I am sure many of you heard about the insane Alabama Fan "bammer" that poisoned the Toomer's Corner Oak Trees on Auburn University's campus after Alabama blew a 24 point lead against Auburn back in November. Auburn fans throw rolls of toilet paper into these trees after a home game win at Auburn, it is a 50 year old Auburn tradition. I have made fun of this tradition in the past but feel really bad for them. I think it was really unfortunate that some one would do something like this. Recent toxicology reports have said that Auburn University is going to have to totally excavate the area the two trees are in now to be able to plant anything. This recent thoughtless act just shows how bitter our In-State rivalry can be. The guy who did it is a retired Texas State Trooper, he does not represent The University of Alabama in any way but for being a fringe lunatic fan.
