A sad ping. I’m thinking, since I don’t know the affiliation of the lowlife scum who did this (taking his frustrations out on a tree!), we should not only replant with Toomer’s seedlings, we should send two seedlings to each of our SEC “sister” schools, so they can share our remembrance, too.
The typical bama posters on a sports site I go to are joking about it. This is why I loathe bama fans. They are so kooky. A few posters are saying that a bama fan posted on several websites after the BCS game that he had done this. I sure hope they find him and let the AU fans have a go with him. This is beyond disgusting!
Similar thing occured in Austin. The Treaty Oak was the legend has it was where the treaty ending the Texas war for independence was signed, and about 10 years ago someone poisoned it. He was caught & convicted, but there is little left of that magnificent old tree.
I always thought being a Bammer fan was akin to radical fundamentalist religion capable of heinous acts of terrorism. I guess we will have to retaliate and blow up the Denney Chimes tower. . . not that I am advocating that . . . idiot jerks!
How sad and the idiot who has done this needs to have the same thing done with him with cyanide.
Terrible!!
Oh no.
Very sad.
This sickens the living hell out of me. Fury to the sick Bammers that think this is funny. Low life scum. What a sick example of human life.
They need to use the information from his call to the radio station to find this cretin, and bring charges. Lots of them.
SEC Bump
Tatt
:o(
We will replant, we will recover and we will roll again!
WAR EAGLE!
Yesterday I heard Finebaum’s program and he played the tape several times. That guy was just filled with hate.
I started to Auburn before they were rolling the trees, but we still ran to Toomer’s to celebrate school victories that were not played at home. I lived in Alumni Hall my Freshman yesr. It is the building closest to J&M’s on College. I remember looking out of my window in ‘57 and watching the students snake dancing in the street. I don’t remember why the celebration but it was probably because of the National Championship. College was completely filled with students.
My father, husband, children, sister, in-laws went to Auburn and all have celebrated at Toomer’s. We are just sick.
This is a crime and not a prank. Whoever did this needs to spend some time in prison with Bubba.
Over past year there have been a number of stories about historic trees in this country and from around the world being destroyed or attacked. Is there some sort of pattern developing?
