I highly doubt it. And even if it did happen, it would have been a small group of people who would have been told to stop by the vast majority of passerby that day. Bryant's death was a shock to the world of college football, not just to Tuscaloosa or the state of Alabama. The sports world mourned him and President Reagan even made mention of his passing. Is it possible there were two or three assholes in Toomer's Corner rolling the trees in January 1983? Yeah. But it most definitely wasn't a crowd like you would see after Auburn won a football game.

Was it? I was only 9 and didn't care a thing about Auburn or Alabama then. Was he sick for a while? Did the illness play a part (publicly) in him retiring?
