Bill Walton took off his shirt in the middle of calling a televised ESPN college basketball game
Basketball — and counterculture — legend Bill Walton could not wait to put on a tie-dye shirt he was given while calling Saturday’s Kansas-Texas basketball game.
Literally, he could not wait.

Walton, who is apparently a big fan of tie-dye compared to the average basketball commentator, was given the “Keep Austin Weird” shirt by Texas football coach Tom Herman. It’s worth noting that Walton was already wearing another tie-dye shirt at the time (it’s also worth noting it wasn’t the first time).

Walton’s decision apparently was met with universal pleasure.
Unfortunately, everything I eat for the next 24 hours will smell like Bill Walton’s armpits.
