Toomer's Corner Set on Fire

At 3 a.m. Sunday morning, I was awoken by a text message from a friend of mine who manages the Sky Bar in Auburn. In that text was a picture of Toomer's Corner on fire. According to him, several drunk Bama fans set the trees on fire. I drove by the tree on my way out of town Sunday, and the damage doesn't appear to be too bad, but there is definately charring along the tree. It also appears that some limbs were sawed off the tree, probably ones that were burnt badly. I have not seen a single story in the media on this happening. Why is this storing not being told?!?!? I do not blame the Bama nation for the acts of a few rogue fans, but this is just unacceptable. I do have a copy of pic on my computer if anyone wants to see it.

i haven't heard anything about this in the paper's either. i went up to the corner to bask on sunday morning and noticed that there was no toilet paper in the corner trees, everywhere else but not there. looked on the ground and noticed that there was ash and many of the leftover rolls of tp were half-charred. asked one of the cleanup crew what had happened and he just said 'somebody started a fire.'
