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.
