[CFB] POS Alabama fan poisons the trees at Toomers Corner in Auburn!!!!
 

The FBI is now involved because this douchebag Alabama fan used hazardous materials to poison them with.

After poisoning the trees, he waited several weeks to report he did it so that Auburn couldn't save the trees. He reported he did it so he would get credit for destroying Auburns tradition of rolling Toomers Corner.

He called in to the The Paul Finebaum Show to announce what he had done. There is an audio link to the announcement on The Finebaum Show in the main link to the news article below.

His reason for doing it? He claimed to see on the internet where someone said when Bear Bryant died some Auburn students rolled Toomers Corner in celebration of his death. WHICH NEVER HAPPENED!

These Oak trees that line the Toomers Corner entrance to Auburn University are hundreds of years old.

The Horticulture Dept. at Auburn started taking soil sample immediately upon hearing of the poisoning. The results came in today and the trees were in fact, poisoned, and it is too late to save the trees.

The ages old tradition of rolling Toomers Corner after Auburn wins may well comes to an end bacause of a douchebag Alabama fan. Roll F'king Tide...:rolleyes:

I want this mother fecker hanged from a gallows built from the very trees that he poisoned. :mad:

While the guy is a first rank azzhole for doing that, the loss of a grand tradition like toilet papering trees at a drugstore seems like a pretty low wattage event.


Take some of the money that was never paid to Cam Newton's Dad and put in new dirt, trees and the extra large pack of megaroll Charmin.

Yeah, I guess not everyone's college traditions are as intellectual and awesome as yours were.

Spike 80DF doesn't kill trees. People with Spike 80DF kill trees.

Dupe !

That's just real chickenshit.

I have several good friends that are Auburn grads and one played ball there.

This is one of the most cowardly acts of vandalism I've ever heard of.

Bad karma for the Tide...

Just wow. some people are the sux.

The place is called Toomers? :rofl:


Sorry about your tradition.

I'm a bama fan and that is just about as low down and despicable as you can get. I hope the Bama fans stand up against this assclown

So lame. What a POS. :rolleyes:

You really think being a bama fan is as low down and despicable as you can get? Come on, don't be so hard on yourself. :cheers:

While I rejoice in ridiculing certain Aubie fans and have made jokes about rolling those trees, this is bullshit.

No class. Makes it tough for the true football fans that understand the meaning of good sportsmanship. Very embarrassing.:sadangel:

Bama fan---Auburn will never beat Saban. Auburn will never win SEC. Auburn will never win National Title. Auburn will never out recruit Saban.

Yes, and bammer fans can counter with firewood when you continue to post the pic of the Bear's skeleton. (couldn't get the pic to post, but you know the one) :leaving:

That was a truly a chickenshit maneuver. I'm glad the tide fans are coming out and condemning the action.

Fail. Just like your limp wristed team.

[quote=Blademaker;150589]Just string his azz up in the tree before it is dead... he'll be dead before the trees. :)

Then bury him in an Auburn jersey.

I must admit, I respect the way Alabama officials have handled it and been sure to distance themselves from this yahoo. BUT, his actions will become the stereotypical standard of an SEC, in particular, Alabama fan.

Everybody loses.

He's got that kind of face I wanna smash the F*** in with my fists followed by a shovel.

What a dumbazz to do something like this in the first place...then to call in to a sports talk show and brag about it ?

I love football but just never understood people going to extremes like some fans do with other teams and their fans.

Sure...some fans can be total jerks and want to get in your face and if they go too far...ok...knock their teeth out :rofl: but that doesn't mean I want to hurt or hate all of their fans...just the azzhat that wanted to take it up a notch or three and won't go away. :D

Ok...just kidding about knocking their teeth out...a simple blackeye or faceplant on the pavement will usually suffice. :lol:

So, you are saying you want him to blow you and you want to bang him in the ass??

Back to the Thread Topic......
 

