re: Amid threats of violence, Bama fans obtain petition to roll Toomer's Corner

Wonder what would happen if Harvey led the charge and threw a 40 yd tp bomb deep in the trees?

I think he'd be arrested on the spot. I don't think he's allowed to be on the Auburn Campus.

It is trivial, asinine and petty...and it is the stuff of bitter rivalries and why we love SEC football.

Truth.

The Harvey thing has no argument in this, for or against as long as fans are still allowed to roll them. It's mocking the tradition, just as Auburn did so to Bama singing RammerJammer in BDS after winning.

bullshite, and there is no way you typed this with a straight face. Even though I know damn well you would never admit it. The Harvey Updyke thing has everything to do with it. The game has been played 11 times on Auburn's campus before this, and they just get the idea to apply for a permit to roll the trees this year? Less than a year after he poisoned them, and you're really gonna argue this has nothing to do with Harvey?

We have the overall numbers. Auburn probably has more gingers. Push.

It's very different considering the circumstances around those trees, and you damn well know it.

Yeah, because their has never been an outcry about us threatening to roll that termite bait before. This is the first year yall went terrorist crazy over the threat of rolling a damn tree before.


If you are gonna have a second rate, second class tradition like roll a tree, expect rival fanbases to threaten to roll it.

We have a right under the US Constitution to peaceably assemble and we have the right of free expression. We don't feel that public officials--be they University or local law enforcement--have the right or the authority to prevent our demonstration. We are not violent and we don't intend to start any trouble. We just want to express our joy and satisfaction after the game, should our team be victorious."

Please let them assemble on College & University.


I'd love to seem them get run over.



*If it hasn't been brought up, Toomers Corner is at the intersection of College & Magnolia.

College & University is a 4 lane Highway intersection.

I think its about time to retire the ODK "Sportsmanship" Award.

It has no place here.

This is much ado about nothing (i.e., nothing is going to happen, this has been brought up before, plus it's just some toilet paper anyway). I do mean MUCH ado (this thread has taken off like a bullet).

Alabama / Auburn is simply the best rivalry in college football.

Now, STFU.
