The reasoning behind Harvey Updyke’s original not guilty plea in the case of the Toomer’s Oaks poisoning? Having too much Bama in him amounted to a “a mental disease or defect.”
Now, after surrendering to the Lee County Sheriff’s Department this morning—his bond was revoked due to an incident with a lawnmower in Louisiana—Updyke will undergo psychiatric evaluations at the Taylor-Hardin Secure Medical Facility in Tuscaloosa, a hospital 2.9 miles away from Bryant-Denny Stadium.
Irony itself is rolling the Toomer’s Oaks.

No, no…this is a dream come true for ol’ Harvey. He’s in his promised land.
Maybe they will decide to keep him 🙂
Man, don’t they know that Bama football drove the man crazy to begin with?
Hopefully Nurse Ratched will send him upstairs for a little electroshock treatment and a lobotomy.
