Auburn's Toomer Corner tree poisoner gives media the single-digit salute

Harvey Almorn Updyke, the man arrested on suspicion of poisoning the live oak trees at Toomer’s Corner, was released from jail after posting $50,000 bail. As Updyke was being whisked away from the Lee County Detention Center, the whack job, with his green ball cap pulled low over his eyes, decided to give his single-finger opinion of either where the media ranks or where he feels his beloved Alabama Crimson Tide will finish in the polls following the 2011 season. One of the two. We can’t post the video here, but it can be viewed by clicking HERE. In more positive news involving the destruction of the historic landmarks, “Tide for Toomer’s“, the Facebook page created by Alabama fans with the goal of raising money to help offset the cost of replacing the oaks at Toomer’s Corner, has nearly 48,000 fans and has raised nearly $32,000 as of 3 ET this afternoon.
