One of Auburn's famous Toomer's oaks was set on fire after beating LSU
Auburn fans have a tradition: They roll the oak trees at Toomer's Corner after big wins.
Beating No. 18 LSU on Saturday -- on a stunning replay that overturned a game-winning LSU touchdown, no less -- certainly qualifies as a big win.
So Tigers fan threw toilet paper over the Toomer's oaks in glee, and then somehow this happened.

Holy smokes.
Apparently, the worst case scenario was avoided as the fire department got to the tree in time and put out the fire.

Auburn fans don't need anymore disasters with their Toomer's oaks, not after the original ones were poisoned by an Alabama fan six years ago and had to be replaced.
