That picture would hurt my stomach a little less if Updyke's dessciated, crow picked, toilet papered, drawn and quartered corpse was hanging from one of those branches...

I hope he gets cornholed on an hourly basis in prison.

He should be daily raped with one of the larger branches they just pruned from the trees.

Well, sad news. It was reported on 560 AM in Dothan that it has been decided the Toomers Oaks
will be removed.

What most expected but still sad to hear. There was an article out not to long ago that Auburn was still
going to allow for the Oaks to be rolled this year. Not sure if that is still the plan.

Saw them in person up there yesterday. It was awful to look at them.

Well, since they can't be saved, we can still remember them.

Plans for redesign down to two, and will be voted upon on a future date.

Very subtle difference in the two, but I suppose the circle design is slightly cooler because you could roll from all directions instead of just one.

I agree, I like the Circle Wall Scheme a little better.

The shitty thing is in both designs the trees are much further from the street.

War Eagle anyway.

I like them both. Being further from the street doesn't bother me so much as long as the AUPD still blocks off the road after a victory.

I like the arcing path. Seems as you look down it, you have a path of unknown destination. A journey, so to speak.

The Circle Wall Scheme just looks like a nice place for a gathering. The Arching Path looks like it's heading nowhere...much like the Athletics Department.

Either one, but this is what I'll see:

Donâ€™t mean to be pissy, but of all the things they could come up with, They come up with womenâ€™s golf, womenâ€™s soccer, and 2010 Football.

Are the people in charge truly mental?

Not sure if this has been mentioned but it would be nice to see Auburn make some sort of wood structure or monument with what they have when cutting down the Oaks.

True, but from a business aspect, there is alot of money to made selling small portions to people. I know I would but it.

$25.00 for 3x3 chunch and bigger prices for bigger chuncks.

Well, the oaks are being brought down as we speak.

you can watch (if you want too)

Buzz Killington · « **Reply #98 on:** April 23, 2013, 10:35:17 AM »

I've been watching it most of the morning. It's really dusty here in my office today too...

djsimp · « **Reply #99 on:** April 23, 2013, 10:43:52 AM »

Ugh. I watched about 30 seconds of it. Can't really do much more than that. It just fn sucks to see it actually happening.
