How about "The Union Tree"?

Sean Hannity had the president of the University of Auburn college republicans on to talk about this on his radio show yesterday (Tues Dec. 6th).
My suggestion sent to Laura, president of the Auburn college Republicans:
"How about getting you and your College Republicans together to start the first annual Auburn University Christmas walk celebration. You can sing Christmas carols, make 'Merry Christmas' related signs, etc.
If you publicize this on the campus and with the local media I'm willing to bet that you will get an excellent turnout. This could be the start of a tradition
that will be carried on far into the future by those fine students who attend Auburn in the future."
They could just call it "The Tree".
Or "That Thing"
Or "It"

Go to class !!
Well, their teams are the Tigers but they call them the "War Eagles"...so they have a history of name issues there.
How about "The Incredibly Tall, Green Thingee."
That would be AUBURN UNIVERSITY, not the University of Auburn. Thank you very much!
ConservativeBamaFan,
With Auburn winning four in a row, I just have one thing to say: FEAR THE THUMB! :) Merry Christmas!
That's awesome, WAR EAGLE!
I received an email from Auburn one day this week. It will be called a Christmas Tree next year. I forgot who sent it.
Not to be picky--but most of this article is about the University of Alabama. The Ferguson center, the Crimson and White, the capstone--all relate to Alabama, not Auburn.
Your headline is a bit misleading. UA is the University of Alabama. Whenever UA or "The University" is mentioned, the author is referring to the University of Alabama. The article references Auburn University in one paragraph only.
Well Bama is called the Crimson Tide, but their mascot is an elephant. What's up with that?
That took longer than expected.
And Stanford is The Cardinal, but their mascot is a tree.
Jeremiah 10:2-4
"Thus saith the Lord, Learn not the way of the heathen.... For the customs of the people are vain: for one cutteth a tree out of the forest, the work of the hands of the workman, with the axe. They deck it with silver and with gold; they fasten it with nails and with hammers, that it move not."
