Sheppard Smith had a segment this evening as well on FOX. His comment "Alabama Fans, Lock your doors" was unnessary and provocative. We don't need this to escalate.
The Auburn Champions need to hold a higher ground, lest the copycats go rampant.
This is very, very sad.

Oh, I'm not worked up... I thought it was neat they were supposed to have a live shot, but that didn't happen for some reason. They had intentions, but sometimes logistics doesn't work out. :-)

Its not a matter of getting worked up, it's a matter of disbelief of such stupidity.....i think the "gone national" news event is evidence of such.

How would you feel if someone poisened "UGA." I understand that UGA is, or was, a living, breathing animal, unlike a tree but, "UGA" is a tradition... much like the Oaks. If you don't get that... than Row Tawd to you.

Just like this nut I would like to see him put away. The better analogy would be someone tearing up The Arch. I still think a glass of wine would help :-)
I'll make one prediction though. I'll bet this guy shouldn't have been walking around in the first place.

It's not noon yet so, a glass of wine is temporarily out of the question. However, excuse my ignorance, what is this "Arch" of which you speak?

The Arch was the gateway to the original campus in the 1850's. Lore has it that if a freshman passes through the arch he will not graduate. It's funny to see them go around it. One of the university's great traditions.

Tearing down the archs, or knocking down Denney Chimes would be horrific. These are, however, manmade and although it would not be the original, they could be rubuilt. The trees are over 130 years old, and for all intents and purposes are not replaceable...at least not for several generations. A friend (and fellow poster) mentioned yesterday that this would be similar to someone taking a sledge hammer to the concrete walkway around Denney Chimes where the handprints and signatures of past greats have been memorialized. Some of these individuals are deceased and you could not replace things like hand prints. It would be an unjust retaliation to any act...particularly something that happened 28 years ago.
I am, and will forever be an Auburn fan. I have been there in good and bad. I have friends who are die hard Alabama Fans, and we appreciate the rivalry and bragging rights brought on by each years Iron Bowl. We make the phone calls, and the jokes, and the jabs, and buy each other shirts from the opposite team. We also respect each opposing teams traditions. My brother (who's as much an Alabama Fan as I am an Auburn Fan) has commented that when Spirit or Tiger take flight before a game, even he gets a little chill. We can occupy this state together. I realize some of us live and breathe Auburn or Alabama, but at the end of the day it IS just a game. To resort to criminal acts over it is plain ignorant.
The nut job who did this may yell Roll Tide, but I don't think he is indicative of most Alabama Fans...he simply is a cowardly b*****d who can only express himself through cowardly acts. If I ran the world, his name would be mentioned no more. He would only be known as the Cowardly b*****d who kills trees.
In the end, I must agree with the "drink a glass of wine theory". I did that yesterday when i got home and will do it again tonight. The rhetoric must die down before some classless dope who claims to be an Auburn fan does something equally as stupid as retribution for this act.
WAR EAGLE and Long live the Iron Bowl...without it, we might just have to start watching soccer.

Red...most always red and when it's opened, there is no need to keep the cork...it will not be needed again.
