| College professors slam Iowa's basketball ad
[quote]The first e-mail was sent by a journalism professor at the University of Illinois. Then came an e-mail from a journalism professor at the University of Nevada.
Both professors had seen the Sept. 16 column in The Gazette about the University of Iowa's advertising campaign to sell men's basketball tickets. Their reaction to Iowa's ad campaign can be summed up in two words: stunned disbelief.
Iowa's first full-page ad showed Hawkeye forward Jarryd Cole dunking the ball, claiming Cole's dunk brought the Ohio State Buckeyes to their knees and brought a sellout crowd to its feet. The problem is that Cole did not play against OSU last year.
Iowa's second full-page ad featured a picture of Hawkeye guard Jeff Peterson, claiming his steal against Illinois sparked a 14-0 run. There's a problem with that one, too. Peterson played against Illinois but was not credited with a steal, and Iowa never had a 14-0 run.[/quote]
Funny stuff.
