Auburn earned an 18-13 victory Saturday over LSU, which left fans in a mood to celebrate. The aftermath will leave the fans less jovial.

As is tradition, the oak trees in Toomer's Corner were rolled with toilet paper following the win, but that paper was then accidentally set on fire, leaving one whole tree ablaze.

It's been a rough few years for Toomer's Corner. Not only has one of the oak trees been turned into an inferno, but in 2010, the famous trees were poisoned by an Alabama fan after a loss in the Iron Bowl. The Tide fan would go on to serve six months in jail for the incident.
