@Belle7000-Unless your were there to see someone from AAMU do it, you don't know for sure and its wrong to assume that you do! Don't do that! People are always quick blame. I am an AAMU alumni and please believe me when I tell you that no one from AAMU cares about them trees, for real!!!

Are they going to burn the oak trees for good after Bammer kicks their azzs about 60-0 next week! Or maybe they can have a wiener roast and roast Chizzdik's wiener along with the wieners of all the jailbirds!

No, it's more like Alabama A&M burned our trees. I hope they never are invited back to campus or the town again.

So now Auburn is burning their own iconic oak trees? Can't blame this one on ole Harvey Updike...he was probably at the Bama/Western Carolina game enjoying the rout. Perhaps the Auburn family will say that this blazing fire is good therapy and treatment to save the trees?
