A Brief and Somewhat Silly Interlude Before We Get to the Final Post


Okay, this doesn't have anything to do with the Field House except that the above tree, which I first wrote about here, was cut down to make way for Bradley's massive expansion program that is also gobbling up the Field House.

There was some effort to save the above copper beech. Now, not only is its trunk being preserved but also guarded; as you can see, it has a chain link fence around it. Am I the only one who finds this flabbergasting?

What I want to know is why? Who is going to such lengths to preserve the trunk of this tree (hauling it to Meinen Field, putting it up on wood blocks, surrounding it with a fence) and what are they going to do with it?

If you know, please tell me. Please! Please! Please!
