He was Indiana’s favorite Bobby.It was a bit he did with wrestlemania coming to Indiana and he claimed he never heard of Bobby Knight. I think around this time Bobby Knight was having controversy over throwing a chair at a referee or something That was years before, it was a joke about him being "Indiana's favorite Bobby," him looking like Knight, and Knight being a massive heel for choking his 18 year old players on the regular

It's not like Prime Time had a strict dress code or anything... It's actually kind of neat that Vince must have been like "Ya know what? Let's just be comfy for once. Wear a sweater, sweats, whatever you're feeling" FWIW, Backlund wrote in his book that Vince would wear slippers at TV tapings, because he was running around so much.

Its also worth noting that Heenan worked a lot in Indiana while in Dick the Bruiser's WWA territory so it might have been both an in character gag and a shout out at the same time. He grew up in Indianapolis and began his career in the WWA, where he made a name for himself. So it would be no surprise that he would support IU basketball, considering Bloomington is just 30 minutes south of Indy.

He also used to chew a towel in his mouth when he got nervous during matches with his guys in them, which is what Jerry Tarkanian used to do
