Published:
What could be more romantic on Valentine’s Day for Auburn fans than planting new Toomer’s Corner oak trees?
That’s exactly what will happen Saturday. The Tigers showed off pictures of the twin 35-foot oak trees making the trip from South Carolina to Alabama via the interstate on Wednesday.
It’s a nice distraction while we all wait on spring practice. (Speaking of which, you can find the date for every SEC spring game and the start of spring practice right here.)
