Okay, the Saban part was a lie, but I’d still be taking a long look at Deb and WingT if I were an Auburn fan.
In a day already saturated with Auburn news here on CFT, there’s another mystery coming from The Plains that, unfortunately, might destroy one of the signature areas that makes Auburn, well, Auburn.
According to an Associated Press story, the university has stated that someone has deliberately poisoned the trees at Toomer’s Corner and that the historic live oaks likely can’t be saved.
The university said that “lethal” amounts of the herbicide Spike 80DF were found in the soil around the oaks. Of course, rolling Toomer’s Corner has become one of the iconic traditions of the Auburn program. Being a guy who appreciates the tradition and pageantry area of college football, it would a real shame if the famed spot had to be modified in any way.
