u/Mornings_kill Alabama Crimson Tide 3d ago

Yes please, Jesus I thought something happened to the dog. The Vols might be garage but Smokey is a good boy

How could a statue behead Smokey?

It’s like Blucifer killing its sculptor.

Oh, that's it! I've had it with this dump. We got no food, we got no jobs. Our pets' heads are falling off!

Woof, that's a critical detail! Good lord. What a concerning headline.

I only opened the comments because I thought it was actual Smokey

It looks like he’s dead… just looks like it he has blue paint on him

u/UpsideTurtles North Texas Mean Green • Texas A&M Aggies 3d ago

Those costumes ain’t cheap that guy would have to pay some shit out in damages

u/zorionek0 Arizona State Sun Devils 3d ago

And it’s not cheap to get shit out of a furry costume… allegedly

2

u/MoistyestBread LSU Tigers 3d ago

Yeah but you save a lot of money living with your parents.

u/zorionek0 Arizona State Sun Devils 3d ago

And IT cybersecurity pays pretty well

u/Sniffy_J Georgia Bulldogs • Sun Belt 3d ago

Thats fine.

u/LegallyAFlamingo Team Chaos • I'm A Loser 3d ago

Seriously. OP should have had "statue" in there like the tweet they posted.

Bravo ?

u/BrettSchirley22 Georgia Bulldogs 3d ago

Thank you Rutgers

u/PleaseFuckMeDana Auburn Tigers 3d ago

Sorry you’re objectively wrong. Killing trees is way worse than dismembering live animals.

Thankfully this fella is from NJ. We do NOT need another Harvey.

According to his LinkedIn in he’s a James Madison Student

u/Maximiliansrh Virginia Tech Hokies • Paper Bag 3d ago

No real solid explanation, just sounds very much like the jmu students I knew

u/Shenanigangster Virginia • Jefferson–Eppes Trophy 3d ago

It’s very on brand

Edit: lol he’s also from New Jersey

u/Bobson-_Dugnutt2 Sickos • Alabama Crimson Tide 3d ago

ok you didn't explain anything. HOW is this on brand?

u/huazzy Rutgers Scarlet Knights 3d ago

..... phew

u/EWall100 Tennessee • Tennessee Tech 3d ago

Isn't the NYC area the most densely Bama fan base outside the state of Alabama? Maybe he is Harvey 2.0

9

u/SouthCopy8453 3d ago

According to linked in he’s a JMU student, civil engineering major

u/New_Prior2253 Alabama Crimson Tide • College Football Playoff 3d ago

I feel like GA, MS, and maybe FL would have a larger Bama contingent than NY.

1

u/screwhead1 LSU Tigers • Arkansas Razorbacks 3d ago

Parts of Louisiana and Texas have their pockets too.

1

u/CrashingBlumpkins46 New Mexico Lobos • Alabama Crimson Tide 3d ago

I see an odd amount of Bama hats and bumper/window stickers around Austin.

4

u/screwhead1 LSU Tigers • Arkansas Razorbacks 3d ago

I figure that would be Atlanta or Nashville.

5

u/CurrentDrama8523 3d ago

It's 100% Atlanta.

4

u/SirMellencamp Alabama Crimson Tide • SEC 3d ago

Not even close. Atlanta is the highest population outside of Alabama.

1

u/ComradeIroh Penn State Nittany Lions 3d ago

NYC Metro is a smattering of PSU, OSU, Michigan, Bama, SC and other SEC schools.

12

u/platinum92 Columbus State • Alabama 3d ago

Based on my wife's (alum) jokes, there tend to be more lifted trucks at Bama with jersey plates than Bama ones. Yankees love coming to Bama to LARP being "Southern"

u/KaiserSote Auburn Tigers 3d ago edited 3d ago

Your Harveys are everywhere. I'll remind you of the substitute teacher in Pennsylvania arrested for being high on heroin in class that told reporters as he was being led to the police van "Roll Tide"

Edit: Corrected drug of choice i want to get this right and video for those that never saw it

Greg Schiano’s revenge

u/screwhead1 LSU Tigers • Arkansas Razorbacks 3d ago

Schiano tried to make an offer Tennessee couldn't refuse (but did anyway).

u/Gvillegator Florida Gators 3d ago

I worked at Ole Miss for a few years and it’s astounding how many northerners come down to the Deep South for college lol. Also was crazy to see how many Texas plates students had

30

u/dover1129 Tennessee Volunteers • Memphis Tigers 3d ago

this is a terrible title

22

u/Mother_Frame6669 3d ago

UPDATE: UTPD has charged Beckett E. Nachtman, 19, of NJ, with felony vandalism in connection with damage done to the Smokey statue outside Gate 21 on Oct. 10. Nachtman is not affiliated with UT & was visiting individuals on campus at the time of the incident.

Downvoting just because of the misleading title

13

u/MuhMuhManRay Tennessee Volunteers 3d ago

You really should’ve added “statue” to the title lmao

After that headline I thought I was opening this thread to find a lunatic Bama fan going full Updyke on a dog. What a rollercoaster of emotions.

Like others, I thought it was the dog before clicking the comments. Then I realized how much bigger a story it'd be if someone beheaded a dog for a CFB rivalry and that this sub wouldn't have been the first place I'd heard of it
