Bama fans, can you tell me about this bear lookalike?

A girl I know posted this picture on her facebook page. I don't know anyone in this picture, but for the sake of being above board I blanked the faces anyway. Is this a statue or some sort of wax figure (honestly wouldn't be surprised knowing bama) or is there an absolute dead ringer on campus? Is this guy pretty famous/well known?

That's Larry after he killed his father.

Ok thanks.

I figured it was TOO realistic, but didn't know if there was just some really similar looking dude out there.


So does this tailgate just display a wax figure at every game? Seems odd.

Certainly nothing done by the school. Never seen or heard about him before in my life. Just some old guy in a costume.

Yeah I knew that, just didn't know if it was a real person or a statue.

I don't know for sure, but a couple things strike me as odd about it.

For one thing, as you said, it's too realistic.

For another, it's holding its pose a bit too well while some chick is copping a feel.

Also, its placement seems odd. It looks like it's on display.

Pretty sure wax statues don't do well out in the elements.

Looks like just an old dude that looks similar and in costume.

I dunno. The picture isn't close enough. It could be a ringer. Either way, it's kind of mind blowing.

The greatest trick the Bear ever pulled was convincing the world that he actually died.

So he is real!!!

Thanks.

that front on pic isn't nearly as doppelganger-like, but he's still pretty spot on.

Probably a real dude. I doubt anyone would have run all that temporary wiring under the foot of a statue.

Hilarious that the chick is wearing houndstooth.

Ok, up close he's not nearly as much of a ringer. Having the hat pulled down makes the disguise.

I guarantee you at least one Alabama fans saw that and got overly excited only to be bitterly disappointed.

Wanna know how I know you're really fricking stupid?

It looks like they carried Bear to the taxidermist. I also noticed the Bammer wearing a Reebok jersey w/ jordache jeans and a pair of black catchmefrickmes.

And of all the colors in the visible light spectrum you code to put them all in blackface?

What were you thinking?
