Indiana Farm Bureau Presents An IU Basketball Tradition

During the mid 1970s, Indiana Farm Bureau Insurance ads included this iconic Martha the Mop Lady campaign. It ran prior to the games on local television channel WTTV-4. When broadcasts expanded to national networks, Martha was displaced for roughly 20 years. It was not until 2010 when Martha reappeared; this time, it was on the video board inside Assembly Hall prior to tip-off.

The fact that Martha isn't still the opener is a loss. Hearing this as a kid I could feel the electricity of the crowd. We love Martha!

@paulfox4954 2 жыл бұрын

There was also a pretty good one by Farm Bureau that depicted a Purdue alum dusting off his old trombone in the attic. It aired for several years before Purdue games. Those two commercials encapsulated the excellence that both Indiana and Purdue brought to our state during those glory years.

Wow...I was just a kid back when this used to get played on tv. Sure does bring back memories. You knew as soon as you saw that janitor lady in the empty hallway that you were about to see Bobby Knight's Indiana Hoosiers hit the basketball court. He always bred winning players during his time as their coach, and the reasons why he left his spot were an injustice to the entire game of basketball itself...but who would've ever guessed our country would ever start pampering boys instead of grooming them to become real American men? Fast forward to the future and we see the product of that decision. Yeah..great call on that one you schmucks lol! All that garbage aside...that's one legend who left a legacy that cannot ever be forgotten. R.I.P. Bobby Knight
