As I recall, one of Bama's most well known boosters awhile back was Logan Young who found it much more gratifying to be a Bama fan than a Vandy fan where he went to college.

I don't recall that Harvey Updike ever went to any college, but attached himself to Bama because of his needs to "be somebody".


There are serious issues with anyone that obtains their sense of self worth from the on the field performance of 20 year old kids in a football game.

It is a common phenomenon in all entertainment genre from "pop singers", Kardashians, to sports stars. Look at the behavior of those recently arraigned for crimes in the name of fictional characters. At least football teams actually exist.
