My Grandma got a speeding ticket at 95 doing 50 in a 35. She was late for card game.

To quote a famous Lewis Grizzard line, did your granny keep a lit cigarette in her mouth, squint her eyes, and tell the officer to kiss her ass?

Probably. She smoked for 50 years then quit cold turkey at 66.

Re: Alabama Crimson Tide
My grandmother is 93. She turns 94 in October. She was independent until a few months ago. One of her sons stays with her for part of the day and various members of the community cook for her now. She has really slipped since my aunt (her only daughter) died in February.
I proudly took AFAM 040 at Carolina.

Hate to hear that DS. Sometimes a personal tragedy will exacerbate a person's already frail state.

There's nothing wrong with them.... Green and growing. I'm thinking Updyke was framed or paid by an AU booster club.Jungle Rat wrote:Did the trees die yet?

In his honor, the REC has already established "The Harvey Updyke Distinguished Fellow's Chair of Advanced Horticultural Studies" as UA.

Re: Alabama Crimson Tide
Is that the same REC which validated the signatures on the Dyer memoribilia you and AA were discussing the other day?
He just doesn't look like the Alabama type to me... We don't usually have such a sloped fore head and slumped shoulders ie...AU and UT fans.
The slumped shoulders are from being asked a simple question, and shrugging the shoulder to say "I don't know".
The sloped fore head is from palm slapping the front of our heads when we are told the answer.

He went to college in Tennessee and was in law enforcement in Texas.

Re: Alabama Crimson Tide
Oh, are you still clinging to the "he's not a retired Texas State Trooper" thing because early reports said his employment hadn't been verified? Hell, on the radio they had the attorney who represented him as a Texas State Trooper in his disability case (neck was broken in a high speed chase). Was stationed in some place called Lago Vista most of his time with the THP. His father was killed by a drunk driver and when his mom re-married, they moved from Florida to Texas. He became an Alabama fan because he saw a Coach Bryant on TV as a child one time.
He supposedly still holds the record for DUI arrests in one month. What would you like? A photo of him in his uniform?
Okay....
I know, I know....photoshop. Or something.
Whatever.

Re: Alabama Crimson Tide
In that picture, he looks like the Grupenfuehrer in "The Blues Brothers" whose last words to Henry Gibson were, "I have always loved you."
It matters naught what or where Updyke did for a living. He's still the world's most famous Bama fan, edging out Megaskeet420 for that honor. I'm fine with that.

Re: Alabama Crimson Tide
True, what he did for a living is academic; however, his profession came into question back on the other board and is spilling over into this.
I cannot deny that he pledged his fandom to the University of Alabama while living in Florida. Many people do. Most famous? Hardly. Most infamous? In recent events, certainly.

Re: Alabama Crimson Tide
I still say he was framed or paid by AU boosters. Trees are green and growing. They'd probably do well if some people would quit wrapping them in toilet paper. Can't be good for 'em.

Re: Alabama Crimson Tide
The toilet paper is bad enough, but pressure washing said paper out of trees on Monday is probably worse.
