USA Today’s graphic designers seem to be giving the Toomer’s Oaks a subtle, final shout out in today’s sports section.

Have we confirmed that it’s because of the Toomer’s Oaks or simply the fact that Arbor Day is this Friday? I haven’t seen a USA Today this week. Has the logo been like that all week or only the Sports section and only for today?
I can confirm that as for today’s USA Today, the sports section (with the Auburn article at the top) is the only one with this logo. I doubt it has anything to do with Arbor Day this Friday.
