It's interesting to me that neither of you want to answer the simple question.

Nice use of a Photoshopped picture.



Here's one that isn't photoshopped...



To those that haven't seen the video. She eats the lizard while it's alive.

"This is an Auburn fan right here. Whatcha got?"

There is a difference in taking down a tree to build a house on the property and killing a tree because you have a temper tantrum. Having to explain that validates the warp mind set of Bama fans.

See, you keep running away from the question. I'm not asking about random trees in the forest being cut down for lumber, and you know it.



The question is :

Are you ok with taking your new, young, healthy trees that are replacing the old oaks and throwing toilet paper on them, ensuring they will have to be hosed down to clean off the toilet paper, which in turn will ensure that the trees will only live for 20% of their normal life expectancy?

Is that an acceptable off to you?

Mere...TRADITION.

Those trees represented years upon years of seeing Auburn students working their asses off for degrees. They were a mere tradition and a central "meeting place" while we heard the defeat of the Nazis in 1945. Those trees saw the fall of Berlin in 1989. And, those trees were alive in the 1930's when your University tried to smother all funds from every single school in your whole State just to keep the University of Alabama alive during the Great Depression.

Auburn did the right thing and turned to agriculture thanks to a land grant from the United State's government despite your own failing State back then.

Those trees saw all of "that". And we are here today.

Unfortunately, someone poisoned our trees at that spot, so we lost a bit of tradition in 2010. But we will move on...despite your trashy fanbase.

Is that a fair trade off to you?


AU spent 500K to try to save the old trees and knows how to keep the trees alive if not for Bammer rednecks stepping in. The trees were alive before Harvey stepped in and nobody knows how much longer they would have lived. Your numbers are a desperate attempt to justify Updyke actions.

So, yes, you are willing to sacrifice 80% of the natural lives of the new, young trees then?

And it didn't work, because the damage was already done. Being sprayed by high powered water hoses over and over again does that to any living thing, human or tree. The question is, do you want to continue those actions on the new, healthy trees?

This has nothing to do with Updyke and I've already repudiated his actions above and before. Any notion otherwise is an attempt to distract from the question at hand.

The photoshop photo is consistent with the portrait of Bama fans.

Can someone post a pic. of Cam choking and sulking in the SuperBowl.

It was literally Auburn's last gasp in sports relevance

Lol. That's a good one.


I guess the real photo of the fat lizard eater is an even more accurate representation of Auburn women. I bet when she dipped it in ketchup and dropped it on the ground, you hot chubbed up.

So, once again, neither of you have answered the very, very, very simple question.

What is your argument and where do you get your facts?

I don't have an argument, I had a question. You can read it every 4th post unanswered throughout the last 3 pages if you want to answer it.

where do you get your facts

"I'm surprised, given the power-washing, that the oaks are still here," Enebank (Scott Enebank, Tree Doctor, AU School of Forestry and Wildlife Sciences) says. "It is really hard on the trees...They may die in five years"
