Ohio State superfan Buck-I-Guy caused a stir Wednesday when he attended the Earle Bruce memorial service in full regalia. Wildly, it wouldn't even be the most tactless thing he did that day.

Buck-I-Guy later attended family visiting hours at Schoedinger Funeral and Cremation Service in Worthington (sans uniform) and signed a Bruce family memorial photo meant for former players and coaches.

A petition to ban Buck-I-Guy from university property is now circulating. As of this writing, it has 200 signatures.
