I know there aren't many 10-10ers from the southeast, so y'all may not know/ care about this, but I'm legitimately upset. I've posted multiple times that I'm a HUGE Auburn football fan. My whole family is. It's something that brings us all together. My three year old niece sleeps with a stuffed Aubie tiger & could sing the entire fight song by the time she was two. Basically, we're a family of alumni & die hards.
One of the oldest & most famous/ exciting traditions for Auburn is "rolling Toomer's corner." When Auburn wins a football game, students take toilet paper & roll these two giant oak trees in the middle of town. The trees are 130+ years old, so they're huge and beautiful, and have been absolutely iconic for generations.
Some unbelievable sixty-two year old redneckass DOUCHEBAG poisoned them. He put some crap in the soil that was WAY more than enough to kill them, and then called a radio station to brag about it. Why did he do it? Well because he's an Alabama fan of course, and Auburn (Bama's biggest rival) beat them in the Iron Bowl this year & went on to win the National Championship.
Are you effing kidding me? This might seem like a silly thing to be sad about, but I am in such a funk about this. We have so many family pictures from my entire life of all of us on Toomer's corner, with the trees, sometimes with the toilet paper, sometimes not. Those trees are a symbol of something that has meant so much to my family & hundreds of thousands of other people for generations. And some crazy old backwoods Bama fan took that away from all future fans for what? And then bragged about it on the radio? I'm sad and really, really angry. ![]()

I work with an advisor that used to coach there and I'm scared to call him. Our first conversation was all football and every time we speak it comes up so I'm afraid to hear his heart broken.
I can't believe this rival has gone this far. I mean, it was bad enough before this incident but now it's just plain sick. The hatred has gone too far.
I'm sorry this history is ruined for all the people with memories of it, and I'm also very sorry that future generations will never be able to experience this.
