Bodda getta, indeed.
It’s certainly possible that it’s (supposedly) just a random wardrobe decision, like the recent bomb dropped on the blAUgosphere by Jason Segel’s faux-vintage on How I Met Your Mother. But somehow I don’t think so. Even if I didn’t swear that the guy with the mustache to his left was Bill Alvis (Spade, class of ’74)… just look at his face. He knows. And look at the positioning – near Terry Bradshaw and perfectly framed by the eye-drawing cleavage of Lamborghini girls’ Tara Buckman and Adrienne Barbeau…
No, that’s deliberate. That’s an Auburn man.
Anyone have any idea who?

i remember the son of james garner in the movie tank, who i think was played by c. thomas howell, had an auburn poster/plaque/something on his bedroom wall in one scene. i saw that in the theater with my old man in florence, alabama, which is definitely tide country, and a lot of those old homers groaned when they saw it.
or, as the bama fans would say, when they seen it.
Ha! Check it out. It is listed in the “pop culture” section of the Auburn University wikipedia entry:
“In the 1984 Lorimar movie Tank, which starred James Garner and C. Thomas Howell, an Auburn plaque is mounted on the wall of William’s (Howell) bedroom. The movie was filmed, in part, at Fort Benning in Columbus, Georgia, which is about 45 minutes from Auburn.”

I don’t think that is Roy Tatum who played at AU in 65/68 and later worked as a stand in for Reynolds and had small parts in all of his movies. He looked like Reynolds twin except he was 7 inches taller.
This site just made my week! I have been seeking around for data on this. I’m glad now that I ran across this webpage. Woohoo!
All I see are two hotties in zippered tops. What Auburn T-shirt?
