Harvey Updyke, a University of Alabama football fan who made national news when he poisoned the oak trees at Auburn University nearly a decade ago, died Thursday. He was 71.

Updyke’s son, Bear Updyke , told AL.com that his father died of natural causes in Louisana.

In 2011, Harvey Updyke called into Paul Finebaum’s radio show and claimed he had poisoned Auburn’s iconic trees, exacting revenge for the Tigers’ upset victory against the Crimson Tide the previous November.

The last Iron Bowl he saw was a Bama loss.

So does his family have to repay the rest of the damages to Auburn? Updyke only paid a small fraction of the damages to Auburn.

Are we going to get updated on all of Alabama’s trash fan base that makes the news? What about teabag guy? Or the lady who shot her friend because “she didn’t take the loss serious enough”? This was an embarrassment to the University of Alabama when it happened and it isn’t newsworthy now.
