When a story becomes big you generally have a press conference as opposed to answering calls from and answering the same questions for 65 people.

Just sayin'.

I guess that makes sense. Still, the guy choked up when talking about the trees death cycle.

At the end of the day, dude violated federal law by using a product in a manner not prescribed on the label.

To quote Alonzo in Training Day, he federally f***ed.

Why so supportive of Bama and their fans?

How am I being supportive of Bama when I say Barn fans are damn near as loony as them?

I'm sorry you go to Auburn and take offense to the fact that the majority of Auburn fans are only slightly more intelligent than Bammers.

I get tired of explaining this but I've lived here and gone to school here on a full ride for a long time now and I like it for the most part. Tennessee will always be my team, but I have a soft spot for Auburn.

I also hate Alabama with an unholy passion and it makes me mad to see people on here sticking up for their fans when they pull crap like this.

So this is your admission to your bias. Cool.

So just admit you're an Auburn fan.

It's okay.

If one of our rivals took a sledgehammer to the rock on UT campus and destroyed it to where it couldn't be fixed I probably wouldn't care that much.

I'm not saying it was right for the guy to kill them, I just think this is dumb.

You must not have gone to UT then.

It wouldn't ruin my day is all I'm saying. This has ruined their month and is just going to make their rivalry even more intense.

It's a rock, not that big of a deal. IMO

You're wasting your time 182. This thread is littered with unreasonable tree hugging hippies who place more value on replaceable trees than irreplaceable human life.

Auburn discovered the poisoning after taking soil samples on Jan. 28, a day after a man called a syndicated radio show based in Birmingham saying he had used the herbicide on the trees.

"The weekend after the Iron Bowl, I went to Auburn, Ala., because I live 30 miles away, and I poisoned the Toomer's trees," the caller told The Paul Finebaum Radio Show, saying he was at the Iron Bowl.

Calling himself "Al from Dadeville," he said he used Spike 80DF, also known as tebuthiuron, and the trees "definitely will die." The caller signed off with, "Roll Damn Tide."

Later Thursday, WTVM in Columbus, Ga., reported that police arrested Harvey Almorn Updyke, 62, on a charge of criminal mischief. His bond is set at $50,000, the station reported.

-From the article on ESPN. Sorry if this has already been posted.

There's your presumed culprit, I guess.
Just when you think Enemy followers can't possibly stoop any lower, something like this happens. There is no excuse for **** like this. It is petty, childish, and disgusting to do something that vile and despicable to a landmark like the 130+ year-old tree at Toomer's Corner. It makes you wonder what would happen if the Torchbearer or the new General Neyland statue had been defaced or the Hill had been trashed or vandalized, or the Rock had been defaced with Enemy propaganda, or worse, if Neyland Stadium had been burned to the ground. Like them or not, the Aubies didn't deserve this. No one does.

The Enemy keeps giving me reasons to despise them. :finger3:
