There ain't a Crimson Tide Hall of Shame, so I'm declaring a Fail Jail for people who do extremely stupid things to  embarrass themselves, the team they adore and the whole state of Alabama.

Since Mike Price moved out a few years ago, Harvey Updyke, the Toomer's Corner tree poisoner, has had the cell to himself.

Move over Harvey. You have a roommate. You may have seen his work on the Internet. He's known as the Teabagger - not for hs politics, but for what he did to a passed-out LSU fan. I will not post the video here, but it's still up on if you have to witness it for yourselves. It is awful. If I was his roommmate, Harvey, I wouldn't go to sleep until I knew this guy was out cold. You might even consider puttin' a cowbell around his neck. The boy ain't right.

 I don't recommend watching the video. There's nothing nice about somebody demoralizing themselves and smearing the image of their national championship football team and the SEC brotherhood. But it's out there, hanging like a little basket of shame for all to see.

Sorry I can't be more specific or tawdry in the drawing. Or maybe I'm not sorry. Truth is, I work for a family newspaper and I'm competing against the Internet and TV. It's getting harder and harder to match the tackiness of real life. But I promise you, I won't quit trying.

Now, don't go look at the video.
