Any idea how much restitution someone is going to have to pay for a 130 yo oak tree?

Exactly. How do we KNOW this was done by a UA fan. Sure it's been joked about, but whoever did this obviously knows their tree poisons and is pissed at AU. 2 + 2 = MSU.

that being said I've pre-ordered my Daniel Moore print of them cutting down the trees.

A lot of tradition with that tree. I would not be shocked if they find the caller and if proven he could get jail time over this.

IMO it is one thing to spray paint a schools gym or do damage that can be cleared up but it is another to do perm damage to another school's property due to a rivalry. It bothers me that some Auburn fans put a Cam jersey on the Bear statue, but that doesn't perm damage it. I'd be pissed if they did lasting damage to the statue, and hope this doesn't lead to that type of a problem.

People take this rivalry way too serious. If Auburn or Alabama closed its doors I'd be sad but my life would go on, I honestly believe there are people who couldn't function if that happened.

I'm surprised that you're not more upset by this - considering that you are about the same age as the trees.

This is pretty low. I don't approve of this and I send my apologies to the Barners. You just don't mess with tradition.

DO you think it is an original idea ? Do you think it's been thought about before he went on air ? Who knows it could have been anyone. I'm not saying it isn't a 'Bama fan tho.

When the Bama grass happened, the concensus was that Toomer's Trees would get hit. Imo, the blame lies on Auburn for not taking the right precautions.

Someone who made a joke and repeated something he and his dumbass buddies joke to each other about doing but would never do because they are cuckold assholes.

It's been joked about for years. Someone in this thread mentioned bombing Denny Chimes or "digging up the Bear", if either of those happened should they be arrested and put on trial?

Now if they trace the phone records to the dude that claimed to poison it on Finebaum and then track down that he bought this special poison or whatever then OK he's fricked. Otherwise to think that only UA fans hate AU is a little short sighted.

Of course it was an Alabama fan. We have been saying for months that this was going to happen with all the crap Auburn fans have been doing. I'm not condoning it, I just can't believe you guys are surprised.

Didn't he say on finebaum what type of poison he used? Didn't they sample the soil that determined they were poisoned the day after that call?
