Doesn't explain a large amount of them wanting Updyke dead or in prison for life.
I'm not defending anyone who wants him dead at all. Or even life in prison. But what the dude did was low-down and unnecessary.
I grew up in Auburn. I've been going to Auburn games since before I can remember. Rolling the oaks afterward is such an important part of the Auburn football tradition to me that I absolutely hate the fact that I won't be able to take my kids there when I start a family, that they won't be experiencing the same bit of Auburn history and tradition that I was able to experience for the first 19 years of my life.
Y'all can rag on it all y'all want about them "just being trees" or how rolling them is "childish", I don't care. But apparently asking for the respect for us to go about our post-game celebrations as we will is too much to ask for in this backwards, hick-filled state.

I'll play along.
Someone poisoning the hedges would be really bad. If someone killed or harmed Uga, I would call for scorched earth retaliation on the school of the perpetrator.

1920's or so. A lot of lives were saved that day.

How will they not be able to do it? I thought they were replacing them.

The fact that it was an Alabama fan that poisoned the trees and was proud of it, is what made Auburn so pissed/emotional. Had it just been some random prick, or had the trees died on their own it wouldn't have been the three ring circus story that it became.

Won't be the same. It may be silly to other fan bases but it was a great tradition that tied generations of fans together.

That is true. If they were blown over and replaced, it wouldn't bother them.

NOT the same exercise. a live animal is NOT the same.
and to the appropriate corresponding post above... yes, i am guilty for saying "they're just trees.." BUT, i do understand there IS some level of sentimental value to them. same as any landmark on UA's campus.
i get it... but what i'm saying is that auburn fans have thoroughly enjoyed playing martyr role.
i'm tired of placating all of these auburn fans that have allowed their emotions to take over OR are even faking it.
let's alllllllllllll just get the hell over it and be thankful it was a single man's single action. i realize ESPN has to make a story in the off-season and that's fine... whatever. let's just make a movement on this forum to put our big boy pants on and move a step forward!
k, i gotta go get some takeout. y'all enjoy figuring this out.

I'll agree with that to an extent.
It certainly doesn't help that he went on Finebaum after he had been charged and apologized to "Bama Nation" for what he had done to them.

He should have agreed with it. Takes killing a live animal to get the same reaction.

I'd be pretty fricking pissed if a tshirt fan from Texas poisoned the Century Tree. I certainly wouldn't cry about it but I would definitely want the guy in jail.

I would be upset if someone burned down the Bryant Denny Museum with all our history, film, and trophies.

i'm tired of placating all of these auburn fans.
