A Tradition to Remember- Toomers Corner
Although the Oaks of Toomers Corner will be taken out of the ground and put to rest it is a wonderful tradition at Auburn. During the 2011-2012 football season the oak trees were poisoned by a man named Harvey Updyke, a man who claims to have "just to much bama" inside of him. Although Alabama is our instate rival, being a fan has nothing to do with vandalizing property.
After every win the Auburn family meets to roll the trees at Toomers Corner. It has been a tradition for many years and will always be a huge part of Auburn. During the final rolling which I was able to happily be a part of, Auburn fans had a celebration of the tradition and what it means to be a part of the Auburn family.
