The final rolling of the Toomer's Oaks during Saturday's A Day celebration. Today the trees were removed, and the revamping of the corner begun.
Harvey Updike (may he ever burn in Bammer Hell!) thought he'd strike a blow for Bammeration when he poisoned the trees. What he did was to (a) prove himself an idiot, and scum (b) show the world what kinds of people Bammers are and (c) bring the Auburn family together as never before. And, it showed us that there are a few decent Bama fans out there. Not many ('cause they're, well, Bammers), but a few, and we cherish them.
The original oaks are now gone. The Auburn Spirit hasn't even been dinged. In a few years, new oaks will rise over the Gates of Auburn once more, strong and proud...and occasionally covered in toilet paper. Because that's how we Tigers roll!
