    A caller to Finebaum's show claimed to have poisoned the oaks at Toomer's Corner at Auburn. He (or somebody) did, and now the trees will likely die.

    Heard this live a few weeks ago... guy said he was a transplant from Texas, became an Alabama fan and hated Auburn so much that after the Iron Bowl, he poisoned the trees. Claimed it was payback for Auburn fans TPing the trees when Bear Bryant died 30 YEARS ago.
    Told them exactly the poison he used. Sure enough...
    Ms. Slappy called a bit ago; was listening to Finebaum and said that, save one idiot, Bama fans want to hang this guy too.
    She said one caller asked, "What's next? Shoot the Eagle?"

    Holy Hell that's terrible.

    Figures it was a Texas transplant, apparently. Even true Bammers aren't that stupid.

    That dumb SOB ought to be fined for everything he's worth, then jailed for a year or so.

    I heard it that day... think he cares now?


    Of course, none of this could happen without the caustic fucker who makes a living playing both ends against the middle...

    I've seen it attract more toilet paper than that because classes let out early on a Tuesday.

    Just. Nasty. What happened to the days of fan card pattern subterfuge and the like? You beat us, so we kill your 130-year-old oak trees? Lawyer up, indeed.

    When a guy in Texas poisoned the Treaty Oak, he got nine years. Admittedly, he had priors.
