The Bama LSU rivalry almost became the most intense rivalry ever. True Story. 1978 at Legion Field. 2 days of drinking leading up to game. My mother's entire family went to Bama. Me...LSU. LSU DB Chris Williams intercepted pass running it back for what would have been 14-3 lead. I was 4 rows up in the middle of Bama fans. As Williams passed us running up sideline, Bear starts yelling "Clipping,Clipping", pointing to Bama player laying on ground with LSU payer nearby. The Ref saw nothing, heard the Bear, looked at Bear then back at Bama player then threw the flag. I lost it. I grabbed the ice in my cup and slung it at the field. Only the ice had melted together and what I thought was a hand full of cubes flew from my hand as a baseball size chunk. As God as my witness and not too proud to say, my world slowed to a slow motion. That chunk sailed right at Bear. And as it flew over his head onto the field the BAMA fans around me and my friend threw us on the ground, tossed a blanket over us and warned us not to move or make a sound. Apparently state troopers fanned out immediately searching for the perp. Those Bama fans saved my life. That ice flying high saved my arse from a pounding each Bama governor since then would renew on his/her first day of office that would still be going on today. But what a rivalry we would have with Nick, Les and a fan who murdered Bear Bryant. So Eff You Bama. I still hate you. Even though you have the best looking girls and the nicest fans anywhere that saved my butt....

I would just like to say that Chris Williams was a baller. Willie Teal too.

Don't sweat it bro. The Bear was too drunk to notice anyway.

An 11 year old dan Mullen touched bear.

Bear died and Merlin got drunk for the first time from contact.

I have a similar story. At a Bama LSU game some years ago, I was carrying some psychedelic liquid. As a Louisiana trooper approached me on the sideline, I flung the vial a couple dozen yards downfield, breaking on the toe of Les Miles nikes. For a brief moment, Leslie and I made eye contact. He looks down at the ground and smiles, taking a sampling of the dose (along with a side salad of Bermuda), nodding in my direction, with a wink. Today I live with the burden of inspiring Miles to make one of the best play calls of the series. Right up there with the lsd no-no. OPEN THE DOOR / GET ON THE FLOOR /EVERYBODY WALK THE DINOSAUR.

That's not even remotely humorous. You fancy yourself a funny and witty guy, yes? That isn't even in the ballpark. Give some fricking effort.


To the OP, I enjoyed your story

I made you sad.

That makes me happy.

That's a win.

I DID kill Bear Bryant. Poisoned his Top's burger after the Liberty Bowl in 82.

Never saw it coming.
