What's most disappointing about this story is that the man arrested is 62 years old. You'd think a person that age would have a little more perspective about collegiate athletics. My god. And watching that video, you can see how it's impacted Auburn officials. It's just a terrible, senseless act.

And Alabama is the person whom everyone else in the looney bin refers to as "crazy."

Didn't he say it was in revenge for them "decorating" the tree when bear bryant died?  30 years ago?

That was his justification, which many people on both sides say never happened.

You should read the message boards at Alabama on this topic.  Some sane people and certainly a share of folks where the rivalry is so heated, they're selling t-shirts to free this guy.  Crazy stuff....passionate folks but crazy.

I heard it was because he was mad about them 'cheating' to get cam.

He did say he was also mad that Auburn put a "Scam Newton" jersey on a Bear Bryant statue.

Roll Damn Tide!
