championships from the 20's. How come we have not been previledged to any news articles or videos of the "students rolling Toomers" in 1983 when Bear Bryant died?

IF there are any to share, i'd love to read about them.

There are NONE... I have looked... It is a Bama myth.. An Urban Legend in their own mind... they have told it enough that most of them believe it...

Because that claim is a LIE. I was a SR in college in '83 and can assure you with my warped memory for trivia, that would be something I reacall rather easily.

Good grief. If there are any Alabama fans on this board trying to reflect or spin what happened yesterday, STOP. You will come off like an idiot.

See i am too young to remember any of that and grew up in Ga. so evn if it did happen, it would not be news worthy in Atlanta.

I would think that it would be a big enough deal that someone would have written about it.

for all the claims about how classless LSU fans are, in our yearbook that year, the "Gumbo" dedicated a page to Coach Bryant saluting his accomplishments and value to the conference and football in general.

Kinda a cool name. Is ours still the Glomerata or something like that?

BTW, I agree, any spin whatsoever is a lost cause in this case. There is no spin for what happened to Toomers.

I can tell you with certainty that the rolling of toomers didn't happen after the Bear's death living in Auburn at the time. I was too young to since I was in grade school at the time but my dad who is a Bama fan who went to Alabama drove by there every day on his way to work and he's said he would have noticed and would have been POd if the students had done that.
