Celebrating Auburn fans can once again heave toilet paper into Toomer’s Oaks

Published Wed, 25 Dec 2024 16:48:57 GMT

AUBURN, Ala. (AP) — Auburn fans will once again be able to celebrate victories by rolling the oak trees at Toomer’s Corner with toilet paper.Auburn had asked fans not to roll the new trees after their planting in February 2017 until they were established enough to avoid damage. The trees were removed after being poisoned by Alabama fan Harvey Updyke in 2010.Two new live oaks were planted in 2015 but both were removed after being damaged by fire while celebrating a win over LSU.“The rolling of Toomer’s Corner is one of the nation’s top sports traditions,” Auburn President Christopher B. Roberts said. “Our fans have come together for decades on the corner of Magnolia and College to celebrate our big wins.“In recent years, we continued our cherished tradition by rolling different trees, but I am very excited that the Auburn family will once again be able to roll our most prominent trees.”Updyke, who died in 2020, had pleaded guilty to poisoning the trees, which were planted...

It’s the biggest Mega Millions jackpot ever. Feeling lucky?

Published Wed, 25 Dec 2024 16:48:57 GMT

The largest Mega Millions jackpot ever is up for grabs Tuesday night.The odds of winning are slim, less than 1 in 302 million, but if someone lucks out, they’ll wake up more than $1.5 billion richer — at least, before taxes.The reason the jackpot grew so big is no one has matched all the necessary numbers going back to mid April, but that’s all due to change Tuesday night, according to customers who bought their tickets from Crescent Wine and Spirits in Bowie, Maryland.“Of course, everybody thinks they have the winning ticket, but I know I have it,” said one woman, who chose to stay anonymous because of the windfall she’s expecting in her bank account. She vowed most people will never know she won.“My neighbors will probably find out when I start doing things to the house,” she said. “I mind my own business, I expect them to mind their own business,” she added with a laugh.The other four biggest Mega Millions jackpots were all won by a single ticket, but apparently that won’t be the...

MIAMI – El gobernador de Florida y aspirante a la nominación republicana en 2024, Ron DeSantis, reemplazó a su directora de campaña, Generra Peck, después de un significativo recorte de personal en su equipo y mientras se halla cada vez a mayor distancia del favorito en las encuestas, el expresidente Donald Trump.En un comunicado divulgado este martes, el medio The Messenger News informó que Peck será reemplazada por el jefe de gabinete de la oficina del gobernador, James Uthmeier.De acuerdo con el citado medio, la directora de campaña saliente permanecerá como estratega de la campaña y “como parte de la reestructuración”. Peck guió la reelección a gobernador de DeSantis el año pasado, pero “rápidamente se convirtió en objeto de críticas de los asesores y donantes de DeSantis a mediados de julio después de que su campaña presidencial se estancara y el dinero se agotara”, añadió el medio.Según informó el martes NBC desde Tallahassee, la capital de F...

Published Wed, 25 Dec 2024 16:48:57 GMT

BROOKLYN, Mich. (AP) — Chase Elliott is running out of time.The 2020 NASCAR Cup Series champion, whose year was stunted by a snowboarding accident and hindered by a suspension, needs to win one of the next three races to earn a spot in the playoffs.“It’s the only option,” he acknowledged.On a short week, the series shifts to the road course at Indianapolis Motor Speedway for the Verizon 200 on Sunday before the regular season closes with races at Watkins Glen and Daytona.Elliott lasted just 34 laps in the FireKeepers 400 at Michigan, where Chris Buescher won his second straight race on Monday, because a tire failure sent his car into the wall.“Add it to the list,” he said.The Hendrick Motorsports star had a setback March when he had surgery on his left leg after a snowboarding accident in Colorado, knocking him out of the Pennzoil 400 in Las Vegas days later and the next five races. After coming back, NASCAR suspended him for one race after it determined he deliberately wrecke...

FLORHAM PARK, N.J. (AP) — Aaron Rodgers was calling out signals during a recent walkthrough practice when C.J. Mosley spotted exactly what the New York Jets’ offense was lining up to do.It’s an on-field chess match between the New York Jets middle linebacker and quarterback — and Mosley cracked the code in that moment.“He looked at me and said, ‘What did you say?’ and changed the play,” a smiling Mosley said Tuesday, adding it has been one of the “coolest things” he has seen in training camp this summer. “And then I was like, ‘Oh, that’s different right there.’ Just little stuff like that.”But that has actually been the big stuff Rodgers has brought to the Jets since being acquired from Green Bay in April. The 39-year-old Rodgers is building a rapport with the offense and looking to turn one of the NFL’s worst units the past few seasons into one of its best. He’s also helping the defense improve by keeping that side of the ball on its toes. Rodgers rout...
