Probably a member of the same family that set cars on fire up here in Lexington for the Final Four.

Even just TPing the tree seems like a silly thing to do. As precious as this tree is to Auburn, you would think they would have treated it with more respect..

I don't know how many of you read The New Yorker, but there was a profile in an earlier issue of Paul Finebaum, who hosts the radio show "Al from Dadeville" called after he poisoned the oaks.
The article doesn't mention anything we don't already know, but here is a synopsis:

This even brings a tear to the eye of this Tennessee fan.

As an Auburn alum, I have to avoid reading anything about this at work because I know I'll end up crying! On a happier note, I'm hoping to visit Knoxville for the first time when we play in November!

Neyland has a special place in my heart. Hope you enjoy it if you can get to Knoxville!

The AU community voted on a new landscape plan and I can't remember which one won. I don't see how they'll put any plants where the oaks were, though, because the soil is so toxic. The poison probably leached out quite a ways from the trees and may have killed some gorgeous yellow native azaleas nearby (I haven't been back to campus since it happened.)
For many years now, AU has been selling the acorns from the trees in commemorative packages and no doubt some fans have offered the now young trees to replace the poisoned ones but there's the problem with the poison in the soil.

Sculptures of the trees would be awesome, since nothing can be grown there now. Maybe even with the little lights on them, commemorating the original oak trees.
