An Alabama fan who poisoned Toomer’s Oak Trees at Auburn University opened up about why he did it, saying he just doesn't like the Crimson Tide's biggest rival.
Harvey Updyke, Jr. poisoned the 80-year-old trees in 2011 and was eventually busted after he called into the Paul Finebaum radio show admitting the crime. He also left a phone message to an Auburn professor saying he knew who poisoned the tree.
Updyke Jr. pleaded guilty to a Class C felony of criminal damage of an agricultural facility, was ordered to serve at least six months in jail, spend five years on supervised probation and ordered to pay $800,000 in restitution.

My Alabama cousin has two daughters. One was attending Crimson Tide. The other was enrolled at Auburn. Wow.
Kinda like one kid at Texas. The other at A&M.
BTTT. The punk that killed those trees should be tied to one. Then whipped.
Some people take sports waaaay too seriously.
It’s just a game............................
Typical inbred Bama fan. Someone really should have beaten him senseless for this.
I’m not a tree hugger but I love the beauty of old growth trees. To kill them over something so petty is disgraceful and indicates there is something malignant in this man’s mind.
bammer fans - always classy...
The worst die hard fans are almost always some local retard that didn’t even go to the school.
Next up for the “murderous 80 yr old,” tree lovers should force him to view an actual abortion, which is about killing the living humans!

Oops, correction: the murderous tree killer was not 80, the trees were!
Should be banned from Alabama as well.
That is so very true here in North Carolina. The vast majority of U*NC Tar Heel fans are bandwagon fans of those cheaters. I suspect many of those mouth-breathers didn't even get a GED.
They are some of the most insufferable and thin-skinned fans of any sport in this country.
What a worthless POS. Probably inbred.

But it is a large revenue producer across many specturms.
Leave it to ol’ Scooby to get to the bottom of a case that was already closed years ago. What’s his next story? Discovering who killed Medgar Evers? This story is as pointless as the act which spawned it.
He should be tied to a stake and burned with what is left of the trees. He says he wants to be hated.
Tribalism exists it is in OUR DNA....
If a tribe doesn’t exist we will create them in the form of Sports teams etc....
Man was being tribal....
And those liberals who laugh at this guy who killed the tree want to import people who COME FROM TRIBAL SOCIETIES and are INHERENTLY MORE TRIBAL than THIS JACKASS???
MADNESS!!!
