The oak trees at Toomer's Corner were poisoned by an herbicide- as some maroon claimed responsibility on the January 27th Paul Finebaum Show.
PAWWWWWWLLLLLLLLLLLL!!!!!!!!!!!
The caller, "Al from Dadeville" called the sports show to discuss allegations that Auburn students had allegedly rolled Toomer's Corner after learning of famed UA football coach Paul "Bear" Bryant's death in the early 1980s. "Al" then made the stunning admission that the week after the Iron Bowl in November 2010 he went to Toomer's Corner and dumped "Spike 80DF" on the trees.
"They're not dead yet, but they definitely will die."
When Finebaum asked if it was illegal to poison the trees, the man said "Do you think I care?" The caller ended the conversation with "Roll Damn Tide."
Here's the call, thanks to the PFRN and MyFoxAl/WBRC

"We will take every step we can to save the Toomer’s oaks, which have been the home of countless celebrations and a symbol of the Auburn spirit for generations of Auburn students, fans, alumni and the community,” said Auburn University President Jay Gogue.
"It is understandable to feel outrage in reaction to a malicious act of vandalism. However, we should live up to the example we set in becoming national champions and the beliefs expressed in our Auburn Creed. Individuals act alone, not on behalf of anyone or any place, and all universities are vulnerable to and condemn such reprehensible acts."
The university announced that lab reports found a high dose of Spike 80DF was applied in "lethal amounts to the soil around the Toomer's Corner live oaks." Yeah, about 65 times the safe amount for usage...
The Auburn Police Division is investigating.
More when we know more...
Absolutely classless...
