Auburn football players will have a chance to roll the oaks at Toomer’s Corner this afternoon, according to al.com. It’s tradition for fans to “roll” the oaks with toilet paper after big wins, but players usually aren’t able to participate. The oaks, which were poisoned in 2010, will be removed on Tuesday.

SB Nation’s excellent Auburn blog, College and Magnolia, has tons of content on the oaks, their removal, and what it all means to Auburn fans. It’s a situation that’s made a lot of people understandably emotional, from fond remembrance to regret over how the situation is being handled. One enthusiastic Auburn fan has gone and had the trees tattooed on his back.
Harvey Updyke, the Alabama fan who poisoned the trees, pled guilty to criminal damage of an agricultural facility on March 22, and was sentenced to three years in prison.
The game will kick off at 2:05 p.m. ET from Jordan-Hare Stadium. You can watch it on CSS.
