Bowling Green State University. Drive I-75 during the day some time and see how many planes are flying into that airport. It’s a bunch of students learning how to land planes. Same as Purdue.
Let’s take a deeper dive into this whole brag about 2nd busiest airport in Indiana. How about we go back to August of last year…when PURDUE’S AIRPORT WAS TRYING TO GET INTO THE COMMERCIAL AIR GAME…
I feel like there are some shenanigans going on here with this Purdue football humblebrag. I’m starting to feel like the airport has some sort of cargo operation that accounts for most of those 97,000 “operations anually [SIC].”
It’s easy to see what Purdue football is trying to do here. Recruits get the feeling they’ll be accessible for mom and dad, they won’t be stuck in the middle of a corn field with I-65 rolling through town and they can hop on a flight home when needed. The bad news is that they’ll be driving to Chicago or Indianapolis.
And could you please make one of your copy editors do some work?
