If they're smart. Since they're going to die, if they were smart, they would go ahead and cut them down, make plaques out of the wood, numbered, with the Au Creed burned into them with an Au medallion commemorating the 2010 NC and clear coated. The money making opportunity from this would be astronomical, considering what fans would be willing to pay for a plaque from the original Toomer's corner tree and with the addition of it celebrating the NC this year.

And if Bama had a pair they'd buy them all incognito and shock everyone by burning them before next year's Iron Bowl

they need to get Morris Day and the Time down to the campus and adopt his song "Oak Tree" as the battle cry!

I could definately see that happening.

Also, a piece of wood above the locker rooms door, kinda like the "Win" bar, but with "May Toomer be with you" or something else on it.

Bama's got the Fail Room for visiting teams, they could put it over their visitors and call it The Toom.

Wooden clocks would be a bit ironic.

I'd buy a cord if they split it and stack it.

Did you hold a press conference and introduce the chainsaw as the killer?

We can't make too much fun, though...considering we had the same Wal-Mart freak show after our NC!
