Like I said, he arbitrarily chose Bama

Pull up a seat and let Ole Coyote explain how this happened.

Paul William Bryant. That's the answer.

Allow me to expound a little. Being older than most here, I spent my formative years in the U.S. Army. Being poor and rural, the military was my way out of the field, and this was at the height of Coach Bryant's fame in the late 70's.

Not knowing much about anything of the world around me at the time, I was shocked at the number of Bryant Crimson Tide fans I met from all over the country, people that never sat foot in Alabama. Most knew nothing about the state except Bryant and the Tide.

So it wasn't really an arbitrary choice that Updyke choose to be an Alabama fan. It was generational.

That said, he is a crazy, sad piece of shite and a criminal to poison the Toomer oaks. Anyone that allows a game to drive them to criminal or violent acts are sad pieces of shite.
