I've spent the morning dwelling on the story of the Alabama sports fan so insanely upset at the team from Auburn that he went to the Auburn campus and poisoned their beloved 130-year old oak trees.
Partly, yes, because it was a totally insane thing to do.
Partly, yes, because it turns out this idiot is a retired Texas state trooper.
But partly...no, largely, because this man, Harvey Almorn Updyke, is apparently such a rabid Alabama fan that he actually named one of his children Crimson Tyde Updyke.
Crimson Tyde Updyke.
I...I just....wow.
