A Day at Auburn

I was at the Auburn football game yesterday to see my nephew play in the marching band.   Here are some of the photos from the day:

These trees are called the Oaks at Toomer's Corner (there's a drugstore called Toomer's kitty-corner from the trees).  The trees are a historic landmark on the Auburn campus.  It has been become a tradition to "roll" (as in toilet paper "roll") the trees after Auburn football victories.  A couple years back the trees were poisoned and Auburn is doing what it can to save the trees.

The fly-over before the start of the game.

 Fumble!

Auburn's mascot, Aubie, conducting the band.

As you can tell from the trees, Auburn won its game against Alabama A&M.  Unfortunately, bad luck for the trees continued when the toilet paper on the trees caught fire early this morning.
