Apparently Roy Adams aka TennStud has passed away.

He was an odd character for sure but it was entertaining watching him rile up the Bama folks.

For those too young to remember, he was a big Vol booster and helped get Alabama on probation for buying Albert Means back around '99 or 2000.

I have to admit when I first read the name I thought he was a pro wrestler.

Hard to believe it's been 15 years since all that went down. The SEC learned a lot from that scandal about how to cover your tracks.

For anybody not around during that time, just try to imagine a life with no Facebook, Twitter or even texting. All you had was a sweet *** Nokia 5110 and you had to walk up hill both ways to skool.

I had no idea he was born in batesville, ms. I guess the rebs are his second favorite team and that explains why so many former rebel players are mentioned as being associated with him.

Noticed the picture of him with The Kang......

I remember hearing an interview with Terry Bowden when that was going on. He had been fired from Auburn and was out of coaching. He all but came right out and said he was shocked because $300,000 was way more than the going rate for a defensive lineman.

"Adams has been called The Great Gatsby of college sports because of the festivities." Um, no. Especially not when considering this, "On the front door, a poster urges his guests to adhere to a five-drink limit."

Ok so then he's more of a Responsible Thrifty Gatsby
