Recent news about one the SEC's most important traditions.

AUBURN, Alabama -- Auburn University announced today the approval of the second phase of its plans to renovate Samford Park and replace the iconic Auburn oaks in early 2015. The Auburn University Board of Trustees approved the plans, which call for 30 live oak trees to be planted along a new brick walkway that will connect Samford Hall to Toomer's Corner. The trees will be 15 feet tall and were grown from acorns taken from the Auburn Oaks 12 years ago. In addition, two large live oaks, approximately 35 feet tall with a 30-foot spread, will be planted at the College Street and Magnolia Avenue intersection on Feb. 16, 2015, completing the first phase of the project. Rolling of the new trees will not be allowed for at least a year while the trees acclimate to their new environment and establish roots.

Your posts annoy me to no end, but...congratulations to Auburn and this fans for moving ahead with re-planting the trees. You drive me crazy but respect your traditions and the eagle coming into the stadium never fails to get me...maybe the best tradition in all sports.

Probably should have just left this on the AU board. Getting the obvious troll responses.
