I'm good with him being punished in a way someone like him would hate more than anything. Especially if it's productive to the rest of the people. Most of the no good idiots committing crimes are more scared of work than jail time anyways.

on Jan 9, 2012, I watched over 250 bama fans have their pictures taken with Updyke on the corner of Bourbon and Canal. And I did not start counting until I had seen several pictures taken. (My wife and a pal were shopping and I opted out!) I left after about 50 minutes and the line to take pictures was still pretty long. That sight tells me all I need to know about Alabama football fans; bama has the highest percentage of classless fans of anyone in the SEC and it is not even close.

Good to see them trot out Updyke again.


Essentially, this is how you can tell a student from a casual fan.

Students understand what it is like to walk by a piece of history, everyday, for four or more years.

They understand it becomes part of the visual, the experience, and that tradition means something to the student, because their college memories are tied up in it.

IMHO, that's one reason why 'Bama students quickly denounced Harvey, and sincerely apologized for a moron who, boiled down to facts, didn't represent their University.

They understand; they get it. Casuals just want a selfie with the guy that rustled Auburn's jimmmies.

You've determined that by watching 250 people? What does it say about you, that you ditched your wife to stare at Harvey frickin' Updyke for an hour?

Gumps showing their true colors in this thread


at people taking Alabama fans' comments in threads like this seriously. If you haven't figured it out yet, 99% of Alabama fans will say almost any and everything...whether they actually believe it or not...if it will piss off Auburn fans. Does it work? Check the post after yours, and then you tell me.

And your confession of spending 50 minutes of your life...which you will never get back...in such a manner, after ditching your wife, tells the world what a pathetic loser you are.

On second thought, maybe your wife is 5'3, 295, and has a face that looks like the north end of a southbound mule. Hell, upon further review, everyone on the Rant probably would have ditched her also.

Most of them are saying the same thing amongst their own. Harvey is truely the victim in this case according to them. The 99% is an accurate number when discribing the behavior of the bama fan base.

Exactly. There's a guy in the Cam thread giving Bama credit for Cam's success in the league via Mike Shula. He's obviously trolling them but they're eating it up.

You guys are unbelievable. It was a tradition and a staple of Auburn University and that freak decided he didn't like the results of a football game so he made sure to destroy it.


And he has paid for it. Dragging him into the news every time he refuses to pay up a little more is just giving the a-hole the attention that he wants. Let him fade away into obscurity.
