Updyke Tossed From Tide Softball Game

15 Comments

Alabama super fan and alleged Toomer’s Corner tree poisoner Harvey Updyke is in the news again, this time for getting tossed from a Crimson Tide softball game on Friday.

Updyke was taking in Alabama’s game against Georgia in the semifinals of the SEC Tournament in Tuscaloosa when he was escorted from the game after reportedly sitting in a lawn chair behind the outfield fence.

Said the university in a press release: “Mr. Harvey Updyke was asked by University of Alabama officials to leave today’s softball game and he complied. Several months ago, the University issued a formal directive to Mr. Updyke stating that he is not to come to the University of Alabama campus.”

Updyke, 63, is facing four felony charges and two misdemeanors for allegedly poisoning the two oak trees at Auburn’s legendary Toomer’s Corner last year which are slowly showing signs of recovery.

Updyke’s trial commences June 13th. He reportedly turned down a plea deal in January that would have included a 13-year jail sentence and a ban from Alabama sporting events.

It looks like the latter was the deal-breaker.

    if we can’t leave “inapproprate comments”, then there is nothing to say about this D*****Bag!!

  • Realist

    If they had tossed out all of the bammer fans that are like updyke, there would have been nothing but Georgia fans left in the stands.

    • Andy

      I don’t know if they could get that much sheet in the stands

  • Humorist

    Now that funny, I don’t care who you are.

    He should not be able to go to any campus of any school.. he is living proof of having a bad attitude and poor sportsmanship. He did it and he knows it . As a sports fan and i love my team greatly.. If you seen inside my home you can see living proof. I have never thought of destorying or hurting any of our rival teams property or land marks. what he did was just pathitic.. I hope he gets what due to some one of such low character. . by wearing Alabama gear he has become the face of alabama fans to many people. If i was a fan of Alabama i would be ashmed he wore my colors.

    Poor Harvey, still got too much Bama in him…. Maybe Takeo Spikes can go over and give him a hug…

  • Pessimist

    One of the two forever faces of Big Bama! Is this guy ever going to court?

  • Gumps

    Piece of garbage should be in jail, not in public.

  • RealBamaFan

    This loser is not an “Alabama super fan.”
    If he were a true fan he would not have done anything to bring shame on the University.

  • Bama Fan

    It hurts me to see them kick out our best FAN! What is going on here Bama? Leave Harvey alone!
    He should be in a box seat with all the best things in life!!

  • GeauxTigers

    True realist very true!! Gump Nation is full of them.

    If ol Harvey wants to sneak into some Bama games, he might think about changing his looks – drop 100 pounds, shave, put a smile on his face, donate funds to the tree fund, work in the animal shelter as a volunteer, and say his name is John … or Steve … or David .. or William – anything but Harvey (who looks like a Bubba to me). As it stands, maintaining his present look and attitude is just thumbing his nose at the system out right – like Alabama wouldn’t follow through with throwing him off the premises. Good for you Bama PD! WDE!

  • TidePrider

    Love seeing all the barner comments…not very many fans of teams can make vandalizing their own trees with toiletry products the ‘in thing’…leave it to the barn

  • SURELYNOTFROMBAMA

    Harvey is just one of “the majority of fans that support either of the 2 biggest programs in Alabama”! If i was someone from Alabama i would move away and claim to be from somwhere else after seeing 30 for 30, WOW! WHAT A BUNCH OF SICK FOLK!!!!

  • 30 for 30 showed us all!

    If you think that this one guy makes up the ignorance of the whole State of Alabama “your sadly mistaken” ……………….1 in every 3 is just like that d****bag, FACT!
