IU goes paranoid: Assembly Hall official asks fan to remove pro-Bob Knight shirt

Those of us who went to IU and covered sports know how controlling the school can be. So it should be no surprise when, at last night’s 68-66 loss to Wisconsin, this fan (who told The Bloomington Herald-Times his name was “Tucker”) was asked by an Assembly Hall official to change this shirt reading “Bring Back Bobby”:

We’d know if he actually changed it or not, save the fact the Herald-Times is the only paper in the country still charging subscription rates for it’s stories (come on guys: $17 for three months of your crappy little paper? Gimme a break).

Regardless, would it be too much to ask the IU freakazoids to get a life?  He had no obscenity on the shirt, it wasn’t going to cause a riot, and by the looks of it, well, he’s not the brightest bulb in the lot.

Public Relations still isn’t IU’s strong suit
