Here's an idea.
Lets just get a bunch of alabama fans and auburn fans and let them meet up in a central located lake.
Let them get in their bass boats and attach huge arse jousting poles to the fronts of the boats.
Let em have at it.

My question in that regard was which is worse, pissing on the grave of a beloved coach of a fanbase or taking away the opportunity to roll a tree.


The tree's are not just something to "roll", they are symbols for Auburn people of their university. They reside at the main entrance to campus, as they have for 130 years.

Pissing on Coach Bryant's grave is stupid and disrespectful. I personally don't know of any Auburn person that has claimed (not counting the ones that do it on internet message boards) or actually done this.

Both of these acts show a lack of character and respect to each side, trying to say which is "worse" is pointless. The tree's and Coach Bryant's grave are emotional touchstones for both sides for different reasons. They should both be respected.

Well, one has been dead for 30 years, died of natural causes, and talked shite about auburn. The other was still living, never hurt a soul, and couldn't talk. One was a drunk woman beater, the other was a place to hold celebrations. One beat the shite out of kids and deprived them of water. The other let's kids climb all over it and loves water. Pissing on a grave has no damage. Poisioning a tree, one that is beloved by so many generations of auburn fans, and has been the celebration spot of every auburn victory since the 50s, is totally different.

But, IF the urination stories about Auburn fans are indeed TRUE, that is as big of a deal.


And my point is there is no proof it has ever happened.

This is why the folks of your ilk are getting no sympathy. And why folks like Midnite, Aucatfish and Villager and such do.

Whats worse? Take out the names and stuff. If somebody pisses on the grave of one of my loved ones? they are gonna be in a grave of their own.

And if somebody kills one of my trees on my property? Well ive PAID to have trees cut down so there ya go

Don't have to be sophisticated. Just matured past the point of middle school.

Did we pay Mr. Updyke to kill the tree's? Did the City of Auburn and the University decide that they were a nuisance and contract him to get rid of them. Your argument is stupid. Yes, trees get cut down every day. These trees are not planted pines, they are symbols. I know, they aren't important to you, we get it.

You can't do that. Coach Bryant wasn't just some guy and these trees aren't just scrub oaks on the side of the road. They are symbols that mean something to different groups of people.
