RIP Rod Bramblett

UPDATED: 'Voice of the Auburn Tigers' Rod Bramblett, wife both killed after tragic car accident

 

Just saw this on Twitter. RIP indeed. An appreciation:

Auburn is speechless: The voice of the Tigers has died

 

Methinks the Brambletts were not wearing seatbelts. I hope I am wrong in that assumption.

 

At least each of Arkansas' former voices didn't kill their wives: Bud Campbell in 1974 and Paul Eells in 2006. They just managed to kill themselves.

 

Must be nice to have a family with money. Kid got two tickets and a reckless driving charge after bonding out from the crash. Flunked three different alcohol screens just last month.

Teen granted youthful offender status in deaths of Auburn announcer Rod Bramblett, wife Paula

 

Fucking Alabama. If he had killed Eli Gold they'd have hung him beside the road.

 

This was in Lee County, so I don’t think it’s a football thing. But this kid reeks of privilege:

Enrolled in a seg academy.
Driving a nice Jeep at 16.
Family hires one of the state’s most prominent criminal defense attorneys.
2-3 months of in-patient rehab in Nashville. (Good luck getting that covered by a run of the mill insurance plan.)

 

Un-effing-believeable. Does he play golf too? [/crossthread]

 

Good thing for this snotnosed kid that I'm not in charge of the justice system. As an advocate for cruel and/or unusual punishment when it is warranted, I would have him hanged, drawn and quartered right there at Toomer's Corner.
