roll toomers roll

Somebodys poisoned the waterhole! Well not exactly but they did poison Toomers. We got the email today that Al from Dadeville poisoned the trees with about 60 times the lethal dose of the stuff. The trees are more than likely going to die. Everyone went out tonight and rolled it. And today I have never been more proud to be an Auburn fan. I have also never been more glad that I am not a bama fan. Taping a jersey to a statue is harmless fun. It is what the rivalry is about for Auburn fans. We enjoy arguing about football but at the end of the day, we will be Auburn fans until we die even if we lose every game to bama. Killing trees and putting and entire block of trees is a)illegal and b)not harmless fun. Al took it about 100 steps too far. If I killed Bear Bryant myself then sure kill my tree. However, tape that took 2 seconds to undo and killing trees that were over 130 years old are not the same thing. At Toomer's people have their first kiss, get engaged, and sing the fight song while high fiving friends and strangers. My grandparents brought my parents to Toomer's and my parents brought me and taught me about one of Auburn most cherished traditions. I will never be able to have that now thanks to one idiot. So THANKS Al from Dadeville. I hope you say roll tide to your boyfriends in jail.

Auburn is much more than a football game. It is much more than winning and losing. It is a spirit. It is an attitude. It is a way of looking at life and at one another. It is, almost, a way of living. Unless you have experienced it, you will never know what it is; you will never understand it. Once you have experienced it, you will never be the same. War Eagle. I believe in Auburn and love it. Roll Toomers Roll.
