Auburn football fans might finally be able to seek their revenge against Harvey Updyke.
Updkye, the Alabama fan who infamously poisoned Auburn's beloved oak trees at Toomer's Corner in 2010, has agreed to appear at a charity event Sept. 29 in Mobile, Alabama, in which fans will be allowed to either dunk him in a dunking booth or throw pies at his face.
"He thought about it and thought about it," Updyke's wife, Elva, said. "His daughter said he needed to do it because it will show that he's not as big of a nut as some people believe. He told them they can do whatever they want to him if it will raise money for kids."
T.J. Hodges, an Alabama fan living near Chicago, is organizing the event to help raise money for the family of John Oliver, a boy from outside Mobile who died of cancer in July. Hodges started a nonprofit organization, Roses From Linda, after his mother passed away that helps raise money for family members to visit terminally ill patients before they die.
Hodges said he's still working out the particulars of the event, but former Alabama quarterback AJ McCarron, now with the NFL's Cincinnati Bengals, and his mother, Dee Dee Bonner, are helping organize and raise awareness for the charity event.
"The Harvey Updyke idea came from me thinking outside the box to raise money for the family," Hodges said. "I thought I'd take a chance and see if Harvey was interested in helping, and he said he'd do whatever we wanted."
Updyke, a former Texas state trooper, was arrested in February 2011 after a man calling himself "Al from Dadeville" phoned Paul Finebaum's radio show and boasted of pouring herbicide around the 130-year-old oak trees following Auburn's win over rival Alabama in the 2010 Iron Bowl. The caller signed off Finebaum's radio show by saying, "Roll Damn Tide."
Updyke pleaded guilty in March 2013 to one count of unlawful damage of an animal or crop facility. He was sentenced to six months in jail and served 76 days after being credited for 104 days of time already served.
Updyke, who now lives in Albany, Louisiana, also was sentenced to five years of probation and banned from attending any college sporting event for the rest of his life. In addition, he is prohibited from stepping foot on the Auburn campus again. A judge ordered Updyke to pay nearly $800,000 in restitution to Auburn University.
As part of his sentence, Updyke was banned from talking to the media.
Updyke's wife said he realizes Auburn fans probably will show up at the Mobile charity event to take a shot at him.
"He knows there's going to be a lot of Auburn fans there, but he doesn't care," Elva Updyke said. "He's 65 years old. What are they going to do to him? They'll have security there."
-
Celebrating him.
Fuck him.
Fuck them.
This is fucking reprehensible.
-
If this was an Auburn fan pulling this stunt, you would have every state media performing an outrage musical.
-
Fill the dunking tub up with hydrochloric acid, then burn his fat ass.
-
Only if I can throw the balls at his ugly mug
-
I will go with the intent of harming people.
-
I could not go. Criminal charges would follow. I would seriously attempt to cause him physical harm.
What a dumbass to announce exactly where he will be at a given date and time...
-
"...because it will show that he's not as big of a nut as some people believe."
Of course he isn't, he's just like the 80% of that fanbase.
Throw pies at his face? Hmmm, think they'll notice a stack of pies that has big rocks in them?
-
I think the best thing to happen would be for Auburn folks to stay the hell away.
-
This idea is just about as dumb as #AskJameis.
Also, feels an awful lot like entrapment. "Pawwwwl, you knowd them eveil Barners can't resist beating up a old man. Dontchu wish da Govnur would just shutter dat cow school? I'll hangup n lissen."
-

Or Spike 80.
Only fitting irony right?
-
I have a feeling right before the event Updyke will cancel because of too many death threats from Auburn fans. No one will be able to prove the existence of such death threats but that won't matter.
-
I'll partake as long as the pies are frozen.
-
Auburn grad Octavia Spencer can supply the pies.

I really enjoyed how you and all of your friends at this black tie, premier viewing were guffawing in the background. And the ties were probably the only thing black there too, you racist prick.

This^^ because it only adds to the atmosphere the Turds want.

So AJ McTats' mom, who helped organize this shitshow, is claiming she had to cancel updyke's appearance due to death threats.
Can't help bur wonder though, how many charity's ask for partnership, investors, an claims "we can help alot of people and pay our own bills? "

That's even more perfect than Updyke claiming it. No one would have much sympathy for the old tree killer worrying about death threats. The semi-pretty mom with big breasts? Oh, those shitty, cheatin', immoral Auburn people!

Well the real questions that need to be asked are not....
If she goes through with this fundraising deal, and shows up, will she still slip her son the tongue?

It's ALMOST like this whole thing was a setup just for this exact outcome.
Heyyy lezz say weez gone do a dunkin boof with ole harvveeeee, we kin call it fer charutee an all, and then you knowd tha barn wont like it and theyll be allz like "we'd gonna kill him cuz he kill'd are trees!" and then we can say we haff-ta cancel cuz tha barn is wantin to kill a poor ole man. I thank thatd wurk out reel goood...lets do it. We kin tell EEE-Esss-pee-IN too!
-
That whole family is nothing more than a bunch of attention whores. They got so used to ole AJ being the greatest thing since sliced bread, the hero of the Iron Bowl, a first round draft pick... and then he loses to AU, doesn't get another NC, and doesn't even make a 53 man roster for a team as shitty as the Bungles. They are SO FUCKING DESPERATE to remain relevant even tho their 15 minutes was up LONG ago. I bet he wouldn't even be able to get a free beer in Turdscaloser anymore.
And I bet you Katherine the Traitor Bitch is rethinking that whole marriage thing now that she's not the wife of an NFL QB like she had been told she'd be... I wonder how long before she poses in Playboy (maybe a twofer with DeeDee?) or shows up on some damn reality show. Did AJ even graduate from the Crapstone? If not, what skills, exactly, does he have besides handing off a football to people more talented than he is? Maybe he can sell suits for Uncle Tom.

...and right on fucking cue. This really makes me extremely fucking mad, god damn I hate espn.

Auburn football fans won't get a shot at Harvey Updyke after all.
The organizers of a Sept. 29 charity event in Mobile, Alabama, have pulled the plug on having Updyke appear for a pie throw or dunking booth.
Organizers originally believed having Updyke there might give Auburn fans a much-wanted opportunity to get even with him, after he infamously poisoned the beloved oak trees at Toomer's Corner near the Auburn campus during the Tigers' 2010 national championship season.
But Updyke's appearance was canceled Thursday after former Alabama quarterback AJ McCarron's mother, Dee Dee Bonner, and wife Katherine received death threats and other ugly messages on social media.
"It seems to be taking away from the primary purpose, which is raising awareness for children's cancer," Bonner said. "We don't want to take away from the focus. We needed to get away from it." Really...really you stupid bitch, you should have never invited him to begin with.
The event is to honor John Oliver, a boy from the Mobile area who died from cancer in July. The money raised will benefit Roses From Linda, a nonprofit organization that helps cover transportation costs so family members can visit terminally ill loved ones, as well as children's cancer research.
"I think Mr. Updyke's heart was in the right place with what he wanted to do, but I think too many people are still upset about what he did and haven't gotten over it," Bonner said. "I didn't approve of what he did, but I think he really wanted to help."
Bonner said McCarron wasn't involved in organizing the event but brought Oliver's plight to her attention when the boy was sick and wanted to help. Bonner is helping to organize the event with T.J. Hodges, an Alabama fan and founder of Roses From Linda.
"We want to focus on the real heroes, which are these children fighting for their lives and their families," Bonner said.
Updyke, a former Texas state trooper, was arrested in February 2011 after a man calling himself "Al from Dadeville" phoned Paul Finebaum's radio show and boasted of pouring herbicide around the 130-year-old oak trees following Auburn's win over rival Alabama in the 2010 Iron Bowl. The caller signed off Finebaum's radio show by saying, "Roll Damn Tide."
Updyke pleaded guilty in March 2013 to one count of unlawful damage of an animal or crop facility. He was sentenced to six months in jail and served 76 days after being credited for 104 days of time already served.
Updyke, who now lives in Albany, Louisiana, also was sentenced to five years of probation and banned from attending any college sporting event for the rest of his life. In addition, he is prohibited from stepping foot on the Auburn campus again. A judge ordered Updyke to pay nearly $800,000 in restitution to Auburn University.
Bonner said she hopes fans of Auburn and Alabama will come together to help the cause.
"Cancer doesn't care what team you root for," she said.
