From The Trussville Tribune staff reports
AUBURN –For the first time since the iconic oak trees were replaced after being poisoned, the rolling of Toomer’s Corner resumed following Auburn’s victory over Arkansas State a week ago.
A 29-year-old Auburn has been arrested in connection to the fire. Read the story here.
Following the Tiger’s win on LSU on Saturday night, the second rolling took place followed by a roaring fire when someone set the toilet paper ablaze.
Auburn police have a suspect in custody.

When Auburn is forced to give up this great tradition it’ll be a shame. All because of idiots who can’t act civilized.

The tree fire is terrible. But let me just say that the “rolling” of the trees tradition at Auburn is just dumb. It’s littering and it’s a crime. Then some poor maintenance dept has to waste valuable time and resources to clean it all up every time. Crazy.
