Sad.

The guy would likely have to worry about not having air in his tires on any given day, especially with today's power of FaceBook. Can you imagine every time you go to the grocery store, coming out with all of the air let out of one of your tires? What about wiping eggs off of your windshield every day you drove home from work? What about having to wash off shoe polish from your car windows saying, "I love Auburn?" ... every day for the rest of your life.

A nice fantasy...but you know that the cops would arrest--& the courts would convict--the guys letting air out of his tires, egging his car, writing on his windshield...

Vigilante justice is sweet to contemplate, but the vigilantes would pay.

Can they put the trees on dialysis? :idontno:

And will they have to remove and replace all the soil around them due to the chemicals?

Extended coverage on CNN now - suspect in custody. One of his children is named "Roll Tide" Updyke and the other is "Bear Bryant" Updyke. I'm guessing they will need to change their first and last names and maybe move to another country.

Auburn official chokes up during press conference.

His children were last spotted playing with NASCAR driver Ricky Bobby's two boys, "Walker" and "Texas Ranger"!
