This means the trees didn't die? Don't get me wrong, I am glad they didn't. HOOVER, Ala. -- Auburn’s Toomer’s Corner oak trees will be open for rolling this fall. The university announced Thursday that it will allow fans to roll the school’s iconic, 130-year-old oak trees with toilet paper at least temporarily this fall, less than a year after they were poisoned with the herbicide Spike 80DF. After consulting several experts, the school decided it will clean the ailing trees by hand instead of with high-pressure hoses. “The spirit’s going to live on another year,” Auburn tight end Philip Lutzenkirchen said at the SEC media days. link (http://www.ledger-enquirer.com/2011/07/22/1666412/auburn-notes-toomers-oaks-can.html#ixzz1SyGeSCMs) I bet they don't get to roll them very much this season with all those losses. 8) Title: Re: Toomer's oaks can be rolled this year Post by: BAMAWV on July 23, 2011, 06:03:37 PM SIAP Going out on a limb, Hank?This means the trees didn't die?

I know it's not Chizik.
The boogs taking care of the trees decided it is best not to pressure wash the bark off of them. 8) Title: Re: Toomer's oaks can be rolled this year Post by: BAMAWV on July 24, 2011, 06:48:55 AM If the boogs are good this season and win 10 or 11 games, First I would be shocked, second CNS needs to hire Malzahn!

I know it's not Chizik. The boogs taking care of the trees decided it is best not to pressure wash the bark off of them. The defense lawyers are going to love this. If the trees die now, no direct ties to herbicide. The Boogers are acknowledging that pressure washing hurts the trees. Love it. :P Title: Re: Toomer's oaks can be rolled this year Post by: ssmith general on July 24, 2011, 07:22:39 AM This entire tree thing is more ridiculous than not having an air condition or sufficient rugs.
