You are trying to rewrite history.

There are less than 100 bammers that see updyke in a negative light. He is on the mount rushmore of your all time fanbase.

He HAD to call and tell the world. Why? Because he knew he would be received with open arms and cheers from his peers.

Harvey is the epitome of an alabama fan.

Everything about his life, his disabilities, his weight, his lack of intellect, his marriage, and his naming of his kids just "fits" in tuscaloosa.

Well, the trees weren't the picture of health before Harvey did his horrible crime. They had been subjected tons of high pressured water for toilet paper removal over the years and, like any other tree, had a life cycle that was going to end at some point.


The trees were healthy and could have lived another 50 years or so. There was one report about this, but that was later disproved. Everything will die, but that is not justification for killing something. It is no different if you murdered someone who is 99 vs. 29. It is still murder.

He might have had a driver or something, but its not like this was too hard or complex.


I don't think he ever quite said how he got away with it. The trees were located at a pretty heavily traveled intersection, so he would have had to have dressed up like a maintenance worker (or gone out there in the middle of the night) to avoid drawing attention to himself.

come now. It's a lot more than that. Like most things between our fanbases the truth likely lies somewhere in the middle.

No fricks are given about Updyke or those trees.

However, it will give Auburn fans material to feed their incessant need to play the victim forever.

Less than 100 sidewalkers I might buy. The vast majority of Bama Grads I know found him to be embarrassing.

You guys should be thanking Harvey actually. If he didn't exist you would have to invent him.

Without a specific person with which to focus their anger they would have directed it at all Bama fans. It would have been ugly for the state.


Very true.

and Bama fans almost universally blasting him for what he did


I beg to differ here. You can go back to the thread on this very website when the news broke, the thread that got be banned for about half a year when I lost my shite, and you will find the majority of bama fans either applauded it or thought it was hilarious. Very few called out Harvey's actions as be despicable, deplorable, or similar. I also went to bamamag or tidesports or some other bama message board and the response was overwhelmingly supportive of Updyke's actions the day it happened. Which consequently contributed to me losing my shite that day.

Pretty sure 14 (lol) and counting was one of these, assuming he could afford the trip.

Updyke was a popular destination for fans Sunday night. Many fans stopped him begging for autographs and photos while he was strolling up and down Bourbon Street this evening.

You're an odd one. No one outside a few bama fans is or should be thanking your team's fan.

Just have to chalk it up to "truth is stranger than fiction"

Just STFU and go stare at your personalized Updyke autograph so the rest of us aren't subjected to your stupidity for a while.
