In this Jan. 10 photo, Auburn fans gather at Toomer's Corner in Auburn, Ala., following Auburn's win over Oregon in the BCS
championship football game in Glendale, Ariz. Auburn University says someone
deliberately poisoned trees at Toomer's Corner and that the live oaks likely
can't be saved. The university said in a statement Wednesday that a
herbicide commonly used to kill trees was applied "in lethal amounts" to the
soil around the trees.
