Toomer's Corner: A tragedy...

One of the most integral aspects of college football is tradition.

From Georgia's "ringing the Victory Bell", to Ole Miss' walk through "The Grove"traditions in college football are as important as the games. Right up there with the best of those traditions is Auburn's "Toomer's Corner", where students roll the two giant trees after wins.

The fact that some moron decided to poison those trees is heart breaking because of the immensely negative effect on the great tradition that is rolling Toomer's Corner. And I say that as a proud Georgia fan whose team has been the reason for plenty of Toomer's rollings I can assure you.

At the end of the day, this is a tremendous loss for Auburn specifically, and a big loss for college football in general. A very sad loss. It truly does sicken me that such a gem may be, more than likely will be, lost.

Sportz2Day Blog Back Open...

I've been debating for a while now whether to jump back in.

However, there are things I want to say that don't fit my contributor's role with the GREAT southern college football site chuckoliver.net. If you want the most in-depth southern college football coverage (SEC, ACC, CUSA) go there, http://dev.chuckoliver.net/ ,it is at the top of the list of great collegeg football information sites.

Anyway, I've decided to return to the sportz2day blog to talk all things sports.