An idiot poisoning trees is not a new idea. Texas had it's own brush with stupid, in Austin, when a guy tried to kill the "Treaty Oak" years back.

While not the worst thing someone could do (after all, these are trees, not people), these tree poisoning folks have some issues. If they wanted to be attention whores, why not do it on the internet, rather than destroying things that many folks cherish? Our tree in Austin has a storied history, and apparently, the trees in Alabama have significance for folks around there, too.


Treaty Oak (Austin, Texas)From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia:

The Treaty Oak, a once-majestic Southern live oak in Austin, Texas, is the last surviving member of the Council Oaks, a grove of 14 trees that served as a sacred meeting place for Comanche and Tonkawa Tribes. Forestry experts estimate the Treaty Oak to be about 500 years old and, before its vandalism in 1989, the tree's branches had a spread of 127 feet. The tree is located in Treaty Oak Park, on Baylor Street between 5th and 6th Streets.

[edit] History and legends[edit] LegendsA Native American legend holds that the Council Oaks were a location for the launching of war and peace parties. Legends also hold that women of the Tejas tribe would drink a tea made from honey and the acorns of the oaks to ensure the safety of warriors in battle [2].

According to popular local folklore and the inscription on the plaque at the tree's base, in the 1830s, Stephen F. Austin, the leader of the Austin Colony, met local Native Americans in the grove to negotiate and sign Texas' first boundary treaty after two children and a local judge had been killed in raids. No historical documentation exists to support this event actually taking place. Folklore also holds that Sam Houston rested beneath the Treaty Oak after his expulsion from the Governor's office at the start of Texas' involvement in the American Civil War [1].

[edit] HistoryThe Council Oaks fell victim to neglect and Austin's development. By 1927, only one of the original 14 trees remained. The American Forestry Association proclaimed the tree as the most perfect specimen of a North American tree, and inducted the Treaty Oak into its Hall of Fame in Washington, D.C.

Since the 1880s, the tree had been privately owned by the Caldwell family in Austin. Because she could no longer afford to pay property taxes on the land, in 1926 the widow of W. H. Caldwell offered the land for sale for $7,000. While local historical groups urged the Texas Legislature to buy the land, no funds were appropriated. In 1937, the City of Austin purchased the land for $1,000 and installed a plaque honoring the tree's role in Texas history.

[edit] Poisoning and recoveryIn 1989, in an act of deliberate vandalism, the tree was poisoned with the powerful hardwood-herbicide, Velpar. Lab tests showed the quantity of herbicide used would have been sufficient to kill 100 trees.[1] The incident sparked community outrage, national news reports, and a torrent of home-made "Get Well" cards from children that were displayed on the fence around the park. Texas industrialist and former Reform Party candidate for U.S. President, Ross Perot wrote a 'blank check' to fund efforts to save the tree.[2] DuPont, the herbicide manufacturer, established a $10,000 reward to capture the poisoner. The vandal, Paul Cullen, was apprehended after reportedly bragging about poisoning the tree as a means of casting a spell.[3] Cullen was convicted of felony criminal mischief and sentenced to serve nine years in prison.

The intensive efforts to save the Treaty Oak included applications of sugar to the root zone, replacement of soil around its roots and the installation of a system to mist the tree with spring water. Although arborists expected the tree to die, the Treaty Oak survived. However, almost two-thirds of the tree died and more than half of its crown had to be pruned.

[edit] TodayIn 1997, the Treaty Oak produced its first crop of acorns since the vandalism. City workers gathered and germinated the acorns, distributing the seedlings throughout Texas and other states.[4] Today the tree is a thriving, but lopsided reminder of its once-grand form. Many Texans see the Treaty Oak today as a symbol of strength and endurance. In January 2009 the Texas chapter of the International Society of Arboriculture teamed up with the Austin Parks and Recreation Department to do maintenance pruning on the Treaty Oak.

Not hating at all. Just not a fan of corn dog cologne. :bilmem:
