First, no I didn’t read all the posts.
2nd, I think the trees being poisoned was very immature and there is no doubt this man was out of his mind…he has no excuse to do this.
3rd, just in case you didn’t know…these trees had been dying for the past few years and were expected to be dead in the next 3-5…Auburn was already looking to replace them in the near future.
Now, that doesn’t make it “right” but just in case you didn’t know it isn’t as if these trees were expected to live another 75 years…they were already in the process of dying.
4th, I don’t think anyone should blame a particular fan base. Everyone who does that isn’t thinking clearly. It isn’t as if the Bama nation got together and voted on poisoning the trees. I believe the worst thing Auburn fans could do is show their ignorance and retaliate.
5th, I’m an Alabama fan and i can think objectively and without bias. I wish some other people (from both fan bases) would grow up and do the same. Roll Tide!

knowing next to nothing about plant biology, still I wonder–or maybe because I know so little about plant biology–if limbs off the trees could be grafted onto other live oak trees. I know it wouldn’t be the same thing, but the genetics would be unchanged

This is a crime committed by a psychotic criminal. To bash Bama would only make you a Biggit! How many people do you know from your own High School that have committed horrible crimes? Do you blame your school?
No! You Blame the individual! Alabama is not guilty of this crime and all the cheap shots to Alabama and it’s fans should stop.
Think before you speak! This is one man that is so saddened by a delusional nut jobs acts! But, to blame an entire school and their fans would be just wrong.

parts per billion is reported to be enough to kill it, it was found in parts per million, so it looks roughly like a dose less than a thousandth what was used would have done it.

Does anyone know how much of this chemical would have had to be used to kill trees that large?

I remember one time when a Auburn fan poured sugar in the gas tank of a Alabama fan’s truck, causing a lot damage and expense, that he didn’t have it to pay (he had 4 small children). Very very stupid!

It doesn’t matter what school, they all have fans like that!!!!!

Theres been a great deal of Bama fan bashing over this disturbed man’s act but I see where his children and grandchildren are getting death threats from
Auburn fans. I believe threatening someones life over 2 trees that were dying
already is more disturbing than what Updyke did. Every college football
team has a lunatic fringe including Auburn.
