Toomer's Corner Burned

As I'm sure all of you know, Auburn has a tradition of rolling Toomer's corner following wins in football. Toomer's corner is found on the intersection of Magnolia and College Street. It is named for Toomer's Drugs a drugstore located at the intersection. Toomer's had the only telegraph in the city, still the main source of communication in Auburn, so after they received a telegraph with the results the owners would roll the trees to announce an Auburn victory. Following this year's Iron Bowl the Auburn fans continued this tradition rolling oak trees located on Toomer's corner. The past two years following their victories over Alabama they played Rammer Jammer, a cheer done by Alabama fans following a win. Since yall probably don't know how it goes, this is how: Hey Vols(or whatever the mascot of the opposing team) we just beat the hell out of you, Rammer Jammer yellow hammer give 'em hell Alabama! Auburn decided to play this with a few changes: Hey Bama, we just beat the hell out of you, rammer jammer yellow hammer, go to hell Alabama. Our retaliation, setting the toilet paper in the trees at Toomer's on fire. About 2:30am Sunday morning the Auburn Fire Department received a call that Toomer's Corner was burning. Firefighters arrived on the scene about 7 minutes later to find the toilet paper along with part of the oak tree on fire. An eye witness said it was a man in an Alabama jacket who pulled a lighter from his pocket and the the toilet paper in several places. Who knows what retaliation is in store for us next year.
