Debate arises from t-shirt slogan

Published Oct 12, 2007

Texas Tech has been given a black eye, and Geoffrey Candia delivered the punch. Administrators at Texas Tech banned the sale of a T-shirt depicting a silhouette of Michael Vick dangling the Texas A&M mascot, Reveille, by her leash.

The T-shirt, bearing the university colors that read "Vick 'Em" in reference to the Aggie's slogan "Gig 'em," was created by a Tech student through his fraternity.

Even though Candia, the creator of the T-shirt, expressed regret in printing them, the school still took action.
