MORNING BREW
Have fans between rival schools gone too far? Was the poisoning of the old oak trees at Auburn
University's Toomer's Corner the job of one fanatic, or a sign of things to come for rivalries all across the country?
BY ETHAN PADWAY epadway@kansan.com
At first glance I assumed that Alabama must dominate the rivalry, mostly because Alabama has claimed 13 national titles compared to just two for Auburn. Alabama has also won 26 conference titles compared to just 11 for Auburn
But in head-to-head play Alabama holds just a six-game advantage over their bitter in-state rivals.
The man, who called into a popular radio show and identified himself as "Al from Dadeville," claimed he poisoned the old oak trees in retaliation for Auburn celebrating the death of famous Alabama coach Paul "Bear" Bryant. The celebration included rolling the trees in toilet paper as is the Auburn custom — almost 28 years earlier.
Even so, Alabama is still a much more recognizable school historically, and I still can't understand why a fan of a school with so much more national success than their rival would stoop so low. Especially when you examine the reasoning behind these actions.
Whether or not the Auburn fans actually did this or not is in question, but it
does bring up a few questions. First, why did he take so long to respond? Was he just jealous at all the attention Auburn is receiving from its recent national championship? And if so, does he not remember how Alabama received the same spotlight just a year earlier?
And on top of that, Alabama entered last season as the number one team, and returned most of their starters from their national championship team, Auburn is losing their key player and Heisman Trophy winner Cam Newton to the NFL draft.
The biggest reason I can think of is that Alabama feels like it is a big brother-little brother rivalry, and for at least one fan it was too much to watch little brother step out of big brother's shadow.
Honestly, I hold similar feelings toward K-State. They are sort of the little brother
— the nuisance — and not even Kansas's most important rival. Last year K-State advanced to the elite eight of the NCAA tournament, while the Jayhawks bowed out much earlier than anticipated. Still, it did not cause any KU fans to overreact and create criminal mischief. And two years ago the more bitter rival, Missouri, made a deep run without any criminal actions.
But maybe that is because I know that no matter how high Dicky V ranks K-State in the preseason, or how much fanfare swirls around Missouri, I know neither team will ever eclipse the basketball greatness the exists here at KU. So, stealing from the radio caller from Alabama: ROCK DAMN CHALK!
