For years, the arms of Auburn legend Bill Newton have felt the fingerly affection of many a fan, the flex of his magical muscles pretty much being as close to the blocked punts as one can get.
This weekend’s charity flag footballin’ was no exception.
Even Crimson Tide faithful occasionally require a little tactility with their nostalgia, as seen in this photo Mr. Comer found of Newton (right — Punt, Bama, Punt hat) and former Bama player Gary Britt (left — AAHHHHH), who now makes a living as an Elvis impersonator.
Not that that makes “it” right.
We await your captions.

Paging Auburn Elvis … you are needed at the front desk …
” Gene Simmons played football at UAT?”
best hair in the business hands down.
my caption “so wow you really have been working out Bill, but it has nothing on my magnificent part in my hair”
My hair looks better than your biceps
“You know Bill, my special friends call me Norma. Do you want to be my special friend?”
Sorry, but he has the same haircut as my Aunt Rhonda.
To go with that good hair, here’s part of his bio.
“GaryElvis (his legal first name) … travels to over 30 cities in the U.S. and Canada every year, performing and competing for Elvis fans … His numerous 1st place and top 10 finishes in most of his 200+ major U.S. and Canadian Elvis contests since July, 2000 … He regularly collects non-perishable food and Teddy Bears for needy families, hospitalized children and Alzheimer’s patients at his shows for The Love Me Tender Day Charity Project … graduated from the University of Alabama with a degree in Marketing … has had several careers, including running fast-food restaurants as well as opening, owning and running 4 advertising franchise locations that created over a million dollars of sales/yr.”
Ha! He might not be as cool as yours truly, but I bet he can flat outrun me. Auburn Elvis is more of an endurance man… if you know what I mean.
Britt – “I’m working a show at the Bellagio later. You should come by my dressing room after and we can get all shook up.”
Newton – “Yeah, about that. If you don’t get your hands off of me, I’m gonna shove that pinky ring down your throat.”
“I really want to be the manager Paul, I mean Bill.”
Sooner or (much) later, Bama fans are going to realize that the Bear, like Elvis, isn’t coming back
