Sad day at Auburn: Two oaks at Toomer's Corner taken down today

[HopherGole]

It may not seem like much, but the rolling of the trees at Toomer's corner is a long standing tradition there. Sad day at Auburn to see them taken away because of one stupid Bama fan.

I don't know HopherGole. I had figured Auburn would find some way to violate NCAA rules and not get caught in order to keep those oaks.

They could erect a statue of Harvey Updyke in the same area!

Still can't believe he got three years. Rapists don't always get three years.

Updyke was sentenced to three years for criminal damage to an agricultural facility. Under the deal, he must serve six months in jail and will be on supervised probation for five years after his release.

It looks like he'll only serve 6 months in jail.

...and he must stay 400 yards away from any tree in Alabama. It's going to make it hard for him to pee.

Nah, in Alabama they all carry a pee cup in their pickup.

Good old Harvey will get a stayed 1 year jail sentence plus a mental evaluation. That's it! On a condition that he moves far, far away from Alabama! Go Gophers!

Sorry but the guy deserves anything he gets. What a jerk. Not saying it is worse than most crimes.....as mentioned above a rapist should get ten years plus. But when I first heard this story I was pretty pissed and I knew nothing about the traditions in Auburn.

I think a rapist should get his tallywacker cut off. But that's for a different discussion on a different board.

I was pretty dissapointed when I first heard about what this guy did as well. I'm all for rivalry shenanigans but this was a permanent destruction of decades old living trees.
