Hmmm. I'm not sure how I feel about y'all cutting down their tree. Definitely a version of the story never told.

I actually don't think this story is good bull at all. How would you feel if some ******* cut down the century tree?
Little too Harvey Updyke for my liking.

I'm not really digging that story. Maybe it was a different time, but trespassing and stealing and destroying/desecrating other's traditions isn't really what I think of when I think about what Texas A&M is all about.

I wonder if OP would have considered it good bull if he had poisoned the trees at Auburn the night after they beat us? I mean they had it coming cuz of the horse collar right? I guess it's too bad someone beat him to it. Would made for a great story I'm sure.

I've got mixed emotions on this topic. Today cutting a tree down would be deplorable but in the 70's all the SWC schools were snatching mascots or doing other similar things.
Hate this story. Cutting down trees is NOT cool. Neither is poisoning trees. How would any of you feel if the Century Oak was killed by some fool.
quote:
Based upon the article posted previously, that tree was estimated to be 104 years old based upon the rings. I'm not cool that it was cut down. Smacks a little too much of the 'tard who poisoned Toomers Oaks. However, I don't think I'll judge you for something that was done about 40 years ago when things were different. If that happened today though I would be ashamed if the people who did it were Ags.
So who is more of a "pansy ass": (A) a person who is not quick to start e-high fiving a guy for cutting down a tree without the owners permission OR (B) a person that gets their panties in a wad and feelings hurt because a bunch of mean old rice band nerds made a fire hydrant on the field?
I mean, if you want to swing your dick around and act like a bad ass because you think its awesome that OP went and cut down the Rice football team's tree, that's fine. But be a real a bad ass then and don't let some band nerds hurt your feelings by making fun of you.
Also, I'm not directing this at OP, I have no problem with what he posted and I haven't seen him whining about the Rice band like I have seen from posters on this thread and the other MOB threads. In fact from his story, he seemed to have approached the situation very reasonably and did his duty of OD. Also, like I said in my first post, I probably would have done it when I was 20 and I would have thought it was an awesome story as well.
