Where have you been? This was national news. The guy who "allegedly" did it has been on TV many times since.

My wife and I were wondering this yesterday. What an asshole b

They're TREES, people. Let's keep it in perspective.

True. But it's a fucking football game. People need to check their emotions.

Really? Wow. Follow current events much?

This is the guy that did it. He called into the Paul Finebaum show under an assumed named and said he poisoned the trees. He was tracked down shortly after the call. He ended his call by saying "Roll Damm Tide".

They are a more advanced life form than the guy who poisoned them.

Ahhhh...but they're somebody ELSE's trees! That's the key. It's not the trees themselves. It's that those trees were icons to the Auburn community.

Like I have an oak tree in my backyard. Shortly after my grandfather died I was walking around his property...he was a subsistence farmer with 40 acres and I had many fond memories of spending time there doing farm things...and I pulled up a little oak sprout about two or three inches tall. Just a couple of little leaves.

Now it's an oak tree maybe 20 to 25 feet tall in my backyard. And if somebody poisoned it I'd be pissed because it's MY oak tree and where I got it makes it special to me.

Even though some day I may cut it down myself because I think it's a water oak and if it is that means it'll blow down if a hurricane comes. Still need to pull a leaf off and have somebody identify it. Actually when I pulled it out of my grandfather's ground I thought it was going to be a live oak because it was underneath his big live oak tree.
