No problem. This is from a 2007 article in the AU alumni magazine about why the trees were dying.
quote:
It could have been a change in the traffic lights, a deliberate move to improve safety, or just a natural migration. Whatever the reason, the year 1989 might have marked the fan's move from rolling the intersection traffic lights after away games to rolling the oaks after every victory.
you forgot the following part of the story:
"No one can really say whether the '89 Iron Bowl actually represented the permanent move from rolling the intersection to rolling the trees, but it does make a good story."

You forgot the part of the story where this came from an '87 grad, meaning it did not happen before 1989, and that your quote means it became a regular event afterwards.
The trees are not some part of some long standing tradition or ritual. Until two decades ago, they were just bystanders. America was engrossed by Seinfeld when that tradition started.
Let me guess, you think that "Flagship" is a truly historic designation for Arkansas? amirite?
