That's what the rest of the entire nation thinks about Bama fans.

I for one *DO* hate that this transplant Texan named Updyke came into MY state and messed with OUR rivalry with Auburn.

He's just some lonely old man who wanted to be a part of something because daddy didn't put down the bottle long enough to spend time with him.

I can't understand why ANYONE would condone this outsider's involvement with OUR state's rivalry.

Roll Tide but screw Updyke.
ganu76 - I read your post on Texags as well and agree. Updyke did no one any favors. He is an idiot and really proved it by poisoning the trees and on the ESPN show about the Alabama/Auburn rivalry.

Bad all the way around.

FYI, Updyke is originally from Alabama who came back to HIS state after retirement. He is obviously certifiable, but HIS actions were HIS and not those of anyone on this site or any other Alabama fan. If you don't like criticism of auburn YOU are on the wrong site.
Actually, he was born and grew up in Milton, FL. There are a lot of Bama fans in the panhandle...

What they need to replace them with is something that is impervious to rolling and truly represents the Auburn tradition. I suggest a bronze statue. On the left, Cam running with a stolen laptop. On the right Pat holding his old friend and most trusted advisor, Black Jack Daniels. And in the center, towering over al, Bobby Lowder riding a Colonial Jet and cheerfully tossing handfuls of cash from a Colonial bank bag.

It dates back all the way to the early '90s, when the power lines were buried and no longer available for rolling...

Didn't the rolling tradition begin after they won the '72 Iron Bowl on the block punts; Bama was ranked number 2 and one of the Auburn players commented about beating the number 2 out of Alabama--thus they got out the TP?

I think they just didn't know what toilet paper was for.

Also, for old times sake, immediately afterwards they will be pressure-washing the crap-, um, I mean the remaining life out those tired, old trees.

You notice that the article states that they don't give a date on when they will remove them. I think they are using this as a way to get people to come to their spring game.

Yes, but they rolled the power lines. If you want to take the time to Google, there are a lot of shots...

I think i will go get my picture made in front of the trees with my Bama gear on smiling. I can show it to my grandkids. I will tell them how the barners caught their trees and stadium on fire. LOL

"To keep the tradition alive, the university and city will create structures at the College Street-Magnolia Avenue intersection that are suitable for rolling after the oaks are gone.."

My favorite part. Surrogate trees -

That thread on Texags is really creepy & a very bad reflection on your fanbase. Some on that thread want Updyke killed and almost none of the Aggies posting are aware of the true long-term viability of those trees before Updyke pulled his stunt.

I know you guys are trying your best to ingratiate yourself into the SEC, but you guys should really understand the situation a bit more before making the bizarre statements that prevail and are applauded in that thread. Do you guys really think that a rival fanbase slaughtering Bevo or Uga is less of an offense?

Examples below...

ganu76: I can only equate it to ME coming from over here and moving to Texas, claiming to be a big, big Aggie fan (something many of you guys grew up understanding and "getting") and then slaughtering Bevo

Ulrich:
IMO killing the oaks is a much bigger deal than killing Bevo would be.
69 BQ: "There are some people in this world who are alive today only, and only because, it's against the law to kill them".

This is a quote that you will hear from time to time. In this case ... it applies. What a total [...]. I truly hope that [his] death is as long and drawn out as it has been for that precious tree.
