Did a Fort Wayne fan really celebrate beating Indiana by chugging bleach?
From burning couches in the streets at West Virginia, to rolling Toomer’s Corner at Auburn, to throwing tortillas in the air at UC Santa Barbara, college sports fans have some unusual ways of celebrating big victories.
None of them are stranger than what one court-storming Fort Wayne student did after the Mastadons stunned No. 3 Indiana on Tuesday night.

There’s really no rational explanation for why anyone would take a swig out of a clorox bottle like it’s a jug of cheap champagne, but here’s a guess. That bottle must be a very ill-advised way of sneaking in enough whiskey or vodka to put down a bear.
Social media suggests the Fort Wayne fan’s name is Brian Blackwell, a freshman who appears to be enjoying his newfound Internet fame.

So, Bleach Boy, what was in the bottle? Surely it wasn’t really bleach, right?

Looks like the mystery will live on.
