Devout, dedicated fans separate SEC from rest - The Tennessean

Updyke claimed Auburn fans celebrated the 1983 death of legendary Alabama coach Paul “Bear” Bryant the way they revel in all major victories — by toilet papering the iconic oak trees at a campus gathering spot called Toomer’s Corner.Finebaum told Updyke he was wrong, that no such record of an Auburn celebration of Bryant’s death existed.“He told me later, that’s when he snapped,” Finebaum said of Updyke. “He didn’t call in to admit anything.”But Updyke revealed he had exacted Crimson Tide revenge by poisoning those Auburn oak trees with herbicide Spike 80DF. He ended the call with a “Roll damn Tide,” and it was followed by calls from police, national news stories and a 76-day jail term for Updyke in 2013.That saga, which now includes the struggles to replace those Toomer’s Corner trees, is the ultimate example of a fan lacking perspective and causing harm.
