According to Jeff Masters's weather blog, USDA updated its Plant Hardiness Zones, shifting Ann Arbor 5 degrees from zone 5 to the warmer zone 6. That puts us squarely in the area that the Ohio Buckeye tree thrives. In fact the USDA Forest Service expects an infestation.

"If fans don't come to the ballpark, you can't stop em."
interesting factoid
The fruit of the ohio buckeye tree is also known as the stinking or fetid buckeye. This is compared to the yellow buckeye tree, the fruit of which is known as the sweet buckeye.
So there you go - Ohio Buckeye = stinking or fetid. Yellow = Sweet. Coincidence? I think not.
Hurrah for the Yellow (and Blue)!

No worries, we'll just cut them down and use them to build toilets and other things you can crap in.
A natural progression
"Buckeye" and "infestation" are two words that belong together.
New Tradition?
I say we embrace it. Plant a couple Buckeye trees on the Quad and TP them when we beat Ohio. Or we burn the damned things down. Whatever.
